Snackbar / Toast

Snackbars are often used as tooltips/popups to show a message at the bottom of the screen.

Click on the button to show the snackbar. It will disappear after 3 seconds.

Show Snackbar

Some text some message..

function myFunction() { var x = document.getElementById("myDIV") x.className = "showsnack"; setTimeout(function(){ x.className = x.className.replace("showsnack", ""); }, 3000); }

Create a Snackbar

Step 1) Add HTML:

Example

<button onclick="myFunction()">Show Snackbar</button>


<div id="snackbar">Some text some message..</div>

Step 2) Add CSS:

Style the snackbar and add animations:

Example

/* The snackbar - position it at the bottom and in the middle of the screen */
#snackbar {
  visibility: hidden; /* Hidden by default. Visible on click */
  min-width: 250px; /* Set a default minimum width */
  margin-left: -125px; /* Divide value of min-width by 2 */
  background-color: #333; /* Black background color */
color: #fff; /* White text color */
text-align: center; /* Centered text */
border-radius: 2px; /* Rounded borders */
padding: 16px; /* Padding */
position: fixed; /* Sit on top of the screen */
z-index: 1; /* Add a z-index if needed */
  left: 50%; /* Center the snackbar */
bottom: 30px; /* 30px from the bottom */
}

/* Show the snackbar when clicking on a button (class added with JavaScript) */
#snackbar.show {
  visibility: visible; /* Show the snackbar */
/* Add animation: Take 0.5 seconds to fade in and out the snackbar.
However, delay the fade out process for 2.5 seconds */
-webkit-animation: fadein 0.5s, fadeout 0.5s 2.5s;
  animation: fadein 0.5s, fadeout 0.5s 2.5s;
}

/* Animations to fade the snackbar in and out */
@-webkit-keyframes fadein {
from {bottom: 0; opacity: 0;}
to {bottom: 30px; opacity: 1;}
}

@keyframes fadein {
  from {bottom: 0; opacity: 0;}
  to {bottom: 30px; opacity: 1;}
}

@-webkit-keyframes fadeout {
  from {bottom: 30px; opacity: 1;}
  to {bottom: 0; opacity: 0;}
}

@keyframes fadeout {
  from {bottom: 30px; opacity: 1;}
  to {bottom: 0; opacity: 0;}
}

Step 3) Add JavaScript:

Use JavaScript to add the "show" class to the snackbar container with a click of a button:

Example

function myFunction() {
// Get the snackbar DIV
  var x = document.getElementById("snackbar");

// Add the "show" class to DIV
x.className = "show";

  // After 3 seconds, remove the show class from DIV
  setTimeout(function(){ x.className = x.className.replace("show", ""); }, 3000);
}
