Sonner

Stacked toast notifications for save confirmations, uploads, and undo windows — with the neobrutalist borders-and-shadows treatment.

"use client"

import { toast } from "sonner"

Sonner puts stacked, auto-dismissing toasts on screen from a single toast() call — mount one <Toaster /> and fire notifications from anywhere, no context wiring. This is not a Radix or Base UI primitive: both backend variants wrap the same Sonner library by emilkowalski, styled to the neobrutalist recipe: thick borders, hard shadows, and bold type.

Reach for it when:

Action feedback — "Saved", "Copied to clipboard", "Settings updated" after a mutation resolves.
Async operations — toast.promise() tracks an upload or deploy from loading to success or error in one toast.
Undo windows — deletes and archives with an action button, so destructive operations get a grace period.

Accessibility

There is no dedicated WAI-ARIA APG pattern for toasts; the closest guidance is the Alert pattern. Sonner renders toasts into a polite ARIA live region, so screen readers announce them without stealing focus. The region sits outside the normal tab order — reachable only via the hotkey — and dismiss timers pause while the stack is hovered, focused, or the tab is hidden.

Keyboard interactions:

Key	Action
`Alt + T`	Focus and expand the toast stack (configurable via the `hotkey` prop on `Toaster`)
`Tab` / `Shift + Tab`	Move through toasts and their action / close buttons
`Enter` / `Space`	Activate the focused action or close button
`Escape`	Collapse the toast stack while focus is inside it
