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.

## Overview

Things to know when using the toast plugin:

- If you're building our JavaScript from source, it [requires `util.js`]({{< docsref "/getting-started/javascript#util" >}}).

- Toasts are opt-in for performance reasons, so **you must initialize them yourself**.

- **Please note that you are responsible for positioning toasts.**

- Toasts will automatically hide if you do not specify `autohide: false`.

## 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.

{{< example class="bg-light" >}}

<div class="toast" role="alert" aria-live="assertive" aria-atomic="true">

  <div class="toast-header">

    {{< placeholder width="20" height="20" background="#007aff" class="rounded mr-2" text=" " title=" " >}}

    <strong class="mr-auto">Bootstrap</strong>

    <small>11 mins ago</small>

    <button type="button" class="ml-2 mb-1 close" data-dismiss="toast" aria-label="Close">

      <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>

    </button>

  </div>

  <div class="toast-body">

    Hello, world! This is a toast message.

  </div>

</div>

{{< /example >}}

### Live

Click the button below to show a toast (positioned with our utilities in the lower right corner) that has been hidden by default with `.hide`.

<div class="position-fixed bottom-0 right-0 p-3" style="z-index: 5; right: 0; bottom: 0;">

  <div id="liveToast" class="toast hide" role="alert" aria-live="assertive" aria-atomic="true" data-delay="2000">

    <div class="toast-header">

      {{< placeholder width="20" height="20" background="#007aff" class="rounded mr-2" text="false" title="false" >}}

      <strong class="mr-auto">Bootstrap</strong>

      <small>11 mins ago</small>

      <button type="button" class="ml-2 mb-1 close" data-dismiss="toast" aria-label="Close">

        <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>

      </button>

    </div>

    <div class="toast-body">

      Hello, world! This is a toast message.

    </div>

  </div>

</div>

<div class="bd-example">

  <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" id="liveToastBtn">Show live toast</button>

</div>

```html

<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" id="liveToastBtn">Show live toast</button>

<div class="position-fixed bottom-0 right-0 p-3" style="z-index: 5; right: 0; bottom: 0;">

  <div id="liveToast" class="toast hide" role="alert" aria-live="assertive" aria-atomic="true" data-delay="2000">

    <div class="toast-header">

      <img src="..." class="rounded mr-2" alt="...">

      <strong class="mr-auto">Bootstrap</strong>

      <small>11 mins ago</small>

      <button type="button" class="ml-2 mb-1 close" data-dismiss="toast" aria-label="Close">

        <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>

      </button>

    </div>

    <div class="toast-body">

      Hello, world! This is a toast message.

    </div>

  </div>

</div>

```

### Translucent

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

{{< example class="bg-dark" >}}

<div class="toast" role="alert" aria-live="assertive" aria-atomic="true">

  <div class="toast-header">

    {{< placeholder width="20" height="20" background="#007aff" class="rounded mr-2" text=" " title=" " >}}

    <strong class="mr-auto">Bootstrap</strong>

    <small class="text-muted">11 mins ago</small>

    <button type="button" class="ml-2 mb-1 close" data-dismiss="toast" aria-label="Close">

      <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>

    </button>

  </div>

  <div class="toast-body">

    Hello, world! This is a toast message.

  </div>

</div>

{{< /example >}}

### Stacking

When you have multiple toasts, we default to vertically stacking them in a readable manner.

{{< example class="bg-light" >}}

<div class="toast" role="alert" aria-live="assertive" aria-atomic="true">

  <div class="toast-header">

    {{< placeholder width="20" height="20" background="#007aff" class="rounded mr-2" text=" " title=" " >}}

    <strong class="mr-auto">Bootstrap</strong>

    <small class="text-muted">just now</small>

    <button type="button" class="ml-2 mb-1 close" data-dismiss="toast" aria-label="Close">

      <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>

    </button>

  </div>

  <div class="toast-body">

    See? Just like this.

  </div>

</div>

<div class="toast" role="alert" aria-live="assertive" aria-atomic="true">

  <div class="toast-header">

    {{< placeholder width="20" height="20" background="#007aff" class="rounded mr-2" text=" " title=" " >}}

    <strong class="mr-auto">Bootstrap</strong>

    <small class="text-muted">2 seconds ago</small>

    <button type="button" class="ml-2 mb-1 close" data-dismiss="toast" aria-label="Close">

      <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>

    </button>

  </div>

  <div class="toast-body">

    Heads up, toasts will stack automatically

  </div>

</div>

{{< /example >}}

## Placement

Place toasts with custom CSS as you need them. The top right is often used for notifications, as is the top middle. If you're only ever going to show one toast at a time, put the positioning styles right on the `.toast`.

{{< example class="bg-dark" >}}

<div aria-live="polite" aria-atomic="true" style="position: relative; min-height: 200px;">

  <div class="toast" style="position: absolute; top: 0; right: 0;">

    <div class="toast-header">

      {{< placeholder width="20" height="20" background="#007aff" class="rounded mr-2" text=" " title=" " >}}

      <strong class="mr-auto">Bootstrap</strong>

      <small>11 mins ago</small>

      <button type="button" class="ml-2 mb-1 close" data-dismiss="toast" aria-label="Close">

        <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>

      </button>

    </div>

    <div class="toast-body">

      Hello, world! This is a toast message.

    </div>

  </div>

</div>

{{< /example >}}

For systems that generate more notifications, consider using a wrapping element so they can easily stack.

{{< example class="bg-dark" >}}

<div aria-live="polite" aria-atomic="true" style="position: relative; min-height: 200px;">

  <!-- Position it -->

  <div style="position: absolute; top: 0; right: 0;">

    <!-- Then put toasts within -->

    <div class="toast" role="alert" aria-live="assertive" aria-atomic="true">

      <div class="toast-header">

        {{< placeholder width="20" height="20" background="#007aff" class="rounded mr-2" text=" " title=" " >}}

        <strong class="mr-auto">Bootstrap</strong>

        <small class="text-muted">just now</small>

        <button type="button" class="ml-2 mb-1 close" data-dismiss="toast" aria-label="Close">

          <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>

        </button>

      </div>

      <div class="toast-body">

        See? Just like this.

      </div>

    </div>

    <div class="toast" role="alert" aria-live="assertive" aria-atomic="true">

      <div class="toast-header">

        {{< placeholder width="20" height="20" background="#007aff" class="rounded mr-2" text=" " title=" " >}}

        <strong class="mr-auto">Bootstrap</strong>

        <small class="text-muted">2 seconds ago</small>

        <button type="button" class="ml-2 mb-1 close" data-dismiss="toast" aria-label="Close">

          <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>

        </button>

      </div>

      <div class="toast-body">

        Heads up, toasts will stack automatically

      </div>

    </div>

  </div>

</div>

{{< /example >}}

You can also get fancy with flexbox utilities to align toasts horizontally and/or vertically.

{{< example class="bg-dark" >}}

<!-- Flexbox container for aligning the toasts -->

<div aria-live="polite" aria-atomic="true" class="d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center" style="height: 200px;">

  <!-- Then put toasts within -->

  <div class="toast" role="alert" aria-live="assertive" aria-atomic="true">

    <div class="toast-header">

      {{< placeholder width="20" height="20" background="#007aff" class="rounded mr-2" text=" " title=" " >}}

      <strong class="mr-auto">Bootstrap</strong>

      <small>11 mins ago</small>

      <button type="button" class="ml-2 mb-1 close" data-dismiss="toast" aria-label="Close">

        <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>

      </button>

    </div>

    <div class="toast-body">

      Hello, world! This is a toast message.

    </div>

  </div>

</div>

{{< /example >}}

## Accessibility

Toasts are intended to be small interruptions to your visitors or users, so to help those with screen readers and similar assistive technologies, you should wrap your toasts in an [`aria-live` region](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/ARIA_Live_Regions). Changes to live regions (such as injecting/updating a toast component) are automatically announced by screen readers without needing to move the user's focus or otherwise interrupt the user. Additionally, include `aria-atomic="true"` to ensure that the entire toast is always announced as a single (atomic) unit, rather than just announcing what was changed (which could lead to problems if you only update part of the toast's content, or if displaying the same toast content at a later point in time). If the information needed is important for the process, e.g. for a list of errors in a form, then use the [alert component]({{< docsref "/components/alerts" >}}) instead of toast.

Note that the live region needs to be present in the markup *before* the toast is generated or updated. If you dynamically generate both at the same time and inject them into the page, they will generally not be announced by assistive technologies.

You also need to adapt the `role` and `aria-live` level depending on the content. If it's an important message like an error, use `role="alert" aria-live="assertive"`, otherwise use `role="status" aria-live="polite"` attributes.

As the content you're displaying changes, be sure to update the [`delay` timeout](#options) so that users have enough time to read the toast.

```html

<div class="toast" role="alert" aria-live="polite" aria-atomic="true" data-delay="10000">

  <div role="alert" aria-live="assertive" aria-atomic="true">...</div>

</div>

```

When using `autohide: false`, you must add a close button to allow users to dismiss the toast.

{{< example class="bg-light" >}}

<div role="alert" aria-live="assertive" aria-atomic="true" class="toast" data-autohide="false">

  <div class="toast-header">

    {{< placeholder width="20" height="20" background="#007aff" class="rounded mr-2" text=" " title=" " >}}

    <strong class="mr-auto">Bootstrap</strong>

    <small>11 mins ago</small>

    <button type="button" class="ml-2 mb-1 close" data-dismiss="toast" aria-label="Close">

      <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>

    </button>

  </div>

  <div class="toast-body">

    Hello, world! This is a toast message.

  </div>

</div>

{{< /example >}}

While technically it's possible to add focusable/actionable controls (such as additional buttons or links) in your toast, you should avoid doing this for autohiding toasts. Even if you give the toast a long [`delay` timeout](#options), keyboard and assistive technology users may find it difficult to reach the toast in time to take action (since toasts don't receive focus when they are displayed). If you absolutely must have further controls, we recommend using a toast with `autohide: false`.

## JavaScript behavior

### Usage

Initialize toasts via JavaScript:

```js

$('.toast').toast(option)

```

### Options

Options can be passed via data attributes or JavaScript. For data attributes, append the option name to `data-`, as in `data-animation=""`.

<table class="table table-bordered table-striped">

  <thead>

    <tr>

      <th style="width: 100px;">Name</th>

      <th style="width: 100px;">Type</th>

      <th style="width: 50px;">Default</th>

      <th>Description</th>

    </tr>

  </thead>

  <tbody>

    <tr>

      <td>animation</td>

      <td>boolean</td>

      <td>true</td>

      <td>Apply a CSS fade transition to the toast</td>

    </tr>

    <tr>

      <td>autohide</td>

      <td>boolean</td>

      <td>true</td>

      <td>Auto hide the toast</td>

    </tr>

    <tr>

      <td>delay</td>

      <td>number</td>

      <td>

        <code>500</code>

      </td>

      <td>Delay hiding the toast (ms)</td>

    </tr>

  </tbody>

</table>

### Methods

{{< callout danger >}}

{{< partial "callout-danger-async-methods.md" >}}

{{< /callout >}}

#### `$().toast(options)`

Attaches a toast handler to an element collection.

#### `.toast('show')`

Reveals an element's toast. **Returns to the caller before the toast has actually been shown** (i.e. before the `shown.bs.toast` event occurs).

You have to manually call this method, instead your toast won't show.

```js

$('#element').toast('show')

```

#### `.toast('hide')`

Hides an element's toast. **Returns to the caller before the toast has actually been hidden** (i.e. before the `hidden.bs.toast` event occurs). You have to manually call this method if you made `autohide` to `false`.

```js

$('#element').toast('hide')

```

#### `.toast('dispose')`

Hides an element's toast. Your toast will remain on the DOM but won't show anymore.

```js

$('#element').toast('dispose')

```

### Events

<table class="table table-bordered table-striped">

  <thead>

    <tr>

      <th style="width: 150px;">Event Type</th>

      <th>Description</th>

    </tr>

  </thead>

  <tbody>

    <tr>

      <td>show.bs.toast</td>

      <td>This event fires immediately when the <code>show</code> instance method is called.</td>

    </tr>

    <tr>

      <td>shown.bs.toast</td>

      <td>This event is fired when the toast has been made visible to the user.</td>

    </tr>

    <tr>

      <td>hide.bs.toast</td>

      <td>This event is fired immediately when the <code>hide</code> instance method has been called.</td>

    </tr>

    <tr>

      <td>hidden.bs.toast</td>

      <td>This event is fired when the toast has finished being hidden from the user.</td>

    </tr>

  </tbody>

</table>

```js

$('#myToast').on('hidden.bs.toast', function () {

  // do something...

})

```
