Question 1

How to change Loaf toast background color in Swift?

Accepted Answer

Set the backgroundColor property in a custom state initializer. For example, Loaf("Message", state: .custom(.init(backgroundColor: .blue)), sender: self).show() allows you to override the default styles with any UIColor.

Question 2

Loaf vs SwiftMessages which should I use?

Accepted Answer

Loaf is lighter and more Swift-native, ideal for simple toast needs with easy customization. SwiftMessages offers more advanced features like different presentation styles and better accessibility out-of-the-box, but it's heavier and more complex to set up.

Question 3

How to manually dismiss a Loaf toast in iOS?

Accepted Answer

Use the global method Loaf.dismiss(sender: self) where self is the presenting view controller. This programmatically dismisses any active Loaf, useful for scenarios like user navigation or error recovery.

Question 4

Can I use Loaf with SwiftUI?

Accepted Answer

Loaf is built for UIKit, so in SwiftUI, you need to wrap it in a UIViewControllerRepresentable or use it within UIKit components via coordinators. There's no native SwiftUI support, which adds complexity for modern iOS apps.

Question 5

Loaf toast not showing above tab bar fix?

Accepted Answer

Ensure you're using version 0.5.0 or later, as it includes support for presenting above tab bars. Update via Cocoapods and check the README's 'Other' section for compatibility notes with view hierarchies.

Question 6

How to add a tap action to Loaf toast?

Accepted Answer

Use the completion handler in the .show() method. For instance, Loaf("Message", sender: self).show { dismissalType in if dismissalType == .tapped { // handle tap } } lets you execute code when the toast is tapped, as shown in the README examples.
