How to use

There are mainly two ways to use vue3-toaster package.

• Register as plugin
• Direct import

Register as plugin

in vue

//main.ts/.js
import ToastPlugin from "vue3-toaster";
createApp(App)
  .use(ToastPlugin, {
    closable: false,
    //.. other options
  })
  .mount("#app");

<!-- App.vue -->
<template>
  <div>
    <!-- you don't need to import the ToastContainer component, it's auto imported in plugin -->
    <ToastContainer />
    <!--  Other stuffs -->
  </div>
</template>

in nuxt

import ToastPlugin from "vue3-toaster";
export default defineNuxtPlugin((_nuxtApp) => {
  _nuxtApp.vueApp.use(ToastPlugin, {
    closable: false,
    pauseOnHover: false,
    closeOnDoubleClick: true,
    // other options ToastContainerConfig
  });
});

<!-- layouts/default.vue -->
<template>
  <div>
    <!-- you don't need to import the ToastContainer component, it's auto imported in plugin -->
    <ToastContainer />
    <slot />
    <!--  Other stuffs -->
  </div>
</template>

Direct import

Vue.js project

<!-- App.vue -->
<script lang="ts" setup>
  import { ToastContainer, ToastContainerConfig } from "vue3-toaster";
  const defaultOptions: ToastContainerConfig = {
    pauseOnHover: true,
    closable: true,
    closeOnDoubleClick: false,
    theme: {
      //
    },
  };
</script>
<template>
  <div>
    <ToastContainer v-bind="defaultOptions" />
    <!--  Other stuffs -->
  </div>
</template>

<!-- MyComponent.vue -->
<script lang="ts" setup>
  import { useToaster } from "vue3-toaster";
  function toast() {
    useToaster().add({
      type:'info',
      title:'Congratulations'
      text:'You have successfully completed.'
      });
    useToaster().success('this is My success toaster');
  }
</script>
<template>
  <div>
    <!--  Your component templated here -->
  </div>
</template>

CodeSandBox Composition Api example

Nuxt.js Project

for Nuxt js project code would be same, you just need to put in your layouts. eg

<!-- layouts/default.vue -->
<script lang="ts" setup>
  import {
    ToastContainer,
    ToastContainerConfig,
    useToasterConfig,
  } from "vue3-toaster";
  const defaultOptions: ToastContainerConfig = {
    pauseOnHover: true,
    closable: true,
    closeOnDoubleClick: false,
    theme: {
      //
    },
  };
  useToasterConfig().update(defaultOptions);
</script>
<template>
  <div>
    <!-- you don't need to import the ToastContainer component, it's auto imported in plugin -->
    <ToastContainer />
    <slot />
    <!--  Other stuffs -->
  </div>
</template>

Please Note:- <ToastContainer v-bind="defaultOptions"/> and useToasterConfig().update(defaultOptions); are alternative of each other it's recommended to use only one of them.

How to fire toast (working example)

Using Composable (Composition API)

import { useToaster } from "vue3-toaster";
// let for some use case I want only this toast message to be cleared after some event executed
function performSomeTask() {
  const ToasterId = useToaster().add({
    title: "Server Error",
    type: "error",
    text: "Please try again after some time.",
  });
  // in next try we got success response so we don't want it to be visible so we will remove it.
  useToaster().remove(ToasterId);
}

Using inject method (if registerd as a plugin in (Composition API))

import { useToaster } from "vue3-toaster";
const toaster = inject("$toaster");
const ToasterId = toaster.add({
  title: Congratulations,
  type: success,
  text: "You have Done it.",
});

Using this (if registerd as a plugin (Option API))

export default {
  methods: {
    fireToast() {
      const ToasterId = this.$toaster.add({
        title: Congratulations,
        type: success,
        text: "You have Done it.",
      });
    },
  },
};

CodeSandBox Option Api example

• Please Note this.$toaster only works in Option API if you have registered as Plugin
