Custom Toast Messages With Countdown Timer And CSS3 Animations

Preview:

Description:

Toast notifications are one of the most commonly used interactions in popular applications. It involves displaying simple messages to the user outside the usual flow of apps.

This post outlines a vanilla JavaScript library that helps create custom toast messages with a countdown timer and CSS3 slide/shake animations. Let’s get started.

How to use it:

1. Import & Initialize the Toast component.

import { Toast } from "./Toast/toast.js";

Toast.init();

2. Create a toast message on the page. Available parameters:

• message: Toast message.
• type: ‘success’ or ‘error’.
• position: Toast position.
• second: Timeout in seconds.

//Toast.show(message, type, position, second)
Toast.show("success toast", "success", "top-right", 5);

3. Create a custom notification type.

.toast--custom {
  background: #4F46E5;
  color: #fff;
}

Toast.show("Custom Toast (CSSSCRIPT)", "custom", "top-right", 5);

4. Override the default styles of the toast message.

/* toast message */
.toast {
  position: relative;
  cursor: pointer;
  width: 400px;
  padding: 15px 35px;
  font-size: 30px;
  font-family: sans-serif;
  text-align: center;
  border-radius: 5px;
  box-shadow: 0 0 15px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
  visibility: hidden;
  opacity: 0;
  transition: opacity 0.2s, top 0.2s, visibility 0.2s;
}
/* close button */
.cross {
  font-size: 10px;
  font-weight: 800;
  color: #fff;
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  right: 0;
  margin: 5px;
  cursor: pointer;
  padding: 4px;
  text-align: center;
}
