import { useToast } from 'react-native-fast-toast'

const Component = () => {
  const toast = useToast()
  
  useEffect(() => {
    toast.show("Hello World")
  }, [])
}

});

Customization

ToastContainer props

There are lots of props to customize your toast or your can use renderToast to implement your own component.

<ToastContainer
    placement="bottom | top"
    duration={5000}
    animationType='slide-in | zoom-in'
    animationDuration={250}
    successColor="green"
    dangerColor="red"
    warningColor="orange"
    normalColor="gray"
    icon={<Icon />}
    successIcon={<SuccessIcon />}
    dangerIcon={<DangerIcon />}
    warningIcon={<WarningIcon />}
    textStyle={{ fontSize: 20 }}
    offset={50}
    renderToast={(toastOptions) => JSX.Element} implement custom toast component.
/>

Custom toast types

You can implement your own custom types or overwrite the existing ones

<ToastContainer
    renderType={{
      custom_type: (toast) => (
        <View style={{padding: 15, backgroundColor: 'grey'}}>
          <Text>{toast.message}</Text>
        </View>
      )
    }}
/>

// You can pass other data to your custom toast using data property in show method.
toast.show("Show custom toast", {data: { title: 'Toast title' }})

FAQ

- How to call toast outside React components?

To call toasts everywhere (even outside of React components like in redux actions), do this in root component of your app (index.js or App.js)

import Toast from "react-native-fast-toast";

export default function App() {
  return (
    <>
      <RestOfYourApp />
      <Toast ref={(ref) => global['toast'] = ref} />
    </>
  );

Now you can call toast.show() everywhere on app. similar to alert.

TypeScript Note: add index.d.ts to your project root.

- How to show toast inside a Modal?

The Modal component is a native view that sits on top of the rest of react-native application. The only way to put something above it is to put something in the modal itself, or alternately to use a JS only implementation of a Modal.

As a workaround you can put toast inside modal like this:

import Toast from "react-native-fast-toast";

export Component = () => {
    const toastRef = useRef();
    return (
        <Modal>
            .....
            <Toast ref={toastRef} />
        </Modal>

}
