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.

Behavior

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.

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.

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.

Label, not a data equivalentShips sr-only copy

Ships sr-only copy for what the visual carries by position, colour or icon alone — a label, not a full data equivalent.

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 = 320

Declared, not assumed. Below 320 CSS px the preflight contract draws a dev-mode outline — how to switch it on.

Coverage gate
not in the gate

The 100% gate currently covers src/charts/**/*.{ts,tsx} and src/lib/**/*.{ts,tsx} and src/primitives/{button-variants,data-state-model,meter-scale,skeleton-variants}.ts and src/primitives/{alert,aspect-ratio,avatar,badge,box,breadcrumb,button,callout,card,checkbox,code-editor,container,data-state,focus-ring,grade-badge,grid,input,label,meter,pagination,published-date,reading-time,section,section-boundary,separator,skip-link,stack,stat-strip,tag,textarea,typography,visually-hidden}.tsx and src/patterns/lint-playground.tsx. This file is outside it — the glob widens in phase 7.2.

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.

Import

9 named exports — pull the parts you need.

Public API
import { MIN_VIEWPORT, Toast, ToastClose, ToastDescription, ToastProvider, ToastTitle, ToastTrigger, ToastViewport, toastVariants } from '@/components/ui/toast';

Anatomy

Extracted from the primitive's JSDoc header. The source is the only documentation that can't drift.

ToastProvider (Base UI manager — owns the timer/limit context)
    └─ ToastViewport (data-slot, portalled container)
        └─ Toast (root · data-slot · data-min-viewport · tone strip)
            ├─ ToastTitle      (data-slot)
            ├─ ToastDescription (data-slot, muted)
            └─ ToastClose      (data-slot, top-right X)

Variants

Closed prop unions enforced by class-variance-authority. See Storybook's Variants story for the rendered matrix.

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.

PropTypeDescription
toastToastRootBaseProps['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.

PropTypeDescription
titleReact.ReactNodeToast title surfaced to assistive tech.
descriptionReact.ReactNodeToast body text.
toneNonNullable<VariantProps<typeof toastVariants>['tone']>Tone forwarded to Toast root via `type` so consumers can branch on it.
renderuseRender.RenderPropReplace 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
  • role="status"
  • aria-label

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.

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.

Opt-in to the dev-mode warning
<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.
