Flutter Toast
Flutter Toast is a lightweight package that allows developers to show toast notifications in Flutter applications. Toast notifications are a popular way to provide users with feedback or information in a non-intrusive way that doesn't require them to take action.
Syntax
The syntax for using Flutter Toast is as follows:
import 'package:fluttertoast/fluttertoast.dart';
Fluttertoast.showToast(
msg: "This is a toast notification",
toastLength: Toast.LENGTH_SHORT,
gravity: ToastGravity.CENTER,
timeInSecForIosWeb: 1,
backgroundColor: Colors.red,
textColor: Colors.white,
fontSize: 16.0
);
Example
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:fluttertoast/fluttertoast.dart';
class MyButton extends StatelessWidget {
const MyButton({Key key}) : super(key: key);
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return RaisedButton(
child: Text('Show Toast'),
onPressed: () {
Fluttertoast.showToast(
msg: 'This is a toast notification',
toastLength: Toast.LENGTH_SHORT,
gravity: ToastGravity.BOTTOM,
);
},
);
}
}
In this example, we have created a RaisedButton
with an onPressed
event that calls Fluttertoast.showToast()
to display a toast notification when the button is pressed.
Output
The output of this example is a small toast notification that appears temporarily on the screen. The notification contains the message "This is a toast notification", and is displayed at the bottom of the screen.
Explanation
Flutter Toast provides developers with a simple and easy-to-use way to show toast notifications in Flutter applications. It offers a range of customization options, such as changing the duration of the notification, its position on the screen, and its background color.

Developers can use Flutter Toast to:
- Provide users with non-intrusive feedback or information
- Display successful or failed operations
