Toasty-casa NPM

Toasty

A customizable and accessible Toast component. You can easily style it with Tailwind CSS, as components are copied directly into your project. CVA i used for a better customization experience.

Quick Start

This guide uses Next.js for demonstration purposes, but the package works in any project configured with React, TypeScript, and Tailwind.

Create a Next.js Project

Follow these steps to set up a Next.js project with TypeScript and Tailwind:

npx create-next-app@latest

Install toasty-casa

Add the toasty-casa package to your project:

npm install toasty-casa

Initialize toasty-casa

Run the following command to copy the necessary components and types into your project. This command will also update your Tailwind configuration:

npx toasty init

Usage: Add Provider

Wrap your entire application with the ToastProvider. For example, in a Next.js project, update the src/app/layout.tsx file to include the ToastProvider around the children prop:

Ensure to place the ToastProvider inside the <body> tag.

<html lang="en">
  <body className={inter.className}>
    <ToastProvider>{children}</ToastProvider>
  </body>
</html>;

Usage: Push a toast

You can now use the pushToast function provided by the useToast hook. Here’s an example:

"use client";
import useToast from "@/hooks/useToast";

export default function Home() {
  const { pushToast } = useToast();
  return (
    <main>
      <h1>Test</h1>
      <button
        className="bg-white text-black"
        onClick={() => pushToast({ message: "Hello world" })}
      >
        Push Toast
      </button>
    </main>
  );
}

Customization and Flexibility

Our Toast package is designed for maximum flexibility. Because the components are copied directly into your project and not compiled, you can easily modify them as needed. Use Tailwind CSS to quickly adjust styles, and manage variants with CVA for clear and straightforward customization. This direct approach ensures you can tailor every aspect of the toasts to fit your design without hassle.

Accessibility

Keyboard Support

All toast notifications can be closed by hitting the Esc key.

Screen Reader Support

Toast notifications will be announced in a polite manner, along with their intent. This functionality was tested using NVDA screen reader on Windows.
