AlertToast SwiftUI
  • June 20, 2025

Present Apple-like alert & toast in SwiftUI

🌄 Example


 

🔭 Overview


Currently in SwiftUI, the only way to inform the user about some process that finished for example, is by using Alert. Sometimes, you just want to display a message that tells the user that something has completed or that their message was sent. Apple doesn’t provide any method other than using Alert, even though they use various types of pop-ups. This results in poor UX, as the user must tap ‘OK’ or ‘Dismiss’ for every piece of information they should be notified aboutAlert Toast is an open-source library in Github to use with SwiftUI. It allows you to present popups that don’t need any user action to dismiss or to validate. Some great usage examples: Message SentPoor Network ConnectionProfile UpdatedLogged In/OutFavoritedLoading and so on…

  • Built with pure SwiftUI.
  • 3 Display modes: Alert (pop at the center), HUD (drop from the top) and Banner (pop/slide from the bottom).
  • CompleteError SystemImageImageLoading, and Regular (Only Text).
  • Supports Light & Dark Mode.
  • Works with any kind of view builder.
  • Localization support.
  • Font & Background customization.

First, add import AlertToast on every swift file you would like to use AlertToast.

Then, use the .toast view modifier:

Parameters:

  • isPresenting: (MUST) assign a Binding<Bool> to show or dismiss alert.
  • duration: default is 2, set 0 to disable auto dismiss.
  • tapToDismiss: default is true, set false to disable.
  • alert: (MUST) expects AlertToast.

Usage example with regular alert

import AlertToast
import SwiftUI

struct ContentView: View{

@State private var showToast = false

var body: some View{
VStack{

Button(“Show Toast”){
showToast.toggle()
}
}
.toast(isPresenting: $showToast){

// `.alert` is the default displayMode
AlertToast(type: .regular, title: “Message Sent!”)

//Choose .hud to toast alert from the top of the screen
//AlertToast(displayMode: .hud, type: .regular, title: “Message Sent!”)

//Choose .banner to slide/pop alert from the bottom of the screen
//AlertToast(displayMode: .banner(.slide), type: .regular, title: “Message Sent!”)
}
}
}

Complete Modifier Example

.toast(isPresenting: $showAlert, duration: 2, tapToDismiss: true, alert: {
//AlertToast goes here
