Toast

The toast is used to show alerts on top of an overlay.

The toast will close itself when the close button is clicked, or after a timeout — the default is 5 seconds.

Toasts can be configured to appear at either the top or the bottom of an application window, and it is possible to have more than one toast onscreen at a time.

Import component

import useToast from '@nature-ui/toast';

Usage

function ToastExample() {
  const toast = useToast();

  return (
    <Button
      onClick={() =>
        toast({
          title: 'Account created.',
          description: "We've created your account for you.",
          status: 'success',
          duration: 9000,
          isClosable: true,
        })
      }
    >
      Show Toast
    </Button>
  );
}

Positioning toast

By default, all the toasts will be positioned on the top-right of your browser.

The following values are allowed: top-right, top, top-left, bottom-right, bottom, bottom-left

import React from 'react';
import useToast from '@nature-ui/toast';

const Position = () => {
  const toast = useToast();

  const notify = () => {
    toast({ title: 'Success Notification !', status: 'success' });
  };

  return <button onClick={notify}>Notify</button>;
};

Set autoClose delay or disable it

To change the show delay for any toast, simply pass the duration prop when invoking the toast function.

Note 🚨: If you pass null as the duration, the toast will always remain on screen.

import React from 'react';
import useToast from '@nature-ui/toast';

const Duration = () => {
  const toast = useToast();

  const notify = () => {
    toast({
      duration: 5000,
      title: 'I will close after 5 secs',
    });
  };

  return <button onClick={notify}>Notify</button>;
};

Render a custom toast component

Display a custom component instead of the default Toast UI.

We provide 2 key props to your component, id, and onClose to close the toast (to build your custom close button).

function Example() {
  const toast = useToast();

  return (
    <Button
      onClick={() => {
        toast({
          position: 'bottom-left',
          render: (props) => (
            <Box className='m-3 text-white bg-blue-500'>Hello World</Box>
          ),
        });
      }}
    >
      Show Toast
    </Button>
  );
}

Use a custom id

A custom id can be used to replace the one internal auto-generated toast id. You can use a number or a string.

This is mostly useful when you need to prevent duplication of a specific toast.

Prevent duplicate

To prevent duplicates, you can check if a given toast is active by calling toast.isActive(id) like the snippet below. Or, you can use a custom toastId:

import React from 'react';
import useToast from '@nature-ui/toast';

const Example = () => {
  const toast = useToast();

  const id = 'login-toast';

  const notify = () => {
    if (!toast.isActive(id)) {
      toast({ title: 'Dude! I cannot be duplicated' });
    }
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={notify}>Notify</button>
    </div>
  );
};

Update a toast

When you update a toast, the toast options and the content are inherited but don't worry you can update them.

import React from 'react';
import useToast from '@nature-ui/toast';

const Update = () => {
  const toast = useToast();

  const id = React.useRef(null);

  const notify = () => {
    id.current = toast({
      title: 'Chidori is not available!',
      duration: null,
    });
  };

  const update = () => {
    toast.update(id.current, {
      title: 'Sharingan is all you have!',
      status: 'success',
      duration: 5000,
    });
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={notify}>Notify</button>
      <button onClick={update}>Update</button>
    </div>
  );
};
