# Announcement Bar

> A top-of-section notice bar with icon, text, and an optional link. Supports optional dismissal.

The `AnnouncementBar` block renders a full-width banner for time-sensitive notices — application deadlines, event announcements, or program updates. It supports an icon, linked text, and a dismiss button.

## Props

<ParamField path="icon" type="string">
  Icon name from the Iconify/Lucide set. Rendered before the announcement text.
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="text" type="string" required>
  The announcement message text.
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="link" type="object">
  Optional link appended to the announcement. Object with:

  * `label` (string) — link display text
  * `href` (string) — destination URL
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="dismissible" type="boolean">
  When `true`, a close (×) button appears and the bar can be dismissed by the visitor. Defaults to `false`.
</ParamField>

## Usage in Sanity Studio

1. Add an **Announcement Bar** block near the top of a page.
2. Enter the **Text** (required).
3. Optionally set an **Icon** name, a **Link**, and toggle **Dismissible**.

## Example

```typescript theme={null}
{
  _type: 'announcementBar',
  icon: 'calendar',
  text: 'Applications for the Spring 2026 cohort are now open.',
  link: { label: 'Apply now', href: '/apply' },
  dismissible: true
}
```
