Positioning

Top Position

  description: const Text("Displayed at the top"),
  toastAlignment: Alignment.topCenter,
  animationType: AnimationType.slideInFromTop,
).show(context);

Center Position

  description: const Text("هذا مثال بالعربية"),
  layoutOrientation: TextDirection.rtl,
  animationType: AnimationType.slideInFromRight,
  width: 300,
).show(context);

Two-Color Toast

Use primary and secondary colors for visual emphasis:

MotionToast(
  icon: Icons.zoom_out,
  primaryColor: Colors.orange[500]!,
  secondaryColor: Colors.grey,

  toastAlignment: Alignment.center,
  height: 100,
  width: 300,
).show(context);

Custom Styling

Without Sidebar and With Border

MotionToast(
  icon: Icons.zoom_out,

  description: const Text("No sidebar with visible border"),
  displayBorder: true,

Sequential Toasts

Display toasts one after another using the onClose callback:

MotionToast.success(

  description: const Text("Your data has been saved"),
  onClose: () {
    MotionToast.info(
      title: const Text("Info"),
      description: const Text("Next notification"),
    ).show(context);
  },
).show(context);

Programmatic Dismiss

Store the toast instance and dismiss it programmatically:

MotionToast toast = MotionToast(
  icon: Icons.alarm,
  primaryColor: Colors.blue,
  title: const Text("Custom Toast"),
  description: const Text("This toast can be dismissed"),
).show(context);

// Later, dismiss it programmatically
Future.delayed(const Duration(seconds: 2), () {
  toast.dismiss();
});

Troubleshooting

Toast not appearing

• Ensure you're calling .show(context) on the MotionToast instance
• Verify the context is from a widget within a MaterialApp or CupertinoApp
• Check that toastDuration is sufficient to see the toast

Animation issues

• Try adjusting animationDuration for slower/faster animations
• Change animationCurve to experiment with different timing
• Ensure enableAnimation is true if you want the heartbeat effect

Multiple toasts overlapping

• Use onClose callback to show toasts sequentially
• Use different toastAlignment values to position toasts in different areas
• Increase toastDuration to give toasts time to display
