Notice

A message the page announces without focus moving: a status (polite) or an alert (assertive, focusable). The live region is the element itself.

Demo

Your message was sent.

Property editor

Change a value and apply it; the demo renders with the new values. A refused value is reported at its field and the demo keeps the starting value.

Properties

Property	Type	Default	Allowed values	Description
`kind`	`string`	`status`	`status`, `alert`	status: role=status with aria-live=polite; alert: role=alert, focusable.
`text`	`string`	required		One or two sentences, in the page's language.
`id`	`string`	none		Optional, for a script or a link to focus it.

Events

This component sends no events.

Keyboard

This component has no keyboard behaviour of its own.

Accessibility

The text is announced when it appears or changes; nothing else moves.
The bar at the start (accent for a status, danger for an alert) is a second cue beside the role, never the only one.

Rationale

What the UI kit's Speech announces without focus moving, on the web: a live region. The kind is the role and a modifier class, so the colour of the bar at the start cannot say something else than the role does. An alert gets tabindex="-1" so a form can move focus to its error summary.

Callers: a site's hooks (the catalogue page of examples/site); the form's answer and error summary when the form component lands (docs/architecture/forms-pipeline.md, section 7).
