API Reference

Provider

The provider that wraps your toasts and toast viewport. It usually wraps the application.

Prop	Default	Type
`duration`	`5000`	`number` Time in milliseconds that each toast should remain visible for.
`label`	`'Notification'`	`string` An author-localized label for each toast. Used to help screen reader users associate the interruption with a toast.
`swipeDirection`	`'right'`	`SwipeDirection` Direction of pointer swipe that should close the toast.
`swipeThreshold`	`50`	`number` Distance in pixels that the swipe must pass before a close is triggered.

Viewport

The fixed area where toasts appear. Users can jump to the viewport by pressing a hotkey. It is up to you to ensure the discoverability of the hotkey for keyboard users.

Prop	Default	Type
`as`	`'ol'`	`AsTag \| Component` The element or component this component should render as. Can be overwrite by `asChild`
`asChild`		`boolean` Setting `asChild` to true has the same effect as setting `as` to `template`.
`hotkey`	`VIEWPORT_DEFAULT_HOTKEY`	`string[]` The keys to use as the keyboard shortcut that will move focus to the toast viewport.
`label`	`'Notifications ({hotkey})'`	`string` An author-localized label for the toast viewport to provide context for screen reader users when navigating page landmarks. The available `{hotkey}` placeholder will be replaced for you.

Root

The toast that automatically closes. It should not be held open to acquire a user response.

Prop	Default	Type
`as`	`'li'`	`AsTag \| Component` The element or component this component should render as. Can be overwrite by `asChild`
`asChild`		`boolean` Setting `asChild` to true has the same effect as setting `as` to `template`.
`defaultOpen`	`true`	`boolean` The open state of the dialog when it is initially rendered. Use when you do not need to control its open state.
`duration`		`number` Time in milliseconds that toast should remain visible for. Overrides value given to `ToastProvider`.
`forceMount`		`boolean` Used to force mounting when more control is needed. Useful when controlling animation with Vue animation libraries.
`open`		`boolean` The controlled open state of the dialog. Can be bind as `v-model:open`.
`type`	`'foreground'`	`'foreground' \| 'background'` Control the sensitivity of the toast for accessibility purposes. For toasts that are the result of a user action, choose `foreground`. Toasts generated from background tasks should use `background`.

Emit	Type
`escapeKeyDown`	`[event: KeyboardEvent]`
`pause`	`[]`
`resume`	`[]`
`swipeCancel`	`[event: SwipeEvent]`
`swipeEnd`	`[event: SwipeEvent]`
`swipeMove`	`[event: SwipeEvent]`
`swipeStart`	`[event: SwipeEvent]`
`update:open`	`[value: boolean]`

Data Attribute	Value
`[data-state]`	`"open" \| "closed"`
`[data-swipe]`	`"start" \| "move" \| "cancel" \| "end"`
`[data-swipe-direction]`	`"up" \| "down" \| "left" \| "right"`

CSS Variable	Description
`--radix-toast-swipe-move-x`	The offset position of the toast when horizontally swiping
`--radix-toast-swipe-move-y`	The offset position of the toast when vertically swiping
`--radix-toast-swipe-end-x`	The offset end position of the toast after horizontally swiping
`--radix-toast-swipe-end-y`	The offset end position of the toast after vertically swiping

Title

An optional title for the toast

Prop	Default	Type
`as`	`'div'`	`AsTag \| Component` The element or component this component should render as. Can be overwrite by `asChild`
`asChild`		`boolean` Setting `asChild` to true has the same effect as setting `as` to `template`.

Description

The toast message.

Prop	Default	Type
`as`	`'div'`	`AsTag \| Component` The element or component this component should render as. Can be overwrite by `asChild`
`asChild`		`boolean` Setting `asChild` to true has the same effect as setting `as` to `template`.

Action

An action that is safe to ignore to ensure users are not expected to complete tasks with unexpected side effects as a result of a time limit.

When obtaining a user response is necessary, portal an "AlertDialog" styled as a toast into the viewport instead.

Prop	Default	Type
`altText*`		`string` A short description for an alternate way to carry out the action. For screen reader users who will not be able to navigate to the button easily/quickly.
`as`	`'div'`	`AsTag \| Component` The element or component this component should render as. Can be overwrite by `asChild`
`asChild`		`boolean` Setting `asChild` to true has the same effect as setting `as` to `template`.

Close

A button that allows users to dismiss the toast before its duration has elapsed.

Prop	Default	Type
`as`	`'button'`	`AsTag \| Component` The element or component this component should render as. Can be overwrite by `asChild`
`asChild`		`boolean` Setting `asChild` to true has the same effect as setting `as` to `template`.

Examples

Custom hotkey

Override the default hotkey using the event.code value for each key from keycode.info.

html

<ToastProvider>
  ...
  <ToastViewport :hotkey="['altKey', 'KeyT']" />
</ToastProvider>

Custom duration

Customise the duration of a toast to override the provider value.

vue

<ToastRoot :duration="3000">
  <ToastDescription>Saved!</ToastDescription>
</ToastRoot>

Duplicate toasts

When a toast must appear every time a user clicks a button, use state to render multiple instances of the same toast (see below). Alternatively, you can abstract the parts to create your own imperative API.

html

<div>
  <form  @submit="count++">
    ...
    <button>save</button>
  </form>

  <ToastRoot v-for="(_, index) in count" :key="index">
    <ToastDescription>Saved!</ToastDescription>
  </ToastRoot>
</div>

Animating swipe gesture

html

<ToastProvider swipeDirection="right">
  <ToastRoot class="ToastRoot">...</ToastRoot>
  <ToastViewport />
</ToastProvider>

css

/* styles.css */
.ToastRoot[data-swipe='move'] {
  transform: translateX(var(--radix-toast-swipe-move-x));
}
.ToastRoot[data-swipe='cancel'] {
  transform: translateX(0);
  transition: transform 200ms ease-out;
}
.ToastRoot[data-swipe='end'] {
  animation: slideRight 100ms ease-out;
}

@keyframes slideRight {
  from {
    transform: translateX(var(--radix-toast-swipe-end-x));
  }
  to {
    transform: translateX(100%);
  }
}

Accessibility

Adheres to the aria-live requirements.

Sensitivity

Control the sensitivity of the toast for screen readers using the type prop.

For toasts that are the result of a user action, choose foreground. Toasts generated from background tasks should use background.

Foreground

Foreground toasts are announced immediately. Assistive technologies may choose to clear previously queued messages when a foreground toast appears. Try to avoid stacking distinct foreground toasts at the same time.

Background

Background toasts are announced at the next graceful opportunity, for example, when the screen reader has finished reading its current sentence. They do not clear queued messages so overusing them can be perceived as a laggy user experience for screen reader users when used in response to a user interaction.

html

<ToastRoot type="foreground">
  <ToastDescription>File removed successfully.</ToastDescription>
  <ToastClose>Dismiss</ToastClose>
</ToastRoot>

<ToastRoot type="background">
  <ToastDescription>We've just released Radix 1.0.</ToastDescription>
  <ToastClose>Dismiss</ToastClose>
</ToastRoot>

Alternative action

Use the altText prop on the Action to instruct an alternative way of actioning the toast to screen reader users.

You can direct the user to a permanent place in your application where they can action it or implement your own custom hotkey logic. If implementing the latter, use foreground type to announce immediately and increase the duration to give the user ample time.

html

<ToastRoot type="background">
  <ToastTitle>Upgrade Available!</ToastTitle>
  <ToastDescription>We've just released Radix 1.0.</ToastDescription>
  <ToastAction altText="Goto account settings to upgrade">
    Upgrade
  </ToastAction>
  <ToastClose>Dismiss</ToastClose>
</ToastRoot>

<ToastRoot type="foreground" :duration="10000">
  <ToastDescription>File removed successfully.</ToastDescription>
  <ToastAction altText="Undo (Alt+U)">
    Undo <kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>U</kbd>
  </ToastAction>
  <ToastClose>Dismiss</ToastClose>
</ToastRoot>

Close icon button

When providing an icon (or font icon), remember to label it correctly for screen reader users.

html

<ToastRoot type="foreground">
  <ToastDescription>Saved!</ToastDescription>
  <ToastClose aria-label="Close">
    <span aria-hidden>×</span>
  </ToastClose>
</ToastRoot>

Keyboard Interactions

function publish() {
  count.value++
}

defineExpose({
  publish
})
</script>

<template>
  <ToastRoot v-for="index in count" :key="index">
    <ToastDescription>
      <slot />
