Quick API tour

In order to use toast box, you need to define component <ToastBox/> in root file which will listen for events(success,danger,etc), for example i.e. App.js.

Then when you want to show error or success message, just use {toast} method available from package. toast.success('Yayy')

ToastBox

import ToastBox from "react-toastbox";
.
.
.
<ToastBox timerExpires={5000} position="top-right" pauseOnHover={true} intent="success"/>

{ toast }

import { toast } from "react-toastbox";
.
.
.
handleClick = () => {
  /* Then when you want to show toast, call method and pass argument as text to display*/
  toast.success('Toast it up');
}

Usage

• Use <ToastBox /> once in your app which listens to events such as success,error,etc... So in your root component(mainly App.js or main.js), register this component with suitable props acc. to your needs

Parent (App.js)

import React from "react";
import ToastBox from "react-toastbox";

/* Your root app logic here */
.
.
.
 <ToastBox
    timerExpires={5000}
    position="top-right"
    pauseOnHover={true}
  />

• Then you can call any methods such as success,error,etc... from your children. The <ToastBox /> will listen to event and propagate changes.

Child(childToRender.js)

import React from "react";
import { toast } from "react-toastbox";

function Child() {
  return (
    <div className="App">
      <button
        onClick={() => {
          /* Then when you want to show toast, call method and pass argument as text to display*/
          toast.success("Toast it up");
        }}
      >
        Show me toast
      </button>
    </div>
  );
}
export default Child;

In Nutshell,

import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import ToastBox, { toast } from "react-toastbox";
import "./styles.css";

function App() {
  return (
    <div className="App">
      {/* First define toastbox component which will listen to events*/}
      <ToastBox
        timerExpires={5000}
        position="top-right"
        pauseOnHover={true}
        intent="success"
      />
      <button
        onClick={() => {
          /* Then when you want to show toast, call method and pass argument as text to display*/
          toast.success("Toast it up");
        }}
      >
        Show me toast
      </button>
    </div>
  );
}

const rootElement = document.getElementById("root");
ReactDOM.render(<App />, rootElement);
