A Swift extension that adds simple, customizable toast notifications to any UIView with minimal code.
Toast-Swift is a Swift extension that adds toast notification functionality to UIView objects in iOS applications. It allows developers to display temporary, non-intrusive messages or alerts anywhere in their app's interface with minimal code. The library solves the need for a simple, native way to show status updates without building custom notification systems from scratch.
iOS developers building Swift applications who need to display temporary messages, alerts, or status indicators within their user interface. It's particularly useful for developers who want a lightweight, easy-to-integrate solution without external dependencies.
Developers choose Toast-Swift because it's a pure Swift implementation with a dead-simple API that can be implemented in one line of code. Unlike heavier notification libraries, it's lightweight, highly customizable through its ToastStyle system, and integrates natively as a UIView extension rather than requiring separate view controllers or complex architectures.

Displays toast notifications with a single line like view.makeToast("message"), reducing implementation time and boilerplate, as shown in the basic examples.
Customize colors, positions, and durations via ToastStyle, allowing quick UI adjustments, evidenced by the style configuration examples in the README.
ToastManager controls sequential or replacement behaviors, preventing toast overlap and improving user experience, as highlighted in the queueing features.
Supports activity spinners within toasts using makeToastActivity(), useful for loading feedback, demonstrated in the activity indicator section.
Enables tap-to-dismiss functionality configurable via ToastManager, giving users control, as mentioned in the tap-to-dismiss feature.
As a UIView extension, it doesn't natively support SwiftUI, requiring extra bridging work for integration in modern iOS apps, which is not addressed in the README.
Focuses on simplicity, lacking built-in support for custom animations or transitions beyond basic fades, making it less suitable for dynamic interfaces.
Requires setup via CocoaPods, Carthage, or manual file addition, which can be cumbersome compared to built-in solutions or lighter alternatives.
Without careful use, multiple toasts can clutter the interface, and the queue system might not handle all edge cases, potentially leading to poor UX.
