Create a toast with a custom style:
let style = ToastStyle()
style.backgroundColor = .blue
style.textColor = .white
style.font = UIFont.boldSystemFont(ofSize: 16)
Toast.show(message: "Styled Toast", duration: .short, position: .center, style: style, controller: self)

Basic Examples
// basic usage
self.view.makeToast("This is a piece of toast")
// toast with a specific duration and position
self.view.makeToast("This is a piece of toast", duration: 3.0, position: .top)
// toast presented with multiple options and with a completion closure
self.view.makeToast("This is a piece of toast", duration: 2.0, point: CGPoint(x: 110.0, y: 110.0), title: "Toast Title", image: UIImage(named: "toast.png")) { didTap in
if didTap {
print("completion from tap")
} else {
print("completion without tap")
}
}
// display toast with an activity spinner
self.view.makeToastActivity(.center)
// display any view as toast
self.view.showToast(myView)
// immediately hides all toast views in self.view
self.view.hideAllToasts()
But wait, there's more!
// create a new style
var style = ToastStyle()
// this is just one of many style options
style.messageColor = .blue
// present the toast with the new style
self.view.makeToast("This is a piece of toast", duration: 3.0, position: .bottom, style: style)
// or perhaps you want to use this style for all toasts going forward?
// just set the shared style and there's no need to provide the style again
ToastManager.shared.style = style
self.view.makeToast("This is a piece of toast") // now uses the shared style
// toggle "tap to dismiss" functionality
ToastManager.shared.isTapToDismissEnabled = true
// toggle queueing behavior
ToastManager.shared.isQueueEnabled = true
See the demo project for more examples.
