Getting Started with React Toast Component
Smart UI React targets React 18+ and current Node LTS for tooling; use TypeScript templates when you want typed props and events.
Demo source (Smart UI repo): react/source/toast/basic/App.jsx
1 Create a Vite + React + TypeScript app
npm create vite@latest my-smart-app -- --template react-ts
cd my-smart-app
thennpm install
2 Install Smart UI for React
npm install smart-webcomponents-react
3 Import styles and render the component
Open src/App.tsx (or App.jsx if you chose JavaScript). The snippet below matches Smart UI React demos for this widget:
import 'smart-webcomponents-react/source/styles/smart.default.css';
import './App.css';
import React from "react";
import { Toast } from 'smart-webcomponents-react/toast';
const App = () => {
return (
<div>
<Toast
position="top-left"
autoOpen
showCloseButton
type="mail"
className="blink"
>
You have 2 new messages.
</Toast>
</div>
);
};
export default App;
4 Run the dev server
npm run dev
Open the URL Vite prints (often http://localhost:5173/).
Common Use Cases
-
Show notification
Display a toast message
toast.open();
-
Auto-close notification
Set toast to dismiss automatically
toast.autoClose = true; toast.autoCloseDelay = 3000; toast.open();
Troubleshooting
- How do I show different toast types?
- Set the type property to 'info', 'success', 'warning', or 'error' for different visual styles.
- How do I position toasts?
- Set the position property to 'top-left', 'top-right', 'bottom-left', or 'bottom-right'.
TypeScript Support
Types ship with smart-webcomponents-react. Import the component and prop types:
import type { Toast, ToastProps } from 'smart-webcomponents-react/toast';
The generated wrappers expose on* callbacks (for example onChange) whose arguments are standard DOM Event values unless the widget typings narrow them further.
Accessibility
The Toast component follows WAI-ARIA best practices:
- Keyboard navigation - Tab, Arrow keys, Enter, and Escape are supported
- ARIA roles - Appropriate roles and labels are applied automatically
- Focus management - Visible focus indicators for keyboard users
- Screen readers - State changes are announced to assistive technology
- High contrast - Supports Windows High Contrast Mode and forced colors
For custom labeling, set aria-label or aria-labelledby attributes on the component.
Supported stacks: Smart UI targets Angular 17+, React 18+, Vue 3+, Node 18 LTS, and evergreen browsers; pin exact package versions to your org policy.
