Toasts are short messages that appear usually near the bottom of the screen for a brief moment. They are mostly used for quick notifications in mobile apps. Ionic 2 makes it easy to implement toasts in your apps:
import { ToastController } from 'ionic-angular';
Then you inject ToastController in your component’s class constructor:
constructor(public toastCtrl: ToastController) {}
And now let’s create a 2-second toast in a favoriteRecipe() method that indicates to the user that the recipe was added to their favorites:
favoriteRecipe() {
this.favorite = true;
let toast = this.toastCtrl.create({
message: `Added to your favorites!`,
duration: 2000
});
toast.present();
}
The present() method on the toast will display it. dismiss() can also be called on toasts to close them.
On top of message and duration, here are a few more options that you can set on toasts:
