Usage

Setup

The Toaster component must be added once to your page, usually in a common layout file shared between pages so you can trigger toasts from anywhere.

---
import { Toaster } from "@/components/starwind/toast";
---

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <!-- ... -->
  </head>
  <body>
    <!-- navigation -->
    <main>
      <!-- content -->
    </main>
    <Toaster position="bottom-right" />
  </body>
</html>

Basic Usage

Toasts are created using the toast function. Import it in a <script> tag and call it to show notifications.

<Button id="show-toast">Show Toast</Button>

<script>
  import { toast } from "@/components/starwind/toast";

  document.getElementById("show-toast")?.addEventListener("click", () => {
    toast("Hello world!");
  });
</script>

Variants

The toast system supports multiple variants for different message types.

---
import { Button } from "@/components/starwind/button";
---

<div class="flex flex-wrap gap-2">
  <Button variant="outline" id="toast-default">Default</Button>
  <Button variant="outline" id="toast-success">Success</Button>
  <Button variant="outline" id="toast-error">Error</Button>
  <Button variant="outline" id="toast-warning">Warning</Button>
  <Button variant="outline" id="toast-info">Info</Button>
  <Button variant="outline" id="toast-loading">Loading</Button>
</div>

<script>
  import { toast } from "@/components/starwind/toast";

  document.getElementById("toast-default")?.addEventListener("click", () => {
    toast("Default Toast");
  });

  document.getElementById("toast-success")?.addEventListener("click", () => {
    toast.success("Success!", {
      description: "Your changes have been saved.",
    });
  });

  document.getElementById("toast-error")?.addEventListener("click", () => {
    toast.error("Error", {
      description: "Something went wrong.",
    });
  });

  document.getElementById("toast-warning")?.addEventListener("click", () => {
    toast.warning("Warning", {
      description: "Please review your input.",
    });
  });

  document.getElementById("toast-info")?.addEventListener("click", () => {
    toast.info("Info", {
      description: "Here's some helpful information.",
    });
  });

  document.getElementById("toast-loading")?.addEventListener("click", () => {
    toast.loading("Loading...", {
      description: "Please wait while we process your request.",
    });
  });
</script>

Promise Toast

Handle async operations with automatic loading, success, and error states.

---
import { Button } from "@/components/starwind/button";
---

<div class="flex flex-wrap gap-2">
  <Button variant="primary" id="toast-promise-success">Promise (Success)</Button>
  <Button variant="error" id="toast-promise-error">Promise (Error)</Button>
</div>

<script>
  import { toast } from "@/components/starwind/toast";

  document.getElementById("toast-promise-success")?.addEventListener("click", () => {
    const fakeApiCall = () =>
      new Promise<{ name: string }>((resolve) => {
        setTimeout(() => resolve({ name: "John" }), 2000);
      });

    toast.promise(fakeApiCall(), {
      loading: { title: "Saving...", description: "Please wait" },
      success: (data) => ({ title: "Saved!", description: `Welcome, ${data.name}!` }),
      error: { title: "Error", description: "Failed to save" },
    });
  });

  document.getElementById("toast-promise-error")?.addEventListener("click", () => {
    const fakeApiCall = () =>
      new Promise<string>((_, reject) => {
        setTimeout(() => reject(new Error("Network error")), 2000);
      });

    toast
      .promise(fakeApiCall(), {
        loading: "Processing...",
        success: "Done!",
        error: (err) => ({
          title: err.message || "Contact support for assistance",
          description: "Pardon our dust while we fix this issue.",
        }),
      })
      .catch(() => {});
  });
</script>

Updating & Dismissing

You can update existing toasts or dismiss them programmatically.

---
import { Button } from "@/components/starwind/button";
---

<div class="flex flex-wrap gap-2">
  <Button variant="outline" id="toast-update">Create & Update</Button>
  <Button variant="outline" id="toast-dismiss-all">Dismiss All</Button>
</div>

<script>
  import { toast } from "@/components/starwind/toast";

  document.getElementById("toast-update")?.addEventListener("click", () => {
    const id = toast("Processing...", { description: "Step 1 of 3" });

    setTimeout(() => {
      toast.update(id, { title: "Still working...", description: "Step 2 of 3" });
    }, 1500);

    setTimeout(() => {
      toast.update(id, {
        title: "Complete!",
        description: "All steps finished",
        variant: "success",
      });
    }, 3000);
  });

  document.getElementById("toast-dismiss-all")?.addEventListener("click", () => {
    toast.dismiss();
  });
</script>

toast.promise(asyncOperation(), {
  loading: "Saving...",
  success: "Saved!",
  error: "Failed to save",
});

  loading: { title: "Loading...", description: "Fetching user data" },
  success: (user) => ({ title: "Welcome!", description: `Hello, ${user.name}` }),

});

toast.update()

Update an existing toast by ID.

const id = toast("Processing...");
