## Import

```tsx
import { Toast, useToast } from 'heroui-native';
```

## Anatomy

```tsx
<Toast>
  <Toast.Title>...</Toast.Title>
  <Toast.Description>...</Toast.Description>
  <Toast.Action>...</Toast.Action>
  <Toast.Close />
</Toast>
```

- **Toast**: Main container that displays notification messages. Handles positioning, animations, and swipe gestures.
- **Toast.Title**: Title text of the toast notification. Inherits variant styling from parent Toast context.
- **Toast.Description**: Descriptive text content displayed below the title.
- **Toast.Action**: Action button within the toast. Button variant is automatically determined based on toast variant but can be overridden.
- **Toast.Close**: Close button for dismissing the toast. Renders as an icon-only button that calls hide when pressed.

## Usage

### Usage Pattern 1: Simple String

Show a toast with a simple string message.

```tsx
const { toast } = useToast();

toast.show('This is a toast message');
```

### Usage Pattern 2: Config Object

Show a toast with label, description, variant, and action button using a config object.

```tsx
const { toast } = useToast();

toast.show({
  variant: 'success',
  label: 'You have upgraded your plan',
  description: 'You can continue using HeroUI Chat',
  icon: <Icon name="check" />,
  actionLabel: 'Close',
  onActionPress: ({ hide }) => hide(),
});
```

### Usage Pattern 3: Custom Component

Show a toast with a fully custom component for complete control over styling and layout.

```tsx
const { toast } = useToast();

toast.show({
  component: (props) => (
    <Toast variant="accent" placement="top" {...props}>
      <Toast.Title>Custom Toast</Toast.Title>
      <Toast.Description>This is a custom toast component</Toast.Description>
      <Toast.Close />
    </Toast>
  ),
});
```

**Note**: Toast items are memoized for performance. If you need to pass external state (like loading state) to a custom toast component, it will not update automatically. Use shared state techniques instead, such as React Context, state management libraries, or refs to ensure state updates propagate to the toast component.

### Disabling All Animations

Disable all animations including children by using `"disable-all"`. This cascades down to all child components (like Button in Toast.Action).

```tsx
const { toast } = useToast();

toast.show({
  variant: 'success',
  label: 'Operation completed',
  description: 'All animations are disabled',
  animation: 'disable-all',
});
```

Or with a custom component:

```tsx
const { toast } = useToast();

toast.show({
  component: (props) => (
    <Toast variant="accent" animation="disable-all" {...props}>
      <Toast.Title>No animations</Toast.Title>
      <Toast.Description>
        This toast has all animations disabled
      </Toast.Description>
      <Toast.Action>Action</Toast.Action>
    </Toast>
  ),
});
```

## Example

```tsx
import { Button, Toast, useToast, useThemeColor } from 'heroui-native';
import { View } from 'react-native';

export default function ToastExample() {
  const { toast } = useToast();
  const themeColorForeground = useThemeColor('foreground');

  return (
    <View className="gap-4 p-4">
      <Button
        onPress={() =>
          toast.show({
            variant: 'success',
            label: 'You have upgraded your plan',
            description: 'You can continue using HeroUI Chat',
            actionLabel: 'Close',
            onActionPress: ({ hide }) => hide(),
          })
        }
      >
        Show Success Toast
      </Button>

      <Button
        onPress={() =>
          toast.show({
            component: (props) => (
              <Toast variant="accent" {...props}>
                <Toast.Title>Custom Toast</Toast.Title>
                <Toast.Description>
                  This uses a custom component
                </Toast.Description>
                <Toast.Action onPress={() => props.hide()}>Undo</Toast.Action>
                <Toast.Close className="absolute top-0 right-0" />
              </Toast>
            ),
          })
        }
      >
        Show Custom Toast
      </Button>
    </View>
  );
}
```

## Global Configuration

Configure toast behavior globally using `HeroUINativeProvider` config prop. Global configs serve as defaults for all toasts unless overridden locally.

> **Note**: For complete provider configuration options, see the [Provider documentation](/docs/native/getting-started/handbook/provider#toast-configuration).

### Insets

Insets control the distance of toast sides from screen edges. Insets are added to safe area insets. To set all toasts to have a side distance of 20px from screen edges, configure insets:

```tsx
<HeroUINativeProvider
  config={{
    toast: {
      insets: {
        top: 20,
        bottom: 20,
        left: 20,
        right: 20,
      },
    },
  }}
>
  {children}
</HeroUINativeProvider>
```

### Content Wrapper with KeyboardAvoidingView

Wrap toast content with KeyboardAvoidingView to ensure toasts adjust when the keyboard appears:

```tsx
import {
  KeyboardAvoidingView,
  KeyboardProvider,
} from 'react-native-keyboard-controller';
import { HeroUINativeProvider } from 'heroui-native';
import { useCallback } from 'react';

function AppContent() {
  const contentWrapper = useCallback(
    (children: React.ReactNode) => (
      <KeyboardAvoidingView
        pointerEvents="box-none"
        behavior="padding"
        keyboardVerticalOffset={12}
        className="flex-1"
      >
        {children}
      </KeyboardAvoidingView>
    ),
    []
  );

  return (
    <KeyboardProvider>
      <HeroUINativeProvider
        config={{
          toast: {
            contentWrapper,
          },
        }}
      >
        {children}
      </HeroUINativeProvider>
    </KeyboardProvider>
  );
}
```

### Default Props

Set global defaults for variant, placement, animation, and swipe behavior:

```tsx
<HeroUINativeProvider
  config={{
    toast: {
      defaultProps: {
        variant: 'accent',
        placement: 'bottom',
        isSwipeable: false,
      },
    },
  }}
>
  {children}
</HeroUINativeProvider>
```

## Hooks

### useToast

Hook to access toast functionality. Must be used within a `ToastProvider` (provided by `HeroUINativeProvider`).

| return value     | type           | description                              |
| ---------------- | -------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| `toast`          | `ToastManager` | Toast manager with show and hide methods |
| `isToastVisible` | `boolean`      | Whether any toast is currently visible   |

#### ToastManager

| method | type                                              | description                                                                                                                          |
| ------ | ------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `show` | `(options: string \| ToastShowOptions) => string` | Show a toast. Returns the ID of the shown toast. Supports three usage patterns: simple string, config object, or custom component    |
| `hide` | `(ids?: string \| string[] \| 'all') => void`     | Hide one or more toasts. No argument hides the last toast, 'all' hides all toasts, single ID or array of IDs hides specific toast(s) |

#### ToastShowOptions

Options for showing a toast. Can be either a config object with default styling or a custom component.

**When using config object (without component):**

## Special Notes

### Element Inspector (iOS)

Toast uses FullWindowOverlay on iOS. To enable the React Native element inspector during development, set `disableFullWindowOverlay={true}` on `ToastProvider` (via `config.toast` when using HeroUINativeProvider). Tradeoff: toasts will not appear above native modals when disabled.
