Vue Toast Component

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

Other frameworks

CoreUI components are available as native Angular, Bootstrap (Vanilla JS), and React components. To learn more please visit the following pages.

• Angular Toast
• Bootstrap Toast
• React Toast

Vue 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.

Overview #

Things to know when using the toast plugin:

• Toasts are opt-in for performance reasons, so you must initialize them yourself.
• Toasts will automatically hide if you do not specify autohide: false.

Examples #

Basic #

To encourage extensible and predictable toasts, we recommend 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.

Translucent #

Toasts are slightly translucent to blend in with what's below them.

Stacking #

You can stack toasts by wrapping them in a toast container, which will vertically add some spacing.

    <CToastBody>Hello, world! This is a toast message.</CToastBody>
  </CToast>
</CToaster>

Custom content #

Customize your toasts by removing sub-components, tweaking them with utilities, or by adding your own markup. Here we've created a simpler toast by removing the default <CToastHeader>, adding a custom hide icon from CoreUI Icons, and using some flexbox utilities to adjust the layout.

Hello, world! This is a toast message.

<CToast :autohide="false" class="align-items-center">
  <div class="d-flex">
    <CToastBody>Hello, world! This is a toast message.</CToastBody>
    <CToastClose class="me-2 m-auto"/>
  </div>
</CToast>

Alternatively, you can also add additional controls and components to toasts.

Hello, world! This is a toast message.

<CToast :autohide="false" class="align-items-center">
  <CToastBody>
    Hello, world! This is a toast message.
    <div class="mt-2 pt-2 border-top">
    <CButton type="button" color="primary" size="sm">
    Take action
    </CButton>
    <CToastClose component="CButton" color="secondary" size="sm" class="ms-1">Close</CToastClose>
    </div>
  </CToastBody>
</CToast>

Color schemes #

Building on the above example, you can create different toast color schemes with our color and background utilities. Here we've set color="primary" and added .text-white class to the <Ctoast>, and then set white property to our close button. For a crisp edge, we remove the default border with .border-0.

Hello, world! This is a toast message.

<CToast :autohide="false" color="primary" class="text-white align-items-center">
  <div class="d-flex">
    <CToastBody>Hello, world! This is a toast message.</CToastBody>
    <CToastClose class="me-2 m-auto" white />
  </div>
</CToast>

Customizing #

CSS variables #

Vue toasts use local CSS variables on .toast for enhanced real-time customization. Values for the CSS variables are set via Sass, so Sass customization is still supported, too.

--cui-toast-padding-x: #{$toast-padding-x};
--cui-toast-padding-y: #{$toast-padding-y};
--cui-toast-spacing: #{$toast-spacing};
--cui-toast-max-width: #{$toast-max-width};
--cui-toast-font-size: #{$toast-font-size};
--cui-toast-color: #{$toast-color};
--cui-toast-bg: #{$toast-background-color};
--cui-toast-border-width: #{$toast-border-width};
--cui-toast-border-color: #{$toast-border-color};
--cui-toast-border-radius: #{$toast-border-radius};
--cui-toast-box-shadow: #{$toast-box-shadow};
--cui-toast-header-color: #{$toast-header-color};
--cui-toast-header-bg: #{$toast-header-background-color};
--cui-toast-header-border-color: #{$toast-header-border-color};

How to use CSS variables #

const vars = { 
  '--my-css-var': 10,
  '--my-another-css-var': "red" 
}
return <CToast :style="vars">...</CToast>

SASS variables #

$toast-max-width:                   350px;
$toast-padding-x:                   .75rem;
$toast-padding-y:                   .5rem;
$toast-font-size:                   .875rem;
$toast-color:                       unset;
$toast-background-color:            rgba($white, .85);
$toast-border-width:                $border-width;
$toast-border-color:                var(--cui-border-color-translucent);
$toast-border-radius:               $border-radius;
$toast-box-shadow:                  $box-shadow;
$toast-spacing:                     $container-padding-x;

$toast-header-color:                $gray-600;
$toast-header-background-color:     rgba($white, .85);
$toast-header-border-color:         rgba($black, .05);
