Toast

A temporary UI element that provides important status based information/context.


Overview

The toast component, much like the desktop component, provides status updates and notices to users. Toast’s and their messages are intended to act as invitations for user action (such as a new message) or as disposable status alerts that provide users with a reference to a side affect of a user action.
