README

A Symfony bundle for displaying toast notifications from flash messages, with no Bootstrap CSS or JavaScript dependency.

Installation

Make sure Composer is installed globally, as explained in the installation chapter of the Composer documentation.

Open a command console, enter your project directory and execute:

composer require asmitta-01/toast-bundle

The bundle is compatible with Symfony 6, 7 and 8.

If your application exposes bundle assets through the public directory, install them after requiring the package:

php bin/console assets:install

Configuration

If your application doesn't use Symfony Flex, enable the bundle in config/bundles.php:

return [
    // ...
    Asmitta\ToastBundle\AsmittaToastBundle::class => ['all' => true],
];

Create a configuration file at config/packages/asmitta_toast.yaml, see docs/config.md.

Usage

1. Add flash messages in your controller

use Asmitta\ToastBundle\Enum\ToastType;

public function someAction(Request $request): Response
{
    $this->addFlash('success', 'Operation completed successfully!'); // 'success' or ToastType::SUCCESS->value
    $this->addFlash('warning', 'Please check your input.');
    $this->addFlash('error', 'Something went wrong.');
    $this->addFlash('info', 'Here is some information.');
    
    return $this->render('your_template.html.twig');
}

2. Include the bundle CSS assets in your template

<link href="{{ asset('bundles/asmittaToast/css/toast.css') }}" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="{{ asset('bundles/asmittaToast/css/spacing.css') }}" rel="stylesheet">

If you use the progress bar option, also include:

<link href="{{ asset('bundles/asmittaToast/css/toast-progress-bar.css') }}" rel="stylesheet">

The bundle ships its own toast behavior, so no Bootstrap JavaScript include is required.

If you use the with_icon or colored_icon templates, include Bootstrap Icons in your page:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap-icons@1.11.3/font/bootstrap-icons.min.css">

3. Add the toast function to your template

{{ render_toasts() }}

The bundle supports these flash message types:

• success → Green toast
• warning → Yellow toast
• error or danger → Red toast
• info (default) → Light Blue toast
