Toast
Transient, portal-mounted notification. Wraps `@base-ui/react/toast` (Provider, Portal, Viewport, Root, Title, Description, Close) and overlays the Interlace tone system on top — four semantic tones (`info`, `success`, `warning`, `danger`) that each render…

Rendered from the story the storybook (a11y) CI gate runs axe against — the preview can't show something that hasn't been verified.
Install
Two equivalent paths — the URL works in any shadcn-CLI setup; the alias works once you've registered @interlace in your components.json.

What this component does — the keyboard path, the measured colour, the text equivalent and the states it can be in. Every figure below is read out of the test or the source that enforces it by scripts/build-behavior-map.mjs, so nothing here can outlive the gate that keeps it true.
Measured contrast
packages/ui/__tests__/theme-contract-lock.test.ts ↗Every semantic colour pair this component's own source uses, measured against the shipped hexes in all 4 theme × scheme combinations. The tightest is destructive on background at 7.60:1 (harbor · light), against a floor of 3:1.

Text pairs are held to 4.5:1 (WCAG 2.2 SC 1.4.3); borders, rings and chart axes to 3:1 (SC 1.4.11 non-text). Bold is the worst cell in the row — the one a brand fork has to keep an eye on.
Text equivalent
packages/ui/src/primitives/toast.tsx ↗A chart's alt text is not a sentence about the chart — the equivalent of the data is the data. This is what a screen reader gets, read out of the source the install writes into your tree.
Ships sr-only copy for what the visual carries by position, colour or icon alone — a label, not a full data equivalent.
Runtime contract
packages/ui/vitest.config.ts ↗Where it renders, how narrow it survives, and whether its lines are inside the coverage gate — three answers a consumer needs before the paste, not after the bug.
- Render boundary
'use client'Hydrates. It brings JavaScript to any route that imports it — put the boundary here, not at the page.
- Minimum viewport
MIN_VIEWPORT = 320Declared, not assumed. Below 320 CSS px the preflight contract draws a dev-mode outline — how to switch it on.

History
This component is at v1.2.0, first shipped in @interlace/ui 1.0.0. The version is stamped as a banner into the file the install writes, so the copy in your tree says which one you have — compare it with the number above before deciding whether to re-run the install.
@interlace/ui 1.0.01 entry
- Addedminor
The component floor reaches every tier: form, overlay, navigation and display primitives were modelled to the portable 26-rule floor with skeletons, locked breakpoints, and AA contrast measured per composite rather than eyeballed.

API reference
Parsed from the type declarations in the source — the same file the install writes into your tree, so this table can't drift from the component you get.
ToastViewportProps
Also accepts every prop of Base UI's <Toast.Viewport> — behaviour we compose rather than reimplement.
ToastRootBaseProps
Also accepts every prop of Base UI's <Toast.Root> — behaviour we compose rather than reimplement.
ToastProps
Plus the variant props listed above.
| Prop | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| toast | ToastRootBaseProps['toast'] | Base UI toast object from `useToastManager().toasts[i]`. Optional for static render. |
ToastTitleProps
Also accepts every prop of Base UI's <Toast.Title> — behaviour we compose rather than reimplement.
ToastDescriptionProps
Also accepts every prop of Base UI's <Toast.Description> — behaviour we compose rather than reimplement.
ToastCloseProps
Also accepts every prop of Base UI's <Toast.Close> — behaviour we compose rather than reimplement.
ToastTriggerProps
Also accepts every <button> attribute. Plus the variant props listed above.
| Prop | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| title | React.ReactNode | Toast title surfaced to assistive tech. |
| description | React.ReactNode | Toast body text. |
| tone | NonNullable<VariantProps<typeof toastVariants>['tone']> | Tone forwarded to Toast root via `type` so consumers can branch on it. |
| render | useRender.RenderProp | Replace the rendered element (e.g. `<Button>`). Same seam as Button. |
Accessibility
Every story for this component is rendered headlessly and checked with axe-core (wcag2aa, wcag22aa, best-practice, ACT) on every PR. That gate has no continue-on-error, so what ships has zero known violations.
What follows is what static analysis can see. Axe cannot press a key and never sees an overlay open, so the operable-without-a-mouse claim lives in Behavior instead, where the keyboard path is replayed step by step.
- Focus + keyboard behaviour
- Owned by @base-ui/react/toast — focus trapping, dismissal and typeahead come from the headless primitive, not from us.
- Focus ring (WCAG 2.2 SC 2.4.13)
- Inherited from the preflight focus contract shipped in @interlace/theme.
- Reduced motion
- Animation is gated on prefers-reduced-motion.
- ARIA in the source

R-rule compliance
Every primitive in @interlace/ui models to the portable 26-rule floor enforced by the componentApi ESLint preset. The cells below pin exactly where each rule applies in this file.
| Rule | Concept | Where |
|---|---|---|
| R4 | Extends Base UI part + variants | `React.ComponentProps<typeof BaseToast.Root>` + cva tone |
| R6 | data-slot on every named part | data-slot="toast" / "-title" / "-description" / "-close" / "-viewport" / "-provider" |
| R7 | className merged + ...rest | `cn(toastVariants({ tone }), className)` + `{...props}` on every part |
| R8 | No `isXxx`; enum for >2 states | `tone` enum: info / success / warning / danger |
| R13 | Build with the ecosystem | `@base-ui/react/toast` owns lifecycle, ARIA, focus, portal |
| R14 | Declares min viewport | `data-min-viewport={String(MIN_VIEWPORT)}` + exported const |
| R17 | API parity with Base UI + shadcn | Re-exports mirror Base UI part names with Interlace prefix |
| R18 | Tailwind only | Zero inline `style`; cva + static animation classes only |
| R19 | Tokens only | `bg-card` / `text-card-foreground` / `border-border` / `rounded-md` / `shadow-lg` / padding from `--spacing-md` |
| R20 | AA contrast | card + card-foreground are AA-cleared in light + dark; tone strip is a non-text channel |
| R23 | CLS=0 | Animations are transform/opacity only; viewport portals out of the layout flow |
| R26 | A11y from headless primitive | role / aria-live / focus-trap inherited from Base UI Root |
Minimum viewport
This primitive declares MIN_VIEWPORT = 320 CSS px (DESIGN_PRINCIPLES #14). When mounted in a container narrower than this, the preflight contract draws a dev-mode outline so the regression is visible during local development.
<body data-interlace-dev>...</body>
Add the data-interlace-dev attribute to the body in development builds only — preflight then outlines any primitive whose container is below its declared data-min-viewport.
