Toasts - Materialize

Materialize provides an easy way for you to send unobtrusive alerts to your users through toasts. These toasts are also placed and sized responsively, try it out by clicking the button below on different device sizes.

Toast!

To do this, call the M.toast() function programatically in JavaScript.


  M.toast({html: 'I am a toast!'})

One way to add this into your application is to add this as an onclick event to a button.


  <a onclick="M.toast({html: 'I am a toast'})" class="btn">Toast!</a>

You can customize the behavior of each Toast using these options.

Name	Type	Default	Description
html	String	''	The HTML content of the Toast.
displayLength	Number	4000	Length in ms the Toast stays before dismissal.
inDuration	Number	300	Transition in duration in milliseconds.
outDuration	Number	375	Transition out duration in milliseconds.
classes	String	''	Classes to be added to the toast element.
completeCallback	Function	null	Callback function called when toast is dismissed.
activationPercent	Number	0.8	The percentage of the toast's width it takes for a drag to dismiss a Toast.

Name	Type	Description
el	Element	The toast element.
options	Object	The options the instance was initialized with.
panning	Boolean	Describes the current pan state of the Toast.
timeRemaining	Number	The remaining amount of time in ms that the toast will stay before dismissal.

You can pass in an HTML String as the first argument as well. Take a look at the example below, where we pass in text as well as a flat button. If you call an external function instead of in-line JavaScript, you will not need to escape quotation marks.

Toast with Action


  var toastHTML = '<span>I am toast content</span><button class="btn-flat toast-action">Undo</button>';
  M.toast({html: toastHTML});

You can have the toast callback a function when it has been dismissed.

Toast!


  <a class="btn" onclick="M.toast({html: 'I am a toast', completeCallback: function(){alert('Your toast was dismissed')}})">Toast!</a>

We've added the ability to customize your toasts easily. You can pass in classes as an optional parameter into the toast function. We've added a rounded class for you, but you can create your own CSS classes and apply them to toasts. Checkout out our full example below.

Round Toast!


  // 'rounded' is the class I'm applying to the toast
  M.toast({html: 'I am a toast!', classes: 'rounded'});

To remove a specific toast using JavaScript, access the M_Toast toast HTML element and call the dismiss function


  // Get toast DOM Element, get instance, then call dismiss function
  var toastElement = document.querySelector('.toast');
  var toastInstance = M.Toast.getInstance(toastElement);
  toastInstance.dismiss();
