6.1 Creating toast
A UDI can create “toast”: a short-lived pop-up message to the user, displayed at the edge of the screen. You create toast using the UDI.createToast() function. This takes two parameters: a definition of the toast to display, and an optional callback function which receives a notification if the user clicks on the toast. For example:
The available options for toast are described in full in the Framework reference, but the key values are as follows:
Property | Description |
text | Body text of the notification |
title | Title for the notification. (Not compulsory.) |
icon | Hexadecimal code of an icon in the FontAwesome set, such as "f05a" for an info icon. (Not compulsory.) |
lifespan | Lifespan of the toast in seconds, overriding the app's default |
