🎁 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.
