Currently in SwiftUI, the only way to inform the user about some process that finished for example, is by using Alert. Sometimes, you just want to pop a message that tells the user that something completed, or his message was sent. Apple doesn't provide any other method rather than using Alert even though Apple using all kinds of different pop-ups. The results are poor UX where the user would need to tap "OK/Dismiss" for every little information that he should be notified about.

Alert Toast is an open-source library in Github to use with SwiftUI. It allows you to present popups that don't need any user action to dismiss or to validate. Some great usage examples: Message Sent, Poor Network Connection, Profile Updated, Logged In/Out, Favorited, Loading and so on...

• Built with pure SwiftUI.
• 3 Display modes: Alert (pop at the center), HUD (drop from the top) and Banner (pop/slide from the bottom).
• Complete, Error SystemImage, Image, Loading, and Regular (Only Text).
• Supports Light & Dark Mode.
• Works with any kind of view builder.
• Localization support.
• Font & Background customization.

AlertToast Cocapods Website

CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects. For usage and installation instructions, visit their website. To integrate AlertToast into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:

pod 'AlertToast'

The Swift Package Manager is a tool for managing the distribution of Swift code. It’s integrated with the Swift build system to automate the process of downloading, compiling, and linking dependencies.

To integrate AlertToast into your Xcode project using Xcode 12, specify it in File > Swift Packages > Add Package Dependency...:

https://github.com/elai950/AlertToast.git, :branch="master"

For Xcode 13, please refer this article to install AlertToast

If you prefer not to use any of dependency managers, you can integrate AlertToast into your project manually. Put Sources/AlertToast folder in your Xcode project. Make sure to enable Copy items if needed and Create groups.

• iOS 13.0+ | macOS 11+
• Xcode 12.0+ | Swift 5+

First, add import AlertToast on every swift file you would like to use AlertToast.

Then, use the .toast view modifier:

Parameters:

• isPresenting: (MUST) assign a Binding<Bool> to show or dismiss alert.
• duration: default is 2, set 0 to disable auto dismiss.
• tapToDismiss: default is true, set false to disable.
• alert: (MUST) expects AlertToast.

import AlertToast
import SwiftUI

struct ContentView: View{

    @State private var showToast = false

    var body: some View{
        VStack{

            Button("Show Toast"){
                 showToast.toggle()
            }
        }
        .toast(isPresenting: $showToast){

            // `.alert` is the default displayMode
            AlertToast(type: .regular, title: "Message Sent!")
            
            //Choose .hud to toast alert from the top of the screen
            //AlertToast(displayMode: .hud, type: .regular, title: "Message Sent!")
            
            //Choose .banner to slide/pop alert from the bottom of the screen
            //AlertToast(displayMode: .banner(.slide), type: .regular, title: "Message Sent!")
        }
    }
}

.toast(isPresenting: $showAlert, duration: 2, tapToDismiss: true, alert: {
   //AlertToast goes here
}, onTap: {
   //onTap would call either if `tapToDismis` is true/false
   //If tapToDismiss is true, onTap would call and then dismis the alert
}, completion: {
   //Completion block after dismiss
})

AlertToast(displayMode: DisplayMode,
           type: AlertType,
           title: Optional(String),
           subTitle: Optional(String),
           style: Optional(AlertStyle))
           
//This is the available customizations parameters:
AlertStyle(backgroundColor: Color?,
            titleColor: Color?,
            subTitleColor: Color?,
            titleFont: Font?,
            subTitleFont: Font?)

• Regular: text only (Title and Subtitle).
• Complete: animated checkmark.
• Error: animated xmark.
• System Image: name image from SFSymbols.
• Image: name image from Assets.
• Loading: Activity Indicator (Spinner).

.toast(isPresenting: Binding<Bool>, duration: Double = 2, tapToDismiss: true, alert: () -> AlertToast , onTap: () -> (), completion: () -> () )

AlertToast(type: .regular, title: Optional(String), subTitle: Optional(String))

AlertToast(type: .complete(Color)/.error(Color), title: Optional(String), subTitle: Optional(String))

AlertToast(type: .systemImage(String, Color), title: Optional(String), subTitle: Optional(String))

AlertToast(type: .image(String), title: Optional(String), subTitle: Optional(String))

//When using loading, duration won't auto dismiss and tapToDismiss is set to false
AlertToast(type: .loading, title: Optional(String), subTitle: Optional(String))

You can add many .toast on a single view.

I wrote an article that contains more usage examples.
