useToast

A composable to display toast notifications in your app.

Usage

Use the auto-imported useToast composable to display Toast notifications.

<script setup lang="ts">
const toast = useToast()
</script>
  • The useToast composable uses Nuxt's useState to manage the toast state, ensuring reactivity across your application.
  • A maximum of 5 toasts are displayed at a time. When adding a new toast that would exceed this limit, the oldest toast is automatically removed.
  • When removing a toast, there's a 200ms delay before it's actually removed from the state, allowing for exit animations.
Make sure to wrap your app with the App component which uses our Toaster component which uses the ToastProvider component from Reka UI.
Learn how to customize the appearance and behavior of toasts in the Toast component documentation.
