Toast messages provide brief, temporary feedback to users after they act. They appear as overlaid notifications that stack horizontally and can be dismissed by the user.
Use toasts to provide feedback for these types of responses:
Info: Inform users that a process has started and they may need to wait.
Success: Confirm that an action was completed successfully.
Warning: Alert users to potential problems and suggest preventative measures.
Error: Indicate an issue that prevents task completion and requires action within the current flow.
Toast messages are typically used in direct response to a user's action.
Toast messages offer three modes for controlling display and dismissal:
Dismissible: The most common mode. The toast disappears automatically after 5 seconds, but users can dismiss it sooner. Suitable for general information and success messages.
Pester: This mode also auto-dismisses after 5 seconds, but prevents the user from manually closing the toast. Use this for warnings or notices that require user attention.
Sticky: Sticky toasts remain visible until the user explicitly dismisses them. There is no time limit. This is appropriate for important information or errors that require acknowledgment but shouldn't interrupt the user's workflow.
