Installation

$ yarn add vue-toastification
$ npm install --save vue-toastification

Usage

Plugin registration

Add it as a Vue plugin:

import Vue from "vue";
import Toast from "vue-toastification";
// Import the CSS or use your own!
import "vue-toastification/dist/index.css";

const options = {
    // You can set your default options here
};


Vue.use(Toast, options);

And then just call it in your components with

this.$toast("I'm a toast!");

// Or with options
this.$toast("My toast content", {
    timeout: 2000
});
// These options will override the options defined in the "Vue.use" plugin registration for this specific toast

Or reference in your Vuex store with

this._vm.$toast("I'm a toast!");

// Or with import
import Vue from "vue";

Vue.$toast("My toast content", {
    timeout: 2000
});

Nuxt registration

Vue Toastification comes with full Nuxt and Nuxt Typescript support.

Note: As a client library, Vue Toastification does not support SSR, so the object $toast will not be available on the server, only on the client.

To use it, register it as a Nuxt module:

// nuxt.config.js

export default {
  // ...
  modules: [
    // With default plugin options
    "vue-toastification/nuxt",

    // You can also pass plugin options
    ["vue-toastification/nuxt", {
      timeout: 1000,
      draggable: false
    }]
  ],

  // Or pass options through the "toast" key
  toast: {
    timeout: 2000,
    closeOnClick: false
  }
  // ...
}

If you are using Typescript with Nuxt, you may need to add "vue-toastification/nuxt" to your external types list to fully load them. e.g.:

// tsconfig.json

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "types": [
      "vue-toastification/nuxt"
    ]
  }
}

Injecting the Toast CSS

By default, when you register the module within Nuxt it automatically injects the CSS required to display the toasts using the default vue-toastification/dist/index.css file.

If you have your own CSS file, you can instruct the module to inject it instead by providing its absolute path through the cssFile option. You can also disable CSS injection by setting cssFile: false:

// nuxt.config.js

export default {
  // ...
  modules: [
    "vue-toastification/nuxt",
  ],

  toast: {
    // Use your own CSS file
    cssFile: "path/to/your/file.scss",
    // Or disable CSS injection
    cssFile: false
  }
  // ...
}

If your CSS file is actually an SCSS or SASS file, just make sure that you have the correct loaders installed. See Nuxt docs on that.

Positioning the Toast

By default, the toasts will be displayed at the top right corner of your screen, but you can set it manually using the position option.

You can use the type definitions or one of the allowed values: top-right, top-center, top-left, bottom-right, bottom-center, bottom-left.

import Toast, { POSITION } from "vue-toastification";

Vue.use(Toast, {
    // Setting the global default position
    position: POSITION.TOP_LEFT
});


// Or set it per toast
this.$toast("I'm a toast", { position: POSITION.BOTTOM_LEFT });

Toast types

Depending on the context, you may want to use toasts of different colors. You can easily do that by setting the type of toast to be displayed.

this.$toast("Default toast");
this.$toast.info("Info toast");
this.$toast.success("Success toast");
this.$toast.error("Error toast");
this.$toast.warning("Warning toast");

// You can also set the type programmatically when calling the default toast
import { TYPE } from "vue-toastification";

this.$toast("Also a success toast", {
    type: TYPE.SUCCESS  // or "success", "error", "default", "info" and "warning"
});

Setting the type only works when using this.$toast, it won't work when registering the plugin with Vue.use.

Setting the toast timeout

You can set for how long the toast will remain on the screen (in milliseconds) using the timeout option or disable it altogether by setting it to false

// 1 second
this.$toast("Quick toast", { timeout: 1000 });

// Or make the toast permanent until manually closed
this.$toast("Persistent toast", { timeout: false })

// Or set it when registering the plugin
Vue.use(Toast, { timeout: 2000 });

Using a custom component

Passing strings as the toast content is not enough? You can render anything inside the toast using custom components! Vue Toastification accepts both Vue Components and JSX templates as parameters.

When using custom components, the prop toastId containing the toast ID is always passed by default. Also, an event listener for close-toast is attached, so you can close the toast programmatically by emitting it from inside the component.

See an example with custom components in action:

Render a component

To use a Single File Component as content just pass it to the toast:

import MyComponent from "./MyComponent.vue";

this.$toast(MyComponent);

Close the toast using a custom component

When using custom components it is also possible to close the toast from within.

To do that, just emit the close-toast event

// MyComponent.vue

<template>
    <button @click="$emit('close-toast')">Close Toast</button>
</template>


// OtherFile.vue
import MyComponent from "./MyComponent.vue";


// This toast will be closed when the button inside it is clicked
this.$toast(MyComponent);

Render a JSX component

Sometimes you won't want to create a whole component just for a toast. In those cases, you can pass a JSX template to the Toast for it to render as a component

Note: Read this to learn how to enable JSX inside of Vue

const myJSX = (
    <div>
        <h1>My Title</h1>
        <span>My text</span>
    </div>
);

// Vue Toastification will generate the appropriate render function automatically.
this.$toast(myJSX);

Render a component with props and events

Usually, it is not enough to just render a simple component and you'll need to handle events or pass props. You can do that too!

Just pass the content in the format

{
    component: Component,
    props:  {
        propName: propValue  // Optional
    },
    listeners: {
        eventName: eventHandler  // Optional
    }
}

Props will be passed to the created component and the event listeners will be attached to it as well.

Note: Props passed are not reactive

const content = {
    // Your component or JSX template
    component: MyComponent,

    // Props are just regular props, but these won't be reactive
    props: {
        myProp: "abc",
        otherProp: 123
    },

    // Listeners will listen to and execute on event emission
    listeners: {
        click: () => console.log("Clicked!"),
        myEvent: myEventHandler
    }
};


this.$toast(content);

Dismiss toasts programmatically

When a toast is created, an ID is assigned to it. You can use it later to programmatically dismiss the toast.

You can also choose a custom ID (String or Number) for the toast during its creation.

// Get the toast ID on creation
const toastId = this.$toast("my toast");

// Dismiss it later
this.$toast.dismiss(toastId);

// Pass your custom ID to the toast
this.$toast("my other toast", { id: "my id" });
this.$toast.dismiss("my id");

Update toasts programmatically

You can update toasts contents and props programmatically using its ID.

The method signature is $toast.update(id, { content, options }, create) with content, options and create being optional. Updates override previous values.

create is a boolean, false by default. If true, a toast will be created if no matching toast with the id is found.

// Get the toast ID on creation
const toastId = this.$toast("Loading...");

// Update it later
this.$toast.update(toastId, { content: "Loaded!" });

// Pass your custom ID to the toast
this.$toast("my other toast", { id: "my id", timeout: false });
this.$toast.update("my id", { content: "Finished!", options: { timeout: 5000 } });

Note: The remaining timeout of the toast will be carried on updates. To reset the timeout, simply pass a timeout option during the update. It can be the same as the one set during the toast creation.

Clear all toasts

You can also dismiss all toasts at once using clear.

this.$toast("my toast A");
this.$toast("my toast B");
this.$toast("my toast C");

// Dismiss all toasts
this.$toast.clear();

Styling

There are two ways to style your toast components. You can either add custom classes to the toast or containers and modify them using those or you can override the actual toast's SCSS when importing them.

Custom toast classes

this.$toast("my toast", {
    // For the actual toast, including different toast types:
    toastClassName: "my-custom-toast-class",

    // For the toast body when using strings or a custom component as content
    bodyClassName: ["custom-class-1", "custom-class-2"]
});

<style>
/* When setting CSS, remember that priority increases with specificity, so don't forget to select the exisiting classes as well */

    .Vue-Toastification__toast--default.my-custom-toast-class {
        background-color: red;
    }

    /* Applied to the toast body when using regular strings as content */
    .Vue-Toastification__toast-body.custom-class-1 {
        font-size: 30px;
    }

    /* Applied to a wrapper div when using a custom component as content */
    .Vue-Toastification__toast-component-body.custom-class-2 {
        width: 100%;
    }
</style>

These can also be defined when registering the vue plugin.

Note: bodyClassNames applied to toasts that use a custom component are not applied to the custom component itself. Instead, they are applied to a div that wraps the custom component.

Custom toast container classes

You can also add custom classes to the toast's containers. Keep in mind that here containers refer to the 6 divs that contain the toasts in the 6 possible toast positions (top-right, top-left, etc).

These classes can be defined during plugin initialization.

Vue.use(Toast, {
    // Can be either a string or an array of strings
    containerClassName: "my-container-class",
});

<style>
/* When setting CSS, remember that priority increases with specificity, so don't forget to select the exisiting classes as well */

    /* This will only affect the top-right container */
    .Vue-Toastification__container.top-right.my-container-class{
        top: 10em;
    }

    /* This will affect all 6 containers */
    .Vue-Toastification__container.my-container-class{
        position: relative;
    }
</style>

Override SCSS variables

There is a set of pre defined variables that you can override to change some basic styling.

If you have an SCSS loader in your project, simply create a file overriding the defaults

// yourMainScssFile.scss

// Override the variables or import a file that overrides them
$vt-color-success: white;
$vt-text-color-success: #000;

// Import the regular Vue Toastification stylesheets (or create your own)
@import "vue-toastification/src/scss/_variables";
@import "vue-toastification/src/scss/_toastContainer";
@import "vue-toastification/src/scss/_toast";
@import "vue-toastification/src/scss/_closeButton";
@import "vue-toastification/src/scss/_progressBar";
@import "vue-toastification/src/scss/_icon";
@import "vue-toastification/src/scss/animations/_bounce";

Then you import it when registering the plugin

import Vue from "vue";
import Toast from "vue-toastification";

// The magic is here
import "./yourMainScssFile.scss";

Vue.use(Toast);

Transitions

Vue Toastification comes with built-in transitions, but you can also customize your own.

Default Usage using the built-in bounce transition:

Vue.use(Toast, {
  transition: "Vue-Toastification__bounce",
  maxToasts: 20,
  newestOnTop: true
});

Some of the currently available built-in transitions are:

Bounce (default): Set the transition property to "Vue-Toastification__bounce"
Fade-In / Out: Set the transition property to "Vue-Toastification__fade"
Slide-In / Out (Blurred): Set the transition property to "Vue-Toastification__slideBlurred" However, new ones may be added so be sure to check the live demo page for the updated list.

Custom transitions

When registering the plugin you can use your custom transitions as the toasts' transitions. You can use both named transitions or the transition classes separately.

Vue Toastification uses Vue's built-in transition-group components, so read how they work before creating your own.

Note: You only need to implement the enter-active, leave-active and move transition classes.

We'll use the following transition in our examples:

@keyframes fadeIn {
  from {
    opacity: 0;
  }
  to {
    opacity: 1;
  }
}
@keyframes fadeOut {
  from {
    opacity: 1;
  }
  to {
    opacity: 0;
  }
}
.fade-enter-active {
  animation-name: fadeIn;
}
.fade-leave-active {
  animation-name: fadeOut;
}
.fade-move {
  transition-timing-function: ease-in-out;
  transition-property: all;
  transition-duration: 400ms;
}

Named transitions

To setup named transitions just pass the transition name.

Using the transition defined above, we can use it like so:

Vue.use(Toast, {
    transition: "fade"
});

Transition classes

You can also specify which entering, leaving and moving transitions to use. Please note that if you use custom transition classes you'll need to specify all 3 classes for it to work. You can, however, use Vue Toastification's default "bounce" transition to fill the gaps. Its classes are Vue-Toastification__bounce-enter-active, Vue-Toastification__bounce-leave-active and Vue-Toastification__bounce-move.

Example using a mix of fade and bounce transitions:

Vue.use(Toast, {
    transition: {
        enter: "fade-enter-active",
        leave: "Vue-Toastification__bounce-leave-active",
        move: "fade-move"
    }
});

Transition durations

You can change transition timings with the transitionDuration option.

It can either be a number representing the transition duration for both enter and leave transitions, or you can specify both separately.

// Set both entering and leaving transitions to 500 ms
Vue.use(Toast, {
    transitionDuration: 500
});

// Set entering to 100 and leaving to 700
Vue.use(Toast, {
    transitionDuration: {
      enter: 100,
      leave: 700
    }
});

Toast Icons

By default, all toasts will come with a little icon to the left representing what the message is about. These are fully customizable as you'll see.

Disabling icons

You can entirely disable the icon from the toast by setting icon: false when either registering the plugin or creating toasts. Without the icon, the toast's content will fill its place and appear closer to the edge.

// Disable every toast's icon by default
Vue.use(Toast, {
    icon: false
});

// Disable icons per toast
this.$toast('No icon!', { icon: false });

Using custom icons

You can also use custom icons with the icon option. To do so, you'll probably need to install these icons in your app with an icon library, such as FontAwesome or Material Icons.

You can also install a Vue icon library with custom components, such as Vue FontAwesome.

Using them varies between icon libraries. You can either override icon classes with icon: "my-icon-class", pass a custom component / JSX, or you can set up more complex icon systems by passing an object. Let's look at the options with some examples:

// Using Font Awesome icons
this.$toast('Icons are awesome!', { icon: 'fas fa-rocket' });

// Using Material Icons
this.$toast('Material icons!', {
  icon: {
    iconClass: 'material-icons',  // Optional
    iconChildren: 'check_circle', // Optional
    iconTag: 'span'               // Optional
  }
});

As you can see, we can either just pass a string or define classes, children, and tags for our icons.

When you just pass a string, for example fas fa-rocket, the rendered component will look like:

<i class="fas fa-rocket"></i>

If your icon library supports that, then you're good to go!

Other libraries require you to define icons with ligatures. To support that, Vue Toastification allows you to construct your icon component through some options: iconClass, iconChildren and iconTag.

Taking the Material Icon example from above, the rendered component would look like:

<span class="material-icons">check_circle</span>

Both examples will have an extra class, Vue-Toastification__icon. You can see what it does here or you can override it with your CSS classes.

Close Button

You can modify the toast close buttons in 3 ways:

Hide it
Use a custom component instead of the standard one
Add extra classes to it

Hiding the close button

To hide it, simply set closeButton to false when calling the toast or setting up the plugin

this.$toast('No close button', {
  closeButton: false
});

Only show the close button on hover

You can also hide the close button unless the toast is being hovered. To do so, set showCloseButtonOnHover to true when calling the toast or setting up the plugin

this.$toast('No close button', {
  showCloseButtonOnHover: true
});

Custom close button component

You can also use custom components as close buttons. It accepts Single File Components, JSX and tag names:

this.$toast('With a custom close component', {
  closeButton: MyComponent
});

Custom close button classes

The close button can be customized with custom classes. These can be either a single string or an array of strings

this.$toast('With custom classes', {
  closeButtonClassName: "my-button-class"
});

Updating default options

Some options are only available when registering the plugin, like transition, maxToasts and others. If you need to update those options in runtime, there is a method you can call to update the default options:

const update = {
    transition: "my-transition"
};

this.$toast.updateDefaults(update);

Note: updateDefaults will do a shallow update on your default options.

You can use updateDefaults to update any of the default API options, but be careful as they are updated globally, so all new toasts will share the new defaults.

Custom toast filters

Some applications require custom logic to select which toasts to display and how to display them. To solve this issue, Vue Toastification provides you with two callback functions that give you fine control of your toasts. These are filterBeforeCreate and filterToasts.

`filterBeforeCreate`

Called just before toast creation, filterBeforeCreate allows you to edit toast props in runtime or discard toasts entirely.

It takes two parameters:

The new toast's props
A list of existing toasts

It must return the modified toast props, or false to discard the toast.

Example implementation of a preventDuplicates feature, which prevents toasts of the same type from appearing simultaneously:

// App.js

// Prevents toasts of the same type from appearing simultaneously, discarding duplicates
const filterBeforeCreate = (toast, toasts) => {
  if (toasts.filter(t => t.type === toast.type).length !== 0) {
    // Returning false discards the toast
    return false;
  }
  // You can modify the toast if you want
  return toast;
}

Vue.use(Toast, { filterBeforeCreate });

`filterToasts`

This callback enables you to filter created toasts from being rendered. It differs from filterBeforeCreate by allowing you to enqueue toasts, as opposed to the former, which allows you to discard them.

It takes the list of created toasts and must return a list of toasts to be rendered. Filtered toasts may be rendered later on.

Another example of preventDuplicates feature that enqueues toasts instead of discarding them:

// App.js

// Enqueues toasts of the same type, preventing duplicates
const filterToasts = (toasts) => {
  // Keep track of existing types
  const types = {};
  return toasts.reduce((aggToasts, toast) => {
    // Check if type was not seen before
    if (!types[toast.type]) {
      aggToasts.push(toast);
      types[toast.type] = true;
    }
    return aggToasts;
  }, []);
}

Vue.use(Toast, { filterToasts });
