How to use?

Using ToastMaker is very simple. Create a toast by passing the text message, as shown in below example

ToastMaker('Hi There!');

If you want to change the default timeout, position, styling etc you can pass the optional arguments. Refer below example.

ToastMaker('Hi There!', 2000,  {
    styles: { fontSize: '18px', backgroundColor: 'green' },
    classList: ['custom-class', 'other-custom-class'],
    align: 'right',
    valign: 'top'
  });

Use your own styles and css classes

You can specify multiple styles or your own css classes using styles and classList options respectively. This is useful in case you want to change the background, font-size, color, padding, border, ... and a lot of other styling as per your requirement.

ToastMaker("Hi There!", 2000,  {
    styles: { fontSize: "15px" },
    classList: ["custom-class"]
  });
