Description: Reference for Adw.Toast

### Class

# AdwToast

#### Description [src]

    final class Adw.Toast : GObject.Object {
      /* No available fields */
    }

A helper object for `AdwToastOverlay`.

Toasts are meant to be passed into `adw_toast_overlay_add_toast()` as follows:

    adw_toast_overlay_add_toast (overlay, adw_toast_new (_("Simple Toast")));

Toasts always have a close button. They emit the `AdwToast::dismissed` signal when disappearing.

`AdwToast:timeout` determines how long the toast stays on screen, while `AdwToast:priority` determines how it behaves if another toast is already being displayed.

`AdwToast:custom-title` can be used to replace the title label with a custom widget.

## Actions

Toasts can have one button on them, with a label and an attached `GAction`.

    AdwToast *toast = adw_toast_new (_("Toast with Action"));

    adw_toast_set_button_label (toast, _("_Example"));
    adw_toast_set_action_name (toast, "win.example");

    adw_toast_overlay_add_toast (overlay, toast);

## Modifying toasts

Toasts can be modified after they have been shown. For this, an `AdwToast` reference must be kept around while the toast is visible.

A common use case for this is using toasts as undo prompts that stack with each other, allowing to batch undo the last deleted items:

    static void
    toast_undo_cb (GtkWidget  *sender,
                   const char *action,
                   GVariant   *param)
    {
      // Undo the deletion
    }

    static void
    dismissed_cb (MyWindow *self)
    {
      self->undo_toast = NULL;

      // Permanently delete the items
    }

    static void
    delete_item (MyWindow *self,
                 MyItem   *item)
    {
      g_autofree char *title = NULL;
      int n_items;

      // Mark the item as waiting for deletion
      n_items = ... // The number of waiting items

      if (!self->undo_toast) {
        self->undo_toast = adw_toast_new_format (_("‘%s’ deleted"), ...);

        adw_toast_set_priority (self->undo_toast, ADW_TOAST_PRIORITY_HIGH);
        adw_toast_set_button_label (self->undo_toast, _("_Undo"));
        adw_toast_set_action_name (self->undo_toast, "toast.undo");

        g_signal_connect_swapped (self->undo_toast, "dismissed",
                                  G_CALLBACK (dismissed_cb), self);

        adw_toast_overlay_add_toast (self->toast_overlay, self->undo_toast);

        return;
      }

      title =
        g_strdup_printf (ngettext ("<span font_features='tnum=1'>%d</span> item deleted",
                                   "<span font_features='tnum=1'>%d</span> items deleted",
                                   n_items), n_items);

      adw_toast_set_title (self->undo_toast, title);

      // Bump the toast timeout
      adw_toast_overlay_add_toast (self->toast_overlay, g_object_ref (self->undo_toast));
    }

    static void
    my_window_class_init (MyWindowClass *klass)
    {
      GtkWidgetClass *widget_class = GTK_WIDGET_CLASS (klass);

      gtk_widget_class_install_action (widget_class, "toast.undo", NULL, toast_undo_cb);
    }
