Implementing Feedback Toast in a React Application
Step 1: Set Up Your React Application: If you’re starting from scratch, create a new React application:
npx create-react-app my-chakra-app
cd my-chakra-app
Step 2: Install Chakra UI: Ensure that Chakra UI is installed in your project:
npm install @chakra-ui/react @emotion/react @emotion/styled framer-motion
Step 3: Setup ChakraProvider: In your index.js or App.js, wrap your application with ChakraProvider:
Javascript
import { ChakraProvider } from '@chakra-ui/react';ReactDOM.render( <ChakraProvider> <App /> </ChakraProvider>, document.getElementById('root')); |
Step 4: Using Feedback Toast: In your App.js, import the useToast hook from Chakra UI:
import { useToast } from '@chakra-ui/react';
Step 5: Customize the Toast: Chakra UI’s Feedback Toast is highly customizable. You can adjust the title, description, status, duration, position, and more to fit your application’s needs.
Then, implement the Feedback Toast within a component. In this example, a button triggers a toast notification with a success message.
Javascript
import React from 'react';import { Button, useToast } from '@chakra-ui/react';function App() { // Toast hook const toast = useToast(); // Function to show the toast const showToast = () => { toast({ title: "Action successful", description: "Your changes have been saved.", status: "success", duration: 5000, isClosable: true, position: "bottom-left" }); }; return ( <div style={{ padding: 20 }}> <Button colorScheme="blue" onClick={showToast}> Show Toast </Button> </div> );}export default App; |

Chakra UI Feedback Toast
Chakra Feedback Toast allows developers to display brief, non-intrusive messages to users. The Chakra toast is designed to provide lightweight feedback about an operation or notification. For example, a toast can alert a user that their settings were saved successfully after submitting a form. Toasts will display for a few seconds and then automatically dismiss. This keeps them from blocking the user interface or disrupting workflow.
