Accessibility considerations

There are accessibility considerations to keep in mind when using toasts. See our toast accessibility guidelines for more information.

Toast alerts are short, global messages that confirm an action or share a lightweight update without blocking the rest of the page. RHDS implements toasts with <rh-alert> and the static RhAlert.toast() API, which manages stacking, animation, and persistence.

These pattern pages focus on toast usage. For inline and inline alternate alerts (messages tied to a specific region or form), see the Alert element documentation.
