You can trigger toasts from Livewire components by dispatching browser events. No additional setup required beyond the standard Gooey Toast installation.

​
Basic usage

Dispatch the toast event from any Livewire component: 
$this->dispatch('toast', [
    'type'  => 'success',
    'title' => 'Operation complete',
]);

​
Toast types

$this->dispatch('toast', [
    'type'  => 'success',
    'title' => 'Saved successfully',
]);

​
Details and footer

Add expandable detail rows and footer text: 
$this->dispatch('toast', [
    'type'    => 'success',
    'title'   => 'Deployment complete',
    'details' => [
        ['label' => 'Environment', 'value' => 'Production'],
        ['label' => 'Branch',      'value' => 'main'],
    ],
    'footer' => 'https://deploy.example.com/logs/3f8a2c1',
]);

​
Message text

Display plain text instead of structured details: 
$this->dispatch('toast', [
    'type'    => 'info',
    'title'   => 'Melissa',
    'avatar'  => '/avatars/melissa.jpg',
    'message' => 'Please visit HR when you get a chance 👋',
    'footer'  => '1h ago',
]);

​
Progress toasts

Show a progress bar that updates as work completes: 
// Start
$this->dispatch('toast', [
    'id'       => 'upload-1',
    'type'     => 'info',
    'title'    => 'Uploading...',
    'progress' => 0,
]);

// Update
$this->dispatch('toast-update', [
    'id'       => 'upload-1',
    'progress' => 0.5,
]);

// Complete
$this->dispatch('toast-update', [
    'id'       => 'upload-1',
    'progress' => 1,
    'type'     => 'success',
    'title'    => 'Uploaded!',
]);
Use the toast-update event to update existing toasts by ID.

​
Undo toasts

Show a countdown with an inline undo button: 
$this->dispatch('toast-undo', [
    'title'    => 'Item deleted',
    'event'    => 'confirm-delete',
    'data'     => ['id' => $id],
    'duration' => 5000,
]);
The event fires when the countdown expires (only if the user doesn’t click undo). You can listen for it in your Livewire component: 
protected $listeners = ['confirm-delete' => 'handleDelete'];

public function handleDelete($data)
{
    $this->deleteItem($data['id']);
}

​
Persistent toasts

Create toasts that never auto-dismiss: 
$this->dispatch('toast', [
    'type'       => 'error',
    'title'      => 'Payment failed',
    'persistent' => true,
    'details'    => [
        ['label' => 'Reason', 'value' => 'Card declined'],
    ],
]);
Persistent toasts only close via the close button, an action button, or swipe gesture.

​
Custom colors

Override the type color: 
$this->dispatch('toast', [
    'type'  => 'success',
    'title' => 'Branded notification',
    'color' => '#8b5cf6',
]);

​
Updating toasts

Update any toast by ID: 
$this->dispatch('toast-update', [
    'id'    => 'my-toast',
    'title' => 'Updated!',
    'type'  => 'success',
]);

​
Complete example

Here’s a Livewire component that demonstrates various toast features: 
<?php

namespace App\Livewire;

use Livewire\Component;

class TaskManager extends Component
{
    public function saveTask()
    {
        // Simulate async work
        $taskId = 'task-' . uniqid();
        
        $this->dispatch('toast', [
            'id'       => $taskId,
            'type'     => 'loading',
            'title'    => 'Saving task...',
            'progress' => 0,
        ]);
        
        // Update progress
        sleep(1);
        $this->dispatch('toast-update', [
            'id'       => $taskId,
            'progress' => 0.5,
        ]);
        
        sleep(1);
        $this->dispatch('toast-update', [
            'id'       => $taskId,
            'progress' => 1,
            'type'     => 'success',
            'title'    => 'Task saved!',
        ]);
    }
    
    public function deleteTask($id)
    {
        $this->dispatch('toast-undo', [
            'title'    => 'Task deleted',
            'event'    => 'confirm-delete',
            'data'     => ['id' => $id],
            'duration' => 5000,
        ]);
    }
    
    public function showError()
    {
        $this->dispatch('toast', [
            'type'    => 'error',
            'title'   => 'Upload failed',
            'details' => [
                ['label' => 'File', 'value' => 'report.pdf'],
                ['label' => 'Error', 'value' => 'File too large'],
            ],
            'footer' => 'Max file size: 10 MB',
        ]);
    }
    
    public function render()
    {
        return view('livewire.task-manager');
    }
}
