# Toasts

Toast notifications are lightweight, non-intrusive alerts that provide timely feedback to users.

Toasts can be customized with different styles, positions, and interactive elements to suit your application's needs.

### Stacking Toasts

Multiple toasts can be stacked in a container, automatically arranging themselves vertically. This pattern is useful when multiple notifications need to be displayed simultaneously.

### Developer Tips & Best Practices

#### Pro Tips for Toast Notifications

- Timing & Auto-dismiss: Use appropriate auto-dismiss timers - 3-5 seconds for success messages, longer for important warnings
- Position Strategy: Place toasts in consistent locations (top-right or bottom-right) to build user expectations
- Content Hierarchy: Use clear, concise messaging with appropriate icons and colors to convey urgency and context
- Stacking Limits: Limit visible toasts to 3-5 maximum to prevent screen clutter and cognitive overload
- Action Integration: Include relevant action buttons for actionable notifications (retry, undo, view details)
- Responsive Behavior: Ensure toasts work well on mobile devices with appropriate sizing and positioning

#### Common Pitfalls to Avoid

- Don't use toasts for critical information that users must see - use modals or inline alerts instead
- Avoid overly complex or lengthy content in toasts - keep messages brief and actionable
- Never auto-dismiss error messages - users need time to read and understand problems
- Don't stack too many toasts simultaneously - implement a queue system for better UX
- Avoid using toasts for form validation errors - use inline validation instead
- Don't forget to handle focus management and screen reader announcements for accessibility

#### JavaScript Integration Best Practices

### Accessibility Guidelines

Ensure toast notifications are accessible to all users by following these best practices:

- Use proper ARIA attributes: role="alert", aria-live="assertive", aria-atomic="true"
- Provide sufficient color contrast for all text and background combinations
- Include descriptive text that works without relying solely on color or icons
- Ensure keyboard navigation works for dismissing and interacting with toasts
- Implement proper focus management when toasts appear and disappear
- Use appropriate timing that allows users to read and understand content
- Provide alternative methods for critical information beyond just toasts
