API

The Toast API consists of:

1. methods that can be called directly on the Toast object (in an imperative way)
2. props that can be passed to the Toast component instance; they act as defaults for all Toasts that are shown

methods

show(options = {})

To show a Toast, call the show() method and pass the options that suit your needs. Everything is optional, unless specified otherwise:

import Toast from 'react-native-toast-message'

Toast.show({
  type: 'info',
  text1: 'This is an info message'
});

The complete set of options is described below:

option	description	type	default value
type	Toast type. Default available values: success, error, info. Learn how to extend / overwrite Toast types	string	success
text1	First line of text	string
text2	Second line of text	string
position	Toast position	top or bottom	top
visibilityTime	Number of milliseconds after which Toast automatically hides. Has effect only in conjunction with autoHide prop set to true	number	4000
autoHide	When true, the visible Toast automatically hides after a certain number of milliseconds, specified by the visibilityTime prop	boolean	true
topOffset	Offset from the top of the screen (in px). Has effect only when position is top	number	40
bottomOffset	Offset from the bottom of the screen (in px). Has effect only when position is bottom	number	40
keyboardOffset	Offset from the Keyboard (in px). Has effect only when position is bottom and Keyboard is visible (iOS only)	number	10
onShow	Called when the Toast is shown	() => void
onHide	Called when the Toast hides	() => void
onPress	Called on Toast press	() => void
props	Any custom props passed to the specified Toast type. Has effect only when there is a custom Toast type (configured via the config prop on the Toast instance) that uses the props parameter	any

hide()

To hide the current visible Toast, call the hide() method:

Toast.hide();

If an onHide callback was set (via show(), or as a default prop on the Toast component instance), it will be called now.

props

The following set of props can be passed to the Toast component instance to specify certain defaults for all Toasts that are shown:

prop	description	type	default value
config	Layout configuration for custom Toast types	ToastConfig
type	Default Toast type	string	success
position	Default Toast position	top or bottom	top
visibilityTime	Number of milliseconds after which Toast automatically hides. Has effect only in conjunction with autoHide prop set to true	number	4000
autoHide	When true, the visible Toast automatically hides after a certain number of milliseconds, specified by the visibilityTime prop	boolean	true
swipeable	When true, the Toast can be swiped to dismiss	boolean	true
topOffset	Offset from the top of the screen (in px). Has effect only when position is top	number	40
bottomOffset	Offset from the bottom of the screen (in px). Has effect only when position is bottom	number	40
keyboardOffset	Offset from the Keyboard (in px). Has effect only when position is bottom and Keyboard is visible (iOS only)	number	10
onShow	Called when any Toast is shown	() => void
onHide	Called when any Toast hides	() => void
onPress	Called on any Toast press	() => void

For example, to make sure all your Toasts are displayed at the bottom of the screen:

// App.jsx
import Toast from 'react-native-toast-message';

export function App(props) {
  return (
    <>
      {/* ... */}
      <Toast
        position='bottom'
        bottomOffset={20}
      />
    </>
  );
}
