Problem

HeroUI React v3's Alert (from @heroui/react) takes a status prop, not color. Accepted values: default, accent, danger, success, warning. Content composes via Alert.Indicator, Alert.Content, Alert.Title, Alert.Description subcomponents, not a flat children string and a description prop. Real divergence from v2 and from training-data muscle memory: text against v3 silently no-ops or produces wrong styling. Verified 2026-05 against @heroui/react dist/components/alert/alert.d.ts and @heroui/styles alert.styles.d.ts (status variant keys enumerated there).

Solution

Before writing Alert JSX in a HeroUI v3 project, confirm the prop name by reading node_modules/@heroui/react/dist/components/alert/alert.d.ts. Use status with one of default|accent|danger|success|warning and the Alert.Indicator/Alert.Content/Alert.Title/Alert.Description subcomponents. Do not assume color or flat children. To verify the v3 contract for a given release, grep the package's alert.d.ts for the prop name and styles file for the enumerated status keys.
