Toasts

Push notifications to your visitors with a toast, a lightweight and easily customizable alert message.

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.

Bootstrap Toasts documentation

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.

                    
                      <div class="toast" role="alert" aria-live="assertive" aria-atomic="true">
                        <div class="toast-header">
                          <img src="..." class="rounded me-2" alt="...">
                          <strong class="me-auto">Bootstrap</strong>
                          <small>11 mins ago</small>
                          <button type="button" class="ms-2 mb-1 btn-close" data-dismiss="toast" aria-label="Close"></button>
                        </div>
                        <div class="toast-body">
                          Hello, world! This is a toast message.
                        </div>
                      </div>

Stacking

When you have multiple toasts, we default to vertically stacking them in a readable manner.

                    
                      <div class="toast fade show mb-3" role="alert" aria-live="assertive" aria-atomic="true">
                        <div class="toast-header">
                          <img src="..." class="rounded me-2" alt="...">
                          <strong class="me-auto">Bootstrap</strong>
                          <small>just now</small>
                          <button type="button" class="ms-2 mb-1 btn-close" data-dismiss="toast" aria-label="Close"></button>
                        </div>
                        <div class="toast-body">
                          See? Just like this.
                        </div>
                      </div>
                      <div class="toast fade show" role="alert" aria-live="assertive" aria-atomic="true">
                        <div class="toast-header">
                        <img src="..." class="rounded me-2" alt="...">
                          <strong class="me-auto">Bootstrap</strong>
                          <small>2 seconds ago</small>
                          <button type="button" class="ms-2 mb-1 btn-close" data-dismiss="toast" aria-label="Close"></button>
                        </div>
                        <div class="toast-body">
                          Heads up, toasts will stack automatically
                        </div>
                      </div>

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.

                    
                      <div aria-live="polite" aria-atomic="true" style="position: relative; min-height: 200px;">
                        <div class="toast fade show" role="alert" aria-live="assertive" aria-atomic="true" style="position: absolute; top: 0; right: 0;">
                          <div class="toast-header">
                            <img src="..." class="rounded me-2" alt="...">
                            <strong class="me-auto">Bootstrap</strong>
                            <small>just now</small>
                            <button type="button" class="ms-2 mb-1 btn-close" data-dismiss="toast" aria-label="Close"></button>
                          </div>
                          <div class="toast-body">
                            See? Just like this.
                          </div>
                        </div>
                      </div>
