Toasts

Overview

Toasts display low priority, event-driven feedback which usually doesn’t require any user interaction. They appear for a set time and disappear automatically. They are appropriate for informing the user about action confirmations without being intrusive or infer unnecessary attention (e.g. “Message Sent” or “Changes Saved”).

Usage

Use when

• Notifying the user of global information, such as a change in server connection status.
• Confirming the success of a global action.
• Displaying quick snippets of information that disappear on their own after a set amount of time has passed.

Don’t use when

• Displaying critical information that require immediate user action. Instead, use an Alert
• The information being displayed is highly contextual to the user action.
