Installation

You can install this package by simply running npm install --save toastify or yarn add toastify.

import Toastify from "toastify";

Usage

The Toastify package allows you to fire different levels of notifications. At present you can fire: default, info, success, error and warning. To do this you simply call the respective method. For example, to fire a success notification you would do the following:

Toastify.success('Title', 'This is the body of the notification');

As you can see, the first parameter is the title of the notification. The second parameter is the body, which is totally optional.

Configuration

There are a small number of options you can configure in this package. These are the position, delay, element and speed.

To set an option, you can simply call the setOption method. Here is an example:

Toastify.setOption('delay', 10000);

Position

By default, the position is set to bottom-right. However you can alter this to one of the following if you wish: top-left, top-right, bottom-left.

Delay

The delay value determines how long this notification appears on screen before it disappears. The default value is 5 seconds (5000ms). You can alter this to any number you wish.

Speed

The speed value determines how fast the animation is when fading in and fading out notifications. The default speed is 20 - however you can adjust this to suit your needs.
