react-native-root-toast

---

Features

1. Pure javascript solution.
2. Support both Android and iOS.
3. Lots of custom options for Toast.
4. You can show/hide Toast by calling api or using Component inside render.

Install

npm install react-native-root-toast

react-native-root-toast >= 2.1.0 only supports react-native >= 0.47.0 , for lower version choose 2.0.0 or below.

In react native >= 0.62, the new LogBox component would impact this component's initialization. To make it work we have to explicitly insert a mount point in your app like this:

1// in your entry file like `App.js`
2
3// In theory you don't have to install `react-native-root-siblings` because it's a dep of root-toast
4// But you can install it explicitly if your editor complains about it.
5import { RootSiblingParent } from 'react-native-root-siblings';
6
7// in your render function 
8return (
9  <RootSiblingParent>  // <- use RootSiblingParent to wrap your root component
10    <App />
11  </RootSiblingParent>
12);
13            

You can skip this step if your react-native is lower than 0.62. And actually you can inject RootSiblingParent into anywhere like a react portal, for example if you have multiple rootviews you can choose where to display the root toast.

Usage

There are two different ways to manage a Toast.

Calling api

1import Toast from 'react-native-root-toast';
2
3
4// Add a Toast on screen.
5let toast = Toast.show('This is a message', {
6    duration: Toast.durations.LONG,
7    position: Toast.positions.BOTTOM,
8    shadow: true,
9    animation: true,
10    hideOnPress: true,
11    delay: 0,
12    onShow: () => {
13        // calls on toast\`s appear animation start
14    },
15    onShown: () => {
16        // calls on toast\`s appear animation end.
17    },
18    onHide: () => {
19        // calls on toast\`s hide animation start.
20    },
21    onHidden: () => {
22        // calls on toast\`s hide animation end.
23    }
24});
25
26// You can manually hide the Toast, or it will automatically disappear after a `duration` ms timeout.
27setTimeout(function () {
28    Toast.hide(toast);
29}, 500);

Using a Component

NOTE: Showing a toast by using a Component inside render, The toast will be automatically disappeared when the <Toast /> is unmounted.

1import React, {Component} from 'react-native';
2import Toast from 'react-native-root-toast';
3
4class Example extends Component{
5    state = {
6        visible: false
7    }
8
9    componentDidMount() {
10        setTimeout(() => this.setState({
11            visible: true
12        }), 2000); // show toast after 2s
13
14        setTimeout(() => this.setState({
15            visible: false
16        }), 5000); // hide toast after 5s
17    };
18
19    render() {
20        return <Toast
21            visible={this.state.visible}
22            position={50}
23            shadow={false}
24            animation={false}
25            hideOnPress={true}
26        >This is a message</Toast>;
27    }
28}
