Bootstrap 5 Toasts

Toasts

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

WARNING

This feature is only available in AdminKit PRO. Learn more.

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.

html
<div class="toast" role="alert" aria-live="assertive" aria-atomic="true">
  <div class="toast-header">
    <strong class="me-auto">AdminKit</strong>
    <small>11 mins ago</small>
    <button type="button" class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="toast" aria-label="Close"></button>
  </div>
  <div class="toast-body">
    Hello, world! This is a toast message.
  </div>
</div>

Translucent

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

html
<div class="toast" role="alert" aria-live="assertive" aria-atomic="true">
  <div class="toast-header">
    <strong class="me-auto">AdminKit</strong>
    <small class="text-muted">11 mins ago</small>
    <button type="button" class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="toast" aria-label="Close"></button>
  </div>
  <div class="toast-body">
    Hello, world! This is a toast message.
  </div>
</div>

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 .toast-header and using some flexbox utilities to adjust the layout.

html
<div class="toast align-items-center" role="alert" aria-live="assertive" aria-atomic="true">
  <div class="d-flex">
    <div class="toast-body">
    Hello, world! This is a toast message.
   </div>
    <button type="button" class="btn-close me-2 m-auto" data-bs-dismiss="toast" aria-label="Close"></button>
  </div>
</div>

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

html
<div class="toast" role="alert" aria-live="assertive" aria-atomic="true">
  <div class="toast-body">
    Hello, world! This is a toast message.
    <div class="mt-2 pt-2 border-top">
      <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Take action</button>
      <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary btn-sm" data-bs-dismiss="toast">Close</button>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Color schemes

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

html
<div class="toast align-items-center text-white bg-primary border-0" role="alert" aria-live="assertive" aria-atomic="true">
  <div class="d-flex">
    <div class="toast-body">
      Hello, world! This is a toast message.
    </div>
    <button type="button" class="btn-close btn-close-white me-2 m-auto" data-bs-dismiss="toast" aria-label="Close"></button>
  </div>
</div>

About

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.

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.
