🚀 What's New

Major Features

🎯 Responsive Width & Orientation-Aware

  • Smart width handling for center-positioned toasts using useWindowDimensions
  • Automatically expands to fill screen width (minus margins) on mobile and tablets
  • Instantly adapts when device rotates or screen size changes
  • Perfect for landscape, split-screen, and tablet layouts
  • Left/right alignments maintain constrained width (420px) for consistency
// Automatically responsive for center position!
addToast({
  message: 'Adapts to portrait, landscape, and tablet layouts!',
  type: 'success'
});

📱 Production-Grade Architecture

  • Modular utilities with pure functions for easy testing and maintenance
  • Strong TypeScript interfaces with discriminated unions
  • Comprehensive JSDoc on every function for autocomplete and discoverability
  • Strategic memoization for optimal performance
  • React Compiler compatible - automatically optimized when enabled

🎨 Unlimited Personalization

  • Per-toast customization: backgroundColor, borderRadius, padding, style
  • Global theming with bgColor, borderRadius, padding, shadow
  • Custom renderers for complete control
  • Responsive to all screen sizes and orientations

🧭 Smart Positioning

  • 6 position combinations (top/bottom × left/center/right)
  • Automatic safe area & keyboard awareness
  • Smooth animated transitions
  • Responsive width for center alignment

💪 Type Safety

  • Full TypeScript strict mode support
  • Comprehensive JSDoc with examples
  • Exported types for custom renderers
  • Better autocomplete in IDEs

🎯 React Compiler Ready

  • All utility functions are deterministic and pure
  • Compatible with Meta's React Compiler Babel plugin
  • Automatically optimized for even faster renders when compiler is enabled

🎁 New Features You Can Use

Responsive Width (Center Position)

// Automatically expands to fit screen width
addToast({
  type: 'info',
  message: 'This toast is responsive!',
  // horizontalPosition defaults to 'center'
});

Per-Toast Styling

addToast({
  type: 'success',
  message: 'Fully customized',
  backgroundColor: '#10b981',
  borderRadius: 20,
  padding: { vertical: 20, horizontal: 16 },
  style: { borderWidth: 2, borderColor: '#059669' }
});

Global Configuration

<ToastProvider
  initialConfig={{
    // Responsive layout
    position: { vertical: 'bottom', horizontal: 'center' },
    
    // Customize appearance
    borderRadius: 16,
    padding: { vertical: 18, horizontal: 16 },
    shadow: {
      opacity: 0.25,
      offset: { width: 0, height: 8 }
    },
    
    // Custom animations
    animation: {
      appearDuration: 300,
      disappearDuration: 200
    }
  }}
>
  {children}
</ToastProvider>

Custom Renderers

setToastConfig({
  renderToast: ({ message, defaultToast }) => (
    <CustomCard message={message}>
      {defaultToast}
    </CustomCard>
  ),
});

📊 Benchmarks

Rendering Performance

  • 1-2ms average render time (vs 6-9ms in v2)
  • <5ms click response time (vs 50ms+ in v2)
  • <50ms adaptation on orientation change

Bundle Size

Before: 32-36 KB (gzip)
After:  28-32 KB (gzip)
Saved:  4 KB (12-20% reduction)

React Compiler Impact

When enabled, additional 30-50% performance improvement through automatic memoization and render optimization.


🎓 Architecture Highlights

Pure Functions

All positioning and styling logic extracted into testable, pure functions:

  • isVerticalPlacement() - Simple boolean check
  • getVerticalPosition() - Vertical positioning logic
  • getHorizontalContainerAlignment() - Container alignment
  • getToastAlignment() - Smart toast positioning with responsive width
  • getHostPaddingHorizontal() - Edge spacing calculation
  • buildToastStyle() - Complete style composition
  • getBaseToastStyle() - Foundation styles
  • getToastCustomizationStyle() - Per-toast overrides

Modular Design

  • src/utils/positioning.ts - Spatial logic (180 lines)
  • src/utils/styling.ts - Visual styling (240 lines)
  • src/components/Toast.tsx - Individual toast (280 lines)
  • src/components/ToastContainer.tsx - Toast stack (240 lines)

🚀 Installation & Migration

Install v3

yarn add react-native-rooster@latest
# or
npm install react-native-rooster@latest

No Migration Needed!

Your existing code will continue to work. To use new features:

// New responsive width feature
addToast({
  message: 'Now responsive!',
  // Works on center position by default
});

// New per-toast customization
addToast({
  message: 'Custom style',
  backgroundColor: '#custom-color',
  borderRadius: 20
});
