From v3 to v4

Glamor has been dropped to switch back to scss due to user's feedback. You can read more about that choice if you take a look at the issues history.

  • Passing glamor rule to className is still working ?.
  • A css file needs to be imported now.
  • Toast are now draggable, you can swipe to close
  • New built-in transition added
  • Playground for contributor
  • You may use glamorous or any other css-in-js library that relies on glamor. (Haven't been fully tested)

Usage

One component to rule them all

The toasts inherit ToastContainer's props. Props defined on toast supersede ToastContainer's props.

  import React, { Component } from 'react';
  import { ToastContainer, toast } from 'react-toastify';
  import 'react-toastify/dist/ReactToastify.css';
  // minified version is also included
  // import 'react-toastify/dist/ReactToastify.min.css';

  class App extends Component {
    notify = () => toast("Wow so easy !");

    render(){
      return (
        <div>
          <button onClick={this.notify}>Notify !</button>
          <ToastContainer />
        </div>
      );
    }
  }

Positioning toast

By default, all the toasts will be positionned on the top right of your browser. If a position is set on a toast, the one defined on ToastContainer will be replaced.

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

For convenience, toast expose a POSITION property to avoid any typo.

 // toast.POSITION.TOP_LEFT, toast.POSITION.TOP_RIGHT, toast.POSITION.TOP_CENTER
 // toast.POSITION.BOTTOM_LEFT,toast.POSITION.BOTTOM_RIGHT, toast.POSITION.BOTTOM_CENTER

  import React, { Component } from 'react';
  import { toast } from 'react-toastify';

  class Position extends Component {
    notify = () => {
    toast("Default Notification !");

    toast.success("Success Notification !", {
      position: toast.POSITION.TOP_CENTER
    });

    toast.error("Error Notification !", {
      position: toast.POSITION.TOP_LEFT
    });
    
    toast.warn("Warning Notification !", {
      position: toast.POSITION.BOTTOM_LEFT
    });

    toast.info("Info Notification !", {
      position: toast.POSITION.BOTTOM_CENTER
    });

    toast("Custom Style Notification with css class!", {
      position: toast.POSITION.BOTTOM_RIGHT,
      className: 'foo-bar'
    });
  };

    render(){
      return <button onClick={this.notify}>Notify</button>;
    }
  }

Set autoclose delay or disable it

  • Set the default delay
  import React from 'react';
  import { ToastContainer } from 'react-toastify';

  // close toast after 8 seconds
  const App = () => (
    <ToastContainer autoClose={8000} />
  );
  • Set the delay per toast for more control
  import React from 'react';
  import { ToastContainer, toast } from 'react-toastify';

  class App extends Component {
    closeAfter15 = () => toast("YOLO", { autoClose: 15000 });

    closeAfter7 = () => toast("7 Kingdoms", { autoClose: 7000 });

    render(){
      return (
        <div>
          <button onClick={this.closeAfter15}>Close after 15 seconds</button>
          <button onClick={this.closeAfter7}>Close after 7 seconds</button>
          <ToastContainer autoClose={8000} />
        </div>
      );
    }
  }
  • Disable it by default
    <ToastContainer autoClose={false} />
  • Disable it per toast
    toast("hello", {
      autoClose: false
    })

Render a component

When you render a component, a closeToast function is passed as a props. That way you can close the toast on user interaction for example.

import React from 'react';
import { ToastContainer, toast } from "react-toastify";

const Msg = ({ closeToast }) => (
  <div>
    Lorem ipsum dolor
    <button>Retry</button>
    <button onClick={closeToast}>Close</button>
  </div>
)

const App = () => (
  <div>
    <button onClick={() => toast(<Msg />)}>Hello ?</button>
    <ToastContainer />
  </div>
);

You can also render a component using a function. More or less like a "render props":

toast(({ closeToast }) => <div>Functional swag ?</div>);

Remove a toast programmatically

An id is returned each time you display a toast, use it to remove a given toast programmatically by calling toast.dismiss(id)

Without args, all the displayed toasts will be removed.

  import React, { Component } from 'react';
  import { toast } from 'react-toastify';

  class Example extends Component {
    toastId = null;

    notify = () => this.toastId = toast("Lorem ipsum dolor");

    dismiss = () =>  toast.dismiss(this.toastId);

    dismissAll = () =>  toast.dismiss();

    render(){
      return (
        <div>
          <button onClick={this.notify}>Notify</button>
          <button onClick={this.dismiss}>Dismiss</button>
          <button onClick={this.dismissAll}>Dismiss All</button>
        </div>
      );
    }
  }

Usage with redux

Pause toast timer when the window loses focus

The default behavior is to pause the toast timer whenever the window loses focus. You can opt-out by setting the pauseOnFocusLoss props to false:

// Opt-out for all toast
<ToastContainer pauseOnFocusLoss={false} />

// Opt-out per toast
toast('Hello', {
  pauseOnFocusLoss: false
})

Use a custom toastId

A custom toastId can be used to replace the one generated. You can use a number or a string.

  import React, { Component } from 'react';
  import { toast } from 'react-toastify';

  class Example extends Component {
    notify = () => {
      toast("I cannot be duplicated !", {
        toastId: 13
      });
    }

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

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, { Component } from 'react';
  import { toast } from 'react-toastify';

  class Example extends Component {
    toastId = null;
    customToastId = 'xxx-yyy';

    notify = () => {
      if (! toast.isActive(this.toastId)) {
        this.toastId = toast("I cannot be duplicated !");
      }

      toast("xxx-yyy cannot be duplicated", {
        toastId: customToastId
      });
    }

    render(){
      return (
        <div>
          <button onClick={this.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.

update-without-transition

Basic example

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { toast } from 'react-toastify';

class Update extends Component {
  toastId = null;

  notify = () => this.toastId = toast("Hello", { autoClose: false });

  update = () => toast.update(this.toastId, { type: toast.TYPE.INFO, autoClose: 5000 });
  
  render(){
      return (
        <div>
          <button onClick={this.notify}>Notify</button>
          <button onClick={this.update}>Update</button>
        </div>
      )
  }
}

Update the content

If you want to change the content it's straightforward as well. You can render any valid element including a react component. Pass your value to a render option as follow:

 // With a string
 toast.update(this.toastId, { 
    render: "New content",
    type: toast.TYPE.INFO,
    autoClose: 5000 
  });
 
// Or with a component
toast.update(this.toastId, { 
    render: <MyComponent />
    type: toast.TYPE.INFO,
    autoClose: 5000 
  });


Apply a transition

By default, when you update a toast, there is no transition applied. If you want to apply a transition, it can be done via the className or the transition option:

update-with-transition

// with css
toast.update(this.toastId, {
  render: "New Content",
  type: toast.TYPE.INFO,
  //Here the magic
  className: 'rotateY animated'
})

// with glamor
toast.update(this.toastId, {
  render: "New Content",
  type: toast.TYPE.INFO,
  //Here the magic
  className: css({
    transform: "rotateY(360deg)",
    transition: "transform 0.6s"
  })
})

// with transition
toast.update(this.toastId, {
  render: "New Content",
  type: toast.TYPE.INFO,
  //Here the magic
  transition: Rotate
})

Reset option or inherit from ToastContainer

If you want to inherit props from the ToastContainer, you can reset an option by passing null.
It's particulary usefull when you remove the closeButton from a toast and you want it back during the update:

class Update extends Component {
  toastId = null;

  notify = () => this.toastId = toast("Hello", { 
      autoClose: false,
      closeButton: false // Remove the closeButton 
    });

  update = () => toast.update(this.toastId, { 
      type: toast.TYPE.INFO,
      autoClose: 5000,
      closeButton: null // The closeButton defined on ToastContainer will be used
    });
  
  render(){
      return (
        <div>
          <button onClick={this.notify}>Notify</button>
          <button onClick={this.update}>Update</button>
        </div>
      )
  }
}

Define callback

You can define two callback on toast. They are really useful when the toast are not used only to display messages.

  • onOpen is called inside componentDidMount
  • onClose is called inside componentWillUnmount
  import React, { Component } from 'react';
  import { toast } from 'react-toastify';

  class Hook extends Component {
    notify = () => toast(<MyComponent foo="bar" />, {
      onOpen: ({ foo }) => window.alert('I counted to infinity once then..'),
      onClose: ({ foo }) => window.alert('I counted to infinity twice')
    });

    render(){
      return <button onClick={this.notify}>Notify</button>;
    }
  }

Listen for change

If you want to know when a toast is displayed or removed, toast expose a onChange method:

toast.onChange( numberOfToastDisplayed => {
  // Do whatever you want
});

Set a custom close button or simply remove it

Override the default one

You can pass a custom close button to the ToastContainer to replace the default one.

⚠️ When you use a custom close button, your button will receive a closeToast function.
You need to call it in order to close the toast.
⚠️

  import React, { Component } from 'react';
  import { toast, ToastContainer } from 'react-toastify';

  const CloseButton = ({ YouCanPassAnyProps, closeToast }) => (
    <i
      className="material-icons"
      onClick={closeToast}
    >
    delete
    </i>
  );

  class CustomClose extends Component {
    notify = () => {
      toast("The close button change when Chuck Norris display a toast");
    };

    render(){
      return (
        <div>
          <button onClick={this.notify}>Notify</button>;
          <ToastContainer closeButton={<CloseButton YouCanPassAnyProps="foo" />} />
        </div>
      );
    }
  }

Define it per toast

  import React, { Component } from 'react';
  import { toast } from 'react-toastify';

  // Let's use the closeButton we defined on the previous example
  class CustomClose extends Component {
    notify = () => {
      toast("The close button change when Chuck Norris display a toast",{
        closeButton: <CloseButton YouCanPassAnyProps="foo" />
      });
    };

    render(){
      return <button onClick={this.notify}>Notify</button>;
    }
  }

Remove it

Sometimes you don't want to display a close button. It can be removed globally or per toast. Pass
false to closeButton props:

  • remove it by default
    <ToastContainer closeButton={false} />
  • remove it per toast
    toast("hello", {
      closeButton: false
    })

Add an undo option to a toast like google drive

See it in action:

Edit l2qkywz7xl

const ToastUndo = ({ id, undo, closeToast }) => {
  function handleClick(){
    undo(id);
    closeToast();
  }

  return (
    <div>
      <h3>
        Row Deleted <button onClick={handleClick}>UNDO</button>
      </h3>
    </div>
  );
}

class App extends Component {
  state = {
    collection: data,
    // Buffer
    toRemove: []
  };

  // Remove the row id from the buffer
  undo = id => {
    this.setState({
      toRemove: this.state.toRemove.filter(v => v !== id)
    });
  }

  // Remove definetly
  cleanCollection = () => this.setState({
    // Return element which are not included in toRemove
    collection: this.state.collection.filter(v => !this.state.toRemove.includes(v.id)),
    //Cleanup the buffer
    toRemove: []
  });

   // Remove row from render process
   // then display the toast with undo action available
  removeRow = e => {
    const id = e.target.dataset.rowId;
    this.setState({
      toRemove: [...this.state.toRemove, id]
    });
    toast(<ToastUndo undo={this.undo} id={id} />, {
      // hook will be called whent the component unmount
      onClose: this.cleanCollection
    });
  };

  renderRows() {
    const { collection, toRemove } = this.state;

    // Render all the element wich are not present in toRemove
    // Im using data-attribute to grab the row id
    return collection.filter(v => !toRemove.includes(v.id)).map(v => (
      <tr key={v.id}>
        <td>{v.firstName}</td>
        <td>{v.lastName}</td>
        <td>{v.email}</td>
        <td>
          <button onClick={this.removeRow} data-row-id={v.id}>
            Delete
          </button>
        </td>
      </tr>
    ));
  }

  render() {
    // Dont close the toast on click
    return (
      <div style={styles}>
        <table>
        <tbody>
          <tr>
            <th>name</th>
            <th>firstname</th>
            <th>gender</th>
            <th />
          </tr>
          {this.renderRows()}
          </tbody>
        </table>
        <ToastContainer closeOnClick={false} />
      </div>
    );
  }
}

Replace the default transition

There is 4 built-in transition provided:

Bounce
Slide
Zoom
Flip

Bounce is used by default but you can replace it by your own transition or by one of the list above:

import { Slide, Zoom, Flip, Bounce } from 'react-toastify';

  <ToastContainer
    transition={Slide}
  />
//...
  <ToastContainer
    transition={YourCustomTransition}
  />
    

You get the idea...

Define a custom enter and exit transition

The toast relies on react-transition-group for the enter and exit transition. Any transition built with react-transition-group should work !

toastify_custom_trans

I'll use the zoom animation from animate.css. Of course, you could create your own animation.

/* style.css*/
@keyframes zoomIn {
  from {
    opacity: 0;
    transform: scale3d(.3, .3, .3);
  }

  50% {
    opacity: 1;
  }
}

.zoomIn {
  animation-name: zoomIn;
}

@keyframes zoomOut {
  from {
    opacity: 1;
  }

  50% {
    opacity: 0;
    transform: scale3d(.3, .3, .3);
  }

  to {
    opacity: 0;
  }
}

.zoomOut {
  animation-name: zoomOut;
}

/* Not needed with the cssTransition helper */

.animate {
  animation-duration: 800ms;
}

Ease your life with the cssTransition helper

The easiest way to roll your own transition is by using the cssTransition helper. Doing so you don't need to deal with react-transition-group. You only need to provide the enter and the exit class name, the transition duration is set
to 750ms by default but it can be overridden:

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { toast, cssTransition } from 'react-toastify';
import './style.css';

const Zoom = cssTransition({
  enter: 'zoomIn',
  exit: 'zoomOut',
  // default to 750ms, can be omitted
  duration = 750,
});

class App extends Component {
  notify = () => {
    toast("ZoomIn and ZoomOut", {
      transition: Zoom,
      autoClose: 5000
    });
  };

  render(){
    return <button onClick={this.notify}>Notify</button>;
  }
}
Different duration for enter and exit

If you want the transition duration to be different between the enter and exit transition pass an array:

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { toast, cssTransition } from 'react-toastify';
import './style.css';

const Zoom = cssTransition({
  enter: 'zoomIn',
  exit: 'zoomOut',
  duration: [500, 800]
});

class App extends Component {
  notify = () => {
    toast("ZoomIn and ZoomOut", {
      transition: Zoom,
      autoClose: 5000
    });
  };

  render(){
    return <button onClick={this.notify}>Notify</button>;
  }
}
Handle transition based on the toast position

Some transitions are based on the toast position. This is the case for the default one. If you pass appendPosition to the cssTransition helper as shown below, the current position will be appended to the enter and exit class name:

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { toast, cssTransition } from 'react-toastify';
import './style.css';

const Zoom = cssTransition({
  // zoomIn will become zoomIn--top-right or zoomIn--top-left and so on
  enter: 'zoomIn',
  // zoomIn will become zoomOut--top-right or zoomOut--top-left and so on
  exit: 'zoomOut',
  // default to false
  appendPosition: true
});

class App extends Component {
  notify = () => {
    toast("ZoomIn and ZoomOut", {
      transition: Zoom,
      autoClose: 5000
    });
  };

  render(){
    return <button onClick={this.notify}>Notify</button>;
  }
}

Create a transition from scratch

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { toast } from 'react-toastify';
import Transition from 'react-transition-group/Transition';
import './style.css';

const ZoomInAndOut = ({ children, position, ...props }) => (
  <Transition
    {...props}
    {/* Same as the animation duration */}
    timeout={800}
    onEnter={ node => node.classList.add('zoomIn', 'animate')}
    onExit={node => {
      node.classList.remove('zoomIn', 'animate');
      node.classList.add('zoomOut', 'animate');
    }}
  >
    {children}
  </Transition>
);

class App extends Component {
  notify = () => {
    toast("ZoomIn and ZoomOut", {
      transition: ZoomInAndOut,
      autoClose: 5000
    });
  };

  render(){
    return <button onClick={this.notify}>Notify</button>;
  }
}

Swipe to remove

You can swipe the toast to remove it:

drag

Define the width percentage to remove the toast

You need to drag 80% of the toast width to remove it. This can be changed to fit your need:

  • Replace the default one:
<ToastContainer draggablePercent={60}>
  • Replace per toast:
toast('Hello', {
  draggablePercent: 60
});

Disable it

  • Disable by default for all toast:
<ToastContainer draggable={false}>
  • Disable per toast:
toast('Hello', {
  draggable: false
});

Le style

style with css classes

toast("Custom style",{
  className: 'black-background',
  bodyClassName: "grow-font-size",
  progressClassName: 'fancy-progress-bar' 
});

style with glamor

import { css } from 'glamor';

toast("Custom style",{
  className: css({
    background: 'black'
  }),
  bodyClassName: css({
    fontSize: '60px'
  }),
  progressClassName: css({
    background: "repeating-radial-gradient(circle at center, red 0, blue, green 30px)"
  })
});

Define style globally

<ToastContainer
  className='toast-container'
  toastClassName="dark-toast"
  progressClassName={css({
    height: "2px"
  })}
/>

Right to left support

Your app need to support rtl content? Set the rtl props to true:

  render(){
    return(
      {/*Component*/}
      <ToastContainer rtl />
      {/*Component*/}
    );
  }

Mobile

On mobile the toast will take all the available width.
