CustomToast

CustomToast is an enhanced toast notification system for Flutter that provides more flexibility and visual appeal than standard snackbars. Built using Flutter's Overlay API, it displays non-intrusive messages that automatically disappear after a set duration. Key features include customizable positioning, animations, icons, and dismissal controls.

✨ Features

• Multiple display positions (top, center, bottom)
• Smooth animations with customizable curves/durations
• Icon support for visual feedback
• Flexible styling (colors, padding, corners)
• Dismissible with tap gesture
• Auto-sizing for message content
• Shadow effects for better visibility
• Callback support when toast closes

🚀 Installation

Add the dependency to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:

⚙️ Configuration Options

🌟 Best Practices

1. Use for Non-Critical Messages

   • Toasts should inform, not interrupt
   • For critical actions, use dialogs instead

2. Keep Duration Appropriate

   • 2-3 seconds for simple confirmations
   • 4-5 seconds for complex information

3. Visual Hierarchy

   // Success
   CustomToast.show(context,
     message: "Saved!",
     icon: Icons.check,
     backgroundColor: Colors.green,
   );
   
   // Error  
   CustomToast.show(context,
     message: "Failed to save",
     icon: Icons.error_outline,
     backgroundColor: Colors.red,
   );
   

4. Positioning Guidelines

   • Bottom: Default for most actions
   • Top: System-level notifications
   • Center: Important but non-blocking
