Snackbar

The snackbar component is used to give feedback after certain actions.

The snackbar is used to show alerts on top of an overlay. The snackbar will close itself when the close button is clicked, or after a timeout — the default is 5 seconds.

Snackbars can be configured to appear at either the top or the bottom of an application window, and it is possible to have more than one snackbar onscreen at a time.

Import#

import { useSnackbar } from '@saas-ui/react'

Usage#

function SnackbarExample() {
const snackbar = useSnackbar()
return (
<Button
onClick={() =>
snackbar({
title: 'Account created.',
description: "We've created your account for you.",
status: 'success',
duration: 9000,
isClosable: true,
})
}
>
Show Snackbar
</Button>
)
}

Make sure to call useSnackbar at least one component level below the <SaasProvider> or <ChakraProvider> because it needs access to the current theme.

Convenience methods#

Snackbar adds a bunch of convenience methods on top of the default useToast hook. You can either pass a snackbar options object or simply a string, which is a shorthand for {title: '...'}

function SnackbarExample() {
const snackbar = useSnackbar()
return (
<HStack spacing={4}>
<Button onClick={() => snackbar.info('Your account has been created.')}>
Show Info
</Button>
<Button
onClick={() => snackbar.success('Your account has been created.')}
>
Show Success
</Button>
<Button
onClick={() => snackbar.error("Your account couldn't be created.")}
>
Show Error
</Button>
<Button
onClick={() =>
snackbar.promise(
new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 10000)),
{
loading: 'Creating your account...',
success: 'Your account has been created.',
error: "Your account couldn't be created.",
}
)
}
>
Show Promise
</Button>
</HStack>
)
}

Action#

function SnackbarExample() {
const snackbar = useSnackbar()
return (
<Button
onClick={() =>
snackbar.success({
title: 'Email sent',
description: 'The email has been sent',
action: <Button variant="subtle">Undo</Button>,
})
}
>
Show Snackbar
</Button>
)
}

Custom component#

Display a custom component instead of the default Snackbar UI.

function CustomSnackbarExample() {
const snackbar = useSnackbar()
return (
<Button
onClick={() =>
snackbar({
position: 'bottom-left',
render: () => (
<Box color="white" p={3} bg="blue.500">
Hello World
</Box>
),
})
}
>
Show Snackbar
</Button>
)
}

Closing Snackbars#

Snackbars can be closed imperatively, individually (via the close instance method) or all together (via the closeAll instance method).

function ClosingSnackbarExample() {
const snackbar = useSnackbar()
const snackbarIdRef = React.useRef()
function close() {
if (snackbarIdRef.current) {
snackbar.close(snackbarIdRef.current)
}
}
function closeAll() {
// you may optionally pass an object of positions to exclusively close
// keeping other positions opened
// e.g. `{ positions: ['bottom'] }`
snackbar.closeAll()
}
function addSnackbar() {
snackbarIdRef.current = snackbar({ description: 'some text' })
}
return (
<Stack isInline spacing={2}>
<Button onClick={addSnackbar} type="button">
Snackbar
</Button>
<Button onClick={close} type="button" variant="outline">
Close last snackbar
</Button>
<Button onClick={closeAll} type="button" variant="outline">
Close all snackbars
</Button>
</Stack>
)
}

Updating Snackbars#

Snackbars' options can be updated, by passing an id and the new options to the update instance method.

function UpdatingSnackbarExample() {
const snackbar = useSnackbar()
const snackbarIdRef = React.useRef()
function update() {
if (snackbarIdRef.current) {
snackbar.update(snackbarIdRef.current, { description: 'new text' })
}
}
function addSnackbar() {
snackbarIdRef.current = snackbar({ description: 'some text' })
}
return (
<Stack isInline spacing={2}>
<Button onClick={addSnackbar} type="button">
Snackbar
</Button>
<Button onClick={update} type="button" variant="outline">
Update last snackbar
</Button>
</Stack>
)
}

Status#

You can use status to change the color of your snackbars.

function SnackbarStatusExample() {
const snackbar = useSnackbar()
const statuses = ['success', 'error', 'warning', 'info']
return (
<Wrap>
{statuses.map((status, i) => (
<WrapItem key={i}>
<Button
onClick={() =>
snackbar({
title: `${status} snackbar`,
status: status,
isClosable: true,
})
}
>
Show {status} snackbar
</Button>
</WrapItem>
))}
</Wrap>
)
}

Variants#

If you're using the Saas UI theme, Snackbar will automatically use the snackbar variant by default.

You can also use variants of the Alert component.

function SnackbarVariantsExample() {
const snackbar = useSnackbar()
const variants = ['snackbar', 'solid', 'subtle', 'left-accent', 'top-accent']
return (
<Wrap>
{variants.map((variant, i) => (
<WrapItem key={i}>
<Button
onClick={() =>
snackbar({
title: `${variant} snackbar`,
variant: variant,
isClosable: true,
})
}
>
Show {variant} snackbar
</Button>
</WrapItem>
))}
</Wrap>
)
}

Custom container styles#

The snackbar function now exposes a containerStyle property you can use to override the default styles for the snackbar container.

function Example() {
// Via instantiation
const snackbar = useSnackbar({
position: 'top',
title: 'Container style is updated',
containerStyle: {
width: '800px',
maxWidth: '100%',
},
})
// Or via trigger
// Style here will overwrite the entire style above
return (
<Button
onClick={() => {
snackbar({
containerStyle: {
border: '20px solid red',
},
})
}}
>
Click me to show snackbar with custom container style.
</Button>
)
}

Changing the snackbar position#

Using the position prop you can adjust where your snackbar will be popup from.

function PositionExample() {
const snackbar = useSnackbar()
const positions = [
'top',
'top-right',
'top-left',
'bottom',
'bottom-right',
'bottom-left',
]
return (
<Wrap>
{positions.map((position, i) => (
<WrapItem key={i}>
<Button
onClick={() =>
snackbar({
title: `${position} snackbar`,
position: position,
isClosable: true,
})
}
>
Show {position} snackbar
</Button>
</WrapItem>
))}
</Wrap>
)
}

Preventing Duplicate Snackbar#

In some cases you might need to prevent duplicate of specific snackbars. To achieve you need to pass an id and use the snackbar.isActive method to determine when to call snackbar(...).

function PreventDuplicateExample() {
const snackbar = useSnackbar()
const id = 'test-snackbar'
return (
<Button
onClick={() => {
if (!snackbar.isActive(id)) {
snackbar({
id,
title: 'Hey! You can create a duplicate snackbar',
})
}
}}
>
Click me!
</Button>
)
}
