Notification / Toast

Bootstrap notification / toast

Note: This documentation is for an older version of Bootstrap (v.4). A newer version is available for Bootstrap 5. We recommend migrating to the latest version of our product - Material Design for Bootstrap 5.
Go to docs v.5

Push notifications to your visitors with a 'toast', a lightweight and easily customizable alert message.

Toasts are lightweight notifications designed to mimic the push notifications that have been popularized by mobile and desktop operating systems. They’re built with flexbox, so they’re easy to align and position.

Bootstrap example

To encourage extensible and predictable toasts, we recommend that you a header and body. Toast headers use display: flex, allowing easy alignment of content thanks to our margin and flexbox utilities.

Toasts are as flexible as you need and have very little required markup. At a minimum, we require a single element to contain your “toasted” content and strongly encourage a dismiss button.

            <!-- Info message -->
            <a class="btn btn-info" onclick="toastr.info('Hi! I am info message.');">Info message</a>
            <!-- Warning message -->
            <a class="btn btn-warning" onclick="toastr.warning('Hi! I am warning message.');">Warning message</a>

            <a class="btn btn-danger" onclick="toastr.error('Hi! I am error message.');">Error message</a>

Translucent

Toasts are slightly translucent, too, so they blend over whatever they might appear over. For browsers that support the backdrop-filter CSS property, we’ll also attempt to blur the elements under a toast. 



        <div class="toast" role="alert" aria-live="assertive" aria-atomic="true">
          <div class="toast-header">
            <svg class=" rounded mr-2" width="20" height="20" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid slice"
              focusable="false" role="img">
              <rect fill="#007aff" width="100%" height="100%" /></svg>
            <strong class="mr-auto">Bootstrap</strong>

            <button type="button" class="ml-2 mb-1 close" data-dismiss="toast" aria-label="Close">
              <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>
            </button>

            Hello, world! This is a toast message.
          </div>
        </div>

Stacking

When you have multiple toasts, we default to vertically stacking them in a readable manner. 



        <div class="toast" role="alert" aria-live="assertive" aria-atomic="true" data-autohide="false">
          <div class="toast-header">
            <svg class="rounded mr-2" width="20" height="20" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid slice"
              focusable="false" role="img">
              <rect fill="#007aff" width="100%" height="100%" /></svg>
            <strong class="mr-auto">Bootstrap</strong>

            </button>
          </div>
          <div class="toast-body">
            See? Just like this.
          </div>
        </div>

        <div class="toast" role="alert" aria-live="assertive" aria-atomic="true" data-autohide="false">
          <div class="toast-header">
            <svg class="rounded mr-2" width="20" height="20" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid slice"
              focusable="false" role="img">
              <rect fill="#007aff" width="100%" height="100%" /></svg>
            <strong class="mr-auto">Bootstrap</strong>
            <small class="text-muted">2 seconds ago</small>
            <button type="button" class="ml-2 mb-1 close" data-dismiss="toast" aria-label="Close">
              <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>
            </button>
          </div>
          <div class="toast-body">
            Heads up, toasts will stack automatically
          </div>
        </div>

Placement

Place toasts with custom CSS as you need them. The top right is often used for notifications, as is the top middle. If you’re only ever going to show one toast at a time, put the positioning style right on the .toast.

Bootstrap 11 mins ago
Hello, world! This is a toast message. 


        <div aria-live="polite" aria-atomic="true" style="position: relative; min-height: 200px;">
          <div class="toast" style="position: absolute; top: 0; right: 0;" data-autohide="false">
            <div class="toast-header">
              <svg class="rounded mr-2" width="20" height="20" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid slice"

            </div>
          </div>
        </div>

For systems that generate more notifications, consider using a wrapping element so they can easily stack.

          <!-- Position it -->

Accessibility

Toasts are intended to be small interruptions to your visitors or users, so to help those with screen readers and similar assistive technologies, you should wrap your toasts in an aria-live region. Changes to live regions (such as injecting/updating a toast component) are automatically announced by screen readers without needing to move the user’s focus or otherwise interrupt the user. Additionally, include aria-atomic="true" to ensure that the entire toast is always announced as a single (atomic) unit, rather than announcing what was changed (which could lead to problems if you only update part of the toast’s content, or when displaying the same toast content at a later point in time). If the information needed is important for the process, e.g. for a list of errors in a form, then use the alert component instead of toast.

Note that the live region needs to be present in the markup before the toast is generated or updated. If you dynamically generate both at the same time and inject them into the page, they will generally not be announced by assistive technologies.

You also need to adapt the role and aria-live level depending on the content. If it’s an important message like an error, use role="alert" aria-live="assertive", otherwise use the role="status" aria-live="polite" attributes.

As the content you’re displaying changes, be sure to update the delay timeout to ensure people have enough time to read the toast.



        <div class="toast" role="alert" aria-live="polite" aria-atomic="true" data-delay="10000">
          <div role="alert" aria-live="assertive" aria-atomic="true">...</div>
        </div>

When using autohide: false, you must add a close button to allow users to dismiss the toast.



        <div role="alert" aria-live="assertive" aria-atomic="true" class="toast" data-autohide="false">
          <div class="toast-header">
            <svg class="bd-placeholder-img rounded mr-2" width="20" height="20" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
              preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid slice" focusable="false" role="img">
              <rect fill="#007aff" width="100%" height="100%" /></svg>
            <strong class="mr-auto">Bootstrap</strong>
            <small>11 mins ago</small>
            <button type="button" class="ml-2 mb-1 close" data-dismiss="toast" aria-label="Close">
              <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>

Methods

Asynchronous methods and transitions

All API methods are asynchronous and start a transition. They return to the caller as soon as the transition is started but before it ends. In addition, a method call on a transitioning component will be ignored.

$().toast(options)

Attaches a toast handler to an element collection.

.toast('show')

Reveals an element’s toast. It returns to the caller before the toast has actually been shown (i.e. before the shown.bs.toast event occurs). You have to manually call this method, otherwise, your toast won’t show.



        $('#element').toast('show')

.toast('hide')

Hides an element’s toast. Returns to the caller before the toast has actually been hidden (i.e. before the hidden.bs.toast event occurs). You have to manually call this method if you made autohide to false.



        $('#element').toast('hide')

.toast('dispose')

Hides an element’s toast. Your toast will remain on the DOM but won’t show anymore.



        $('#element').toast('dispose')

Events

Event Type Description
show.bs.toast This event fires immediately when the show instance method is called.
shown.bs.toast This event is fired when the toast has been made visible to the user.
hide.bs.toast This event is fired immediately when the hide instance method has been called.
hidden.bs.toast This event is fired when the toast has finished being hidden from the user. 


        $('#myToast').on('hidden.bs.toast', function () {
        // do something…
        })

Map of dependencies of SCSS files in MDBootstrap:


  

    Legend:

    '-->' means 'required'

    All free and pro files require files from 'core' catalog

    'none' means 'this component doesn't require anything except core files'

    A file wrapped by `< >` means that this file make the base component prettier but it isn't necessary for the proper working

    All PRO components require 'pro/_variables.scss' file
