Issue
I am trying to figure out how to show toasts on my Appsmith app. I am not sure whether to use the system toast or an external library. I have tried some external libraries, but they don't seem to work with Appsmith. I am looking for recommendations on which external library to use, if necessary.
Resolution
The recommended way to show toasts in Appsmith is by using the showAlert() call, which is a built-in function that displays a temporary toast-style alert message to the user for 5 seconds. This eliminates the need for an external library.
To use showAlert(), simply call it with a message parameter that contains the text you want to display in the toast notification. For example:
showAlert("Data saved successfully!");
This will display a notification with the message "Data saved successfully!" that will automatically disappear after 5 seconds.
By using the built-in showAlert() function, you don't have to worry about compatibility issues with external libraries, and can easily customize the style and behavior of the toast notifications to fit your app's needs.
For more information about the showAlert() function, please refer to our docs.
