Toast Notifications
Toast notifications are lightweight, non-intrusive UI components that display brief messages to users, typically appearing temporarily at the edge of a screen. They are commonly used in web and mobile applications to provide feedback on user actions, such as success confirmations, error alerts, or status updates, without interrupting the user's workflow. These notifications automatically disappear after a few seconds or can be dismissed manually by the user.
Developers should use toast notifications to enhance user experience by delivering immediate, contextual feedback without blocking the interface, making them ideal for actions like form submissions, file uploads, or system alerts. They are particularly valuable in modern applications where maintaining user flow is critical, such as in dashboards, e-commerce sites, or collaborative tools, as they reduce friction compared to modal dialogs or full-page messages.
