Toasts

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 component:

Toasts use a lightweight Toast class that extends BaseComponent — show and hide via Toast.getOrCreateInstance(el).show() / .hide().
Autohide is CSS-driven via animation — toasts hide after 5s by default. Customize with the --bs-toast-delay CSS custom property.
Dismiss buttons with data-bs-dismiss="toast" work automatically via a delegated click handler.
Toasts fire custom events (show.bs.toast, shown.bs.toast, hide.bs.toast, hidden.bs.toast) that can be prevented.
Toasts pause their autohide timer on hover and focus-within.

The animation effect of this component is dependent on the prefers-reduced-motion media query. See the reduced motion section of our accessibility documentation.

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.

Hello, world! This is a toast message.

Live example

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

Hello, world! This is a toast message.

HTML

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

<div class="toast-container position-fixed bottom-0 end-0 p-3">
  <div id="liveToast" class="toast" role="alert" aria-live="assertive" aria-atomic="true">

    </div>
    <div class="toast-body">
      Hello, world! This is a toast message.
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

We use the following JavaScript to trigger our live toast demo:

JavaScript

const toastTrigger = document.getElementById('liveToastBtn')
const toastLiveExample = document.getElementById('liveToast')

if (toastTrigger) {
  const toastInstance = bootstrap.Toast.getOrCreateInstance(toastLiveExample)
  toastTrigger.addEventListener('click', () => {
    toastInstance.show()
  })
}

Translucent

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

Stacking

You can stack toasts by wrapping them in a toast container, which will vertically add some spacing.

See? Just like this.

Heads up, toasts will stack automatically

Custom content

Customize your toasts by removing sub-components, tweaking them with utilities, or by adding your own markup. Here we’ve created a simpler toast by removing the default .toast-header, adding a custom hide icon from Bootstrap Icons, and using some flexbox utilities to adjust the layout.

Hello, world! This is a toast message.

HTML

<div class="toast align-items-center" role="alert" aria-live="assertive" aria-atomic="true">
  <div class="d-flex">
    <div class="toast-body">
      Hello, world! This is a toast message.
    </div>
    <button type="button" class="btn-close me-2 m-auto" data-bs-dismiss="toast" aria-label="Close">
      <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 16 16" width="20" height="20" fill="none">
      <path fill="currentcolor" d="M12 0a4 4 0 0 1 4 4v8a4 4 0 0 1-4 4H4a4 4 0 0 1-4-4V4a4 4 0 0 1 4-4zm-.646 4.646a.5.5 0 0 0-.707 0L8 7.293 5.354 4.646a.5.5 0 1 0-.708.708L7.293 8l-2.647 2.647a.5.5 0 1 0 .708.707L8 8.707l2.647 2.646a.5.5 0 1 0 .707-.707L8.707 8l2.646-2.646a.5.5 0 0 0 0-.708z"/>
    </svg>
    </button>
  </div>
</div>

Alternatively, you can also add additional controls and components to toasts.

Hello, world! This is a toast message.

HTML

<div class="toast" role="alert" aria-live="assertive" aria-atomic="true">
  <div class="toast-body">
    Hello, world! This is a toast message.
    <div class="mt-2 pt-2 border-top">
      <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Take action</button>
      <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary btn-sm" data-bs-dismiss="toast">Close</button>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Color schemes

Building on the above example, you can create different toast color schemes with our color and background utilities. Here we’ve added .text-bg-primary to the .toast. For a crisp edge, we remove the default border with .border-0.

Hello, world! This is a toast message.

HTML

<div class="toast align-items-center text-bg-primary border-0" role="alert" aria-live="assertive" aria-atomic="true">

Status toasts

Combine color utilities with inline SVG icons for clear success, error, and warning feedback. Use text-bg-* with border-0 for bold, full-color toasts.

With icon badges

For a subtler look, pair a neutral toast background with small colored icon circles. The badge draws the eye to the status without overwhelming the message.

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.

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

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. 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 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 --bs-toast-delay value so that users have enough time to read the toast.

HTML

<div class="toast" role="alert" aria-live="polite" aria-atomic="true" style="--bs-toast-delay: 10s">
  <div role="alert" aria-live="assertive" aria-atomic="true">...</div>
</div>

When disabling autohide, you must add a close button to allow users to dismiss the toast.

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 --bs-toast-delay, 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 a very long --bs-toast-delay.

CSS

Variables

Toasts use local CSS variables on .toast for real-time customization. Values for the CSS variables are set via Sass, so Sass customization is still supported, too.

SCSS

--toast-zindex: #{$zindex-toast};
--toast-padding-x: #{$toast-padding-x};
--toast-padding-y: #{$toast-padding-y};
--toast-spacing: #{$toast-spacing};
--toast-max-width: #{$toast-max-width};
--toast-font-size: #{$toast-font-size};
--toast-color: #{$toast-color};
--toast-bg: #{$toast-background-color};
--toast-border-width: #{$toast-border-width};
--toast-border-color: #{$toast-border-color};
--toast-border-radius: #{$toast-border-radius};
--toast-box-shadow: #{$toast-box-shadow};
--toast-header-color: #{$toast-header-color};
--toast-header-bg: #{$toast-header-background-color};
--toast-header-border-color: #{$toast-header-border-color};
--toast-delay: 5s;

Usage

Show and hide toasts via the Toast class, which provides instance methods and custom events.

Show and hide

JavaScript

const myToastEl = document.getElementById('myToast')
const toast = bootstrap.Toast.getOrCreateInstance(myToastEl)

// Show a toast
toast.show()

// Hide a toast
toast.hide()

Autohide delay

Toasts automatically hide after 5s by default. Customize the delay with the --bs-toast-delay CSS custom property:

HTML

<!-- Custom 10-second delay -->
<div class="toast" style="--bs-toast-delay: 10s">...</div>

<!-- Effectively disable autohide -->
<div class="toast" style="--bs-toast-delay: 99999s">...</div>

You can also set the delay programmatically:

JavaScript

document.getElementById('myToast').style.setProperty('--bs-toast-delay', '10s')

Dismiss

Dismissal is handled automatically via a delegated click handler. Add data-bs-dismiss="toast" to a button within the toast:

HTML

<button type="button" class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="toast" aria-label="Close"></button>

Pause on interaction

Toasts pause their autohide countdown when hovered or when they contain a focused element (:focus-within). This is handled entirely via CSS animation-play-state.

Events

Event	Description
`show.bs.toast`	Fires immediately when the `show` instance method is called.
`shown.bs.toast`	Fired when the toast has been made visible.
`hide.bs.toast`	Fires immediately when the `hide` instance method is called.
`hidden.bs.toast`	Fired when the toast has been hidden.

JavaScript

const myToastEl = document.getElementById('myToast')

myToastEl.addEventListener('hidden.bs.toast', () => {
  // do something when the toast is hidden
})
