Fonteva provides a centralized method of handling messages within your app. 

You can customize these warning messages using the Toast component. For example, you can configure your Toast messages to automatically dismiss after a certain period of time. You can also have messages displayed when a user takes an action on the page.

When using SalesForce Classic, izitoast is used.  http://izitoast.marcelodolce.com/

When using Lightning, the SalesForce Toast component is used. https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.lightning.meta/lightning/ref_force_showToast.htm

Configurable Attributes

  • title – Title of the displayed message.
  • message – The message displayed.
  • autoHide – Setting this to true dismisses the message after 15 seconds. False forces the user to dismiss the message themselves.
  • severity (SalesForce  Classic) – Sets the color depending on the setting. 

  • severity (SalesForce Lightning) – Sets the color depending on the setting.

    For options regarding the severity attribute, see the links above for more information.

  • position – the position where the message displays. Choose from topleft, topcenter, topright, bottomleft, bottomcenter, or bottomright

See FrameworkToast for more information on required Aura methods.

Use the following code example to enable Toast messages::

component.find('toastMessages').showMessage('TITLE','ERROR MESSAGE',AutoHideBoolean,'error')
