react-native-toast-message

Animated toast message component for React Native.

• Imperative API
• Keyboard aware
• Flexible config

Install

yarn add @mitesh-v2stech/react-native-toast-message

Usage

Render the Toast component in your app entry file (along with everything that might be rendered there) and set a ref to it.

// App.jsx
import Toast from '@mitesh-v2stech/react-native-toast-message';

function App(props) {
  return (
    <>
      {/* ... */}
      <Toast ref={(ref) => Toast.setRef(ref)} />
    </>
  );
}

export default App;

Then use it anywhere in your app (even outside React components), by calling any Toast method directly:

import Toast from '@mitesh-v2stech/react-native-toast-message';

function SomeComponent() {
  React.useEffect(() => {
    Toast.show({
      title: 'Hello',
      message: 'This is some something 👋'
    });
  }, []);

  return <View />;
}

API

show(options = {})

When calling the show method, you can use the following options to suit your needs. Everything is optional, unless specified otherwise.

The usage of | below, means that only one of the values show should be used. If only one value is shown, that's the default.

Toast.show({
  type: 'success | error | info | dialog',
  position: 'top | bottom',
  title: 'Hello',
  message: 'This is some something 👋',
  visibilityTime: 4000,
  autoHide: true,
  topOffset: 30,
  bottomOffset: 40,
  onShow: () => {},
  onHide: () => {}, // called when Toast hides (if `autoHide` was set to `true`)
  onPress: () => {},
  onOk: () => {},
  onCancel: () => {},
  props: {} // any custom props passed to the Toast component
});

Toast.show({
  type: 'dialog', 
  title: 'Hello',
  message: 'This is some something 👋',
  showLoadingIcon: false,
  content: (
    <View
      style={{

      }}
    >
      { /* Any component */ }
    </View>
  ),
  visibilityTime: 4000,
  autoHide: true, 
  onShow: () => {},
  onHide: () => {},  
  onPress: () => {},
  onOk: () => {},
  onCancel: () => {}, 
});

hide()

Toast.hide();

ok()

Toast.ok();

cancel()

Toast.cancel();

props

Props that can be set on the Toast instance. They act as defaults for all Toasts that are shown.

const props = {
  type: 'success | error | info | dialog',
  position: 'top' | 'bottom',
  visibilityTime: Number,
  autoHide: Boolean,
  topOffset: Number,
  bottomOffset: Number,
  keyboardOffset: Number,
  config: Object,
  style: ViewStyle,
  height: Number,
  swipeable: Boolean, // Disable Swipe Gestures

  // for dialog type
  content: Component, // Replace title and message with itself
  leadingIcon: Component, 
  showLoadingIcon: Boolean,
};

Default Animated.View styles can be found in styles.js. They can be extended using the style prop.

Customize layout

If you want to add custom types - or overwrite the existing ones - you can add a config prop when rendering the Toast in your app root.

You can either use the default BaseToast style and adjust its layout, or create Toast layouts from scratch.

// App.jsx
import Toast, { BaseToast }  from 'react-native-toast-message';

const toastConfig = {
  /* 
    overwrite 'success' type, 
    modifying the existing `BaseToast` component
  */
  success: ({ title, props, ...rest }) => (
    <BaseToast
      {...rest}
      style={{ borderLeftColor: 'pink' }}
      contentContainerStyle={{ paddingHorizontal: 15 }}
      titleStyle={{
        fontSize: 15,
        fontWeight: '400'
      }}
      title={title}
      message={props.uuid}
    />
  ),
  
  /* 
    or create a completely new type - `my_custom_type`,
    building the layout from scratch
  */
  my_custom_type: ({ title, props, ...rest }) => (
    <View style={{ height: 60, width: '100%', backgroundColor: 'tomato' }}>
      <Text>{title}</Text>
    </View>
  )
};

function App(props) {
  // pass `toastConfig` to the Toast instance
  return (
    <>
      <Toast config={toastConfig} ref={(ref) => Toast.setRef(ref)} />
    </>
  );
}

export default App;

Then just use the library as before

Toast.show({
  type: 'my_custom_type',
  props: { uuid: 'bba1a7d0-6ab2-4a0a-a76e-ebbe05ae6d70' }
});

Available props on BaseToast:

const baseToastProps = {
  leadingIcon: ImageSource,
  trailingIcon: ImageSource,
  title: String,
  message: String,
  onPress: Function,
  onLeadingIconPress: Function,
  onTrailingIconPress: Function,
  style: ViewStyle,
  leadingIconContainerStyle: ViewStyle,
  trailingIconContainerStyle: ViewStyle,
  leadingIconStyle: ViewStyle,
  trailingIconStyle: ViewStyle,
  contentContainerStyle: ViewStyle,
  titleStyle: ViewStyle,
  messageStyle: ViewStyle,
  activeOpacity: Number, 
};

FAQ

How to render the Toast when using react-navigation?

To have the toast visible on top of the navigation View hierarchy, simply render it inside the NavigationContainer.

import Toast from '@mitesh-v2stech/react-native-toast-message'
import { NavigationContainer } from '@react-navigation/native';

export default function App() {
  return (
    <NavigationContainer>
      {...}
      <Toast ref={(ref) => Toast.setRef(ref)} />
    </NavigationContainer>
  );
}

How to mock the library for testing with jest?

jest.mock('react-native-toast-message', () => ({
  show: jest.fn(),
  hide: jest.fn()
}));

How to show the Toast inside a Modal?

When a Modal is visible, the Toast gets rendered behind it. This is due to the way Modal is implemented. As a workaround, you can have 2 separate Toast instances: one inside the Modal (let's call it a "modal toast") and a normal one outside.

For the one outside, set the ref on the Toast object (like usual)

<Toast ref={ref => Toast.setRef(ref) />

And for the "modal toast", use another ref

function ScreenWithModal() {
  const modalToastRef = React.useRef();

  return (
    <Modal>
      <Toast ref={modalToastRef} />
    </Modal>
  );
}

Then, when you want to show the "modal toast", call it using modalToastRef.current.show().
