Animated Toast

A global alert built with Radix UI and Framer Motion.

Demo

Usage

Add the Provider to your app:

import { ToastProvider } from "./toast";

export default function RootLayout({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode;
}) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>
        <ToastProvider>{children}</ToastProvider>
      </body>
    </html>
  );
}

then use the Hook to render new messages:

"use client";

import { useToast } from "./toast";

export default function Form() {
  let { showToast } = useToast();

  return (
    <form
      action={() => {
        showToast("User saved!");
      }}
    >
      <button type="submit">Save</button>
    </form>
  );
}

Code

// toast.tsx
"use client";

import { XMarkIcon } from "@heroicons/react/20/solid";
import * as RadixToast from "@radix-ui/react-toast";
import { AnimatePresence, motion } from "framer-motion";
import {
  ElementRef,
  ReactNode,
  createContext,
  forwardRef,
  useContext,
  useState,
} from "react";

const ToastContext = createContext<{
  showToast: (text: string) => void;
}>({
  showToast: () => {
    throw new Error(
      "You can't call showToast() outside of a <ToastProvider> – add it to your tree."
    );
  },
});

export function useToast() {
  return useContext(ToastContext);
}

export function ToastProvider({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) {
  const [messages, setMessages] = useState<{ id: string; text: string }[]>([]);

  function showToast(text: string) {
    setMessages((toasts) => [
      ...toasts,
      {
        id: window.crypto.randomUUID(),
        text,
      },
    ]);
  }

  return (

      <ToastContext.Provider value={{ showToast }}>
        {children}
