Toast & Snackbar

Design a toast and snackbar system for a product UI. Treat them as two related patterns: toasts are passive status messages, while snackbars can carry a single action such as Undo or View. Show how they differ in placement, duration, and interaction.

Build the core variants a product team would need: success, info, warning, and error. Include default, with-action, dismissible, and stacked states. Show how each message reads at a glance without depending on color alone.

Design for real usage, not just the happy path. Include short and long message lengths, multiple notifications arriving at once, and a recovery case where the user can reverse an action before the message disappears. Keep spacing, icon use, and motion consistent across all states.

Make the system feel shippable in a real app: clear hierarchy, readable timing, and controls that stay usable while the message is on screen.

What to deliver

  • Design toast and snackbar variants for success, warning, error, and info
  • Show placement rules for top, bottom, and stacked notifications
  • Include optional action, dismiss, and auto-dismiss states
  • Show one-line and two-line message lengths
  • Add loading, offline, and undo recovery states

Infuse your design with unique animation effects for transitions, making the toast or snackbar even more engaging!
