Quick Start

1. Wrap your app with the ToastProvider:

import React from 'react';
import { ToastProvider } from 'react-native-toastify-expo';

export default function App() {
  return (
    <ToastProvider>
      <YourApp />
    </ToastProvider>
  );
}

2. Use the useToast hook in your components:

import React from 'react';
import { View, Button } from 'react-native';
import { useToast } from 'react-native-toastify-expo';

export const MyComponent = () => {
  const { showToast } = useToast();

  return (
    <View>
      <Button 
        title="Show Success Toast"
        onPress={() => showToast({
          message: 'Operation completed successfully!',
          type: 'success',
          duration: 3000,
          position: 'bottom'
        })}
      />
      <Button 
        title="Show Error Toast"
        onPress={() => showToast({
          message: 'Something went wrong!',
          type: 'error',
          duration: 5000,
          position: 'top'

Custom Styling with textStyle and containerStyle

You can fully customize the appearance of your toasts using the textStyle and containerStyle props:

// Custom styled toast with large text and rounded corners
showToast({
  message: 'Custom styled toast with large text and rounded corners!',
  type: 'info',

  textStyle: {
    fontSize: 18,
    fontWeight: 'bold',
    textAlign: 'center',
    color: '#ffffff'
  },
  containerStyle: {
    borderRadius: 20,
    backgroundColor: '#9c27b0',
    padding: 20,
    marginHorizontal: 10
  }
});

// Toast with custom background and text styling
showToast({
  message: 'Toast with custom background and text styling!',
  type: 'success',
  duration: 5000,
  position: 'bottom',
  textStyle: {
    fontSize: 16,
    fontStyle: 'italic',
    textDecorationLine: 'underline',
    color: '#fff'
  },
  containerStyle: {
    backgroundColor: '#ff5722',
    borderRadius: 12,
    borderWidth: 2,
    borderColor: '#fff',
    shadowColor: '#000',
    shadowOffset: { width: 0, height: 4 },
    shadowOpacity: 0.3,
    shadowRadius: 6,
    elevation: 8
  }
});

// Minimal design toast
showToast({
  message: 'Minimal design toast',
  type: 'warning',
  duration: 3000,
  position: 'top',
  textStyle: {
    fontSize: 14,
    color: '#333'
  },
  containerStyle: {
    backgroundColor: '#fff',
    borderRadius: 4,
    padding: 12,
    borderLeftWidth: 4,
    borderLeftColor: '#ff9800'
  }
});

Styling

The toast component uses React Native's StyleSheet for styling. You can customize the appearance by passing textStyle and containerStyle props.

Default Styles

• Background Colors:
  • Success: #4caf50
  • Error: #f44336
  • Warning: #ff9800
  • Info: #2196f3
• Text Color: White
• Border Radius: 8px
• Padding: 15px
• Shadow: Subtle elevation/shadow for depth

Custom Styling

You can override any default style by using the textStyle and containerStyle props:

• textStyle: Overrides the message text styling (fontSize, color, fontWeight, etc.)
• containerStyle: Overrides the toast container styling (backgroundColor, borderRadius, padding, etc.)

The custom styles are merged with the default styles, so you only need to specify the properties you want to change.

Requirements

• React Native >= 0.60.0
• React >= 16.8.0
