Documentation

Toastify({
  text: "This is a toast",
  duration: 3000, 
  destination: "https://github.com/apvarun/toastify-js",
  newWindow: true,
  close: true,
  gravity: "top", // `top` or `bottom`
  position: 'left', // `left`, `center` or `right`
  backgroundColor: "linear-gradient(to right, #00b09b, #96c93d)",
  stopOnFocus: true, // Prevents dismissing of toast on hover
  onClick: function(){} // Callback after click
}).showToast();

Toast messages will be centered on devices with screen width less than 360px.

• See the changelog

Add own custom classes

If you want to use custom classes on the toast for customizing (like info or warning for example), you can do that as follows:

Toastify({
  text: "This is a toast",
  backgroundColor: "linear-gradient(to right, #00b09b, #96c93d)",
  className: "info",
}).showToast();

Multiple classes also can be assigned as a string, with spaces between class names.

Add some offset

If you want to add offset to the toast, you can do that as follows:

Toastify({
  text: "This is a toast with offset",
  offset: {
    x: 50, // horizontal axis - can be a number or a string indicating unity. eg: '2em'
    y: 10 // vertical axis - can be a number or a string indicating unity. eg: '2em'
  },
}).showToast();

Toast will be pushed 50px from right in x axis and 10px from top in y axis.

Note:

If position is equals to left, it will be pushed from left. If gravity is equals to bottom, it will be pushed from bottom.
