Critical: Toasts Are Not Recommended

Toasts pose significant accessibility concerns and should be avoided. Use the alternatives below instead.

Why Toasts Are Problematic

WCAG Violations

  • 2.2.1 Timing Adjustable (A): Auto-dismiss prevents users from reading content
  • 1.3.2 Meaningful Sequence (A): DOM placement disconnects toast from trigger
  • 2.1.1 Keyboard (A): Focus management is complex and often broken
  • 4.1.3 Status Messages (AA): Assistive technology announcements are disruptive

Usability Issues

  • Large displays: Toasts appear outside user's field of view
  • Screen magnification: Toast may be outside magnified area
  • Multitasking: Auto-dismiss causes missed messages
  • Blocking UI: Floats over important content like submit buttons
