Generate Toast using .NET Maui

Hi guys, this is how you can generate toast notifications on .Net Maui using the maui Community Toolkit.

• First step we need the following NuGet Packages

• Firstly this is what the code looks like to generate a toast notification

  using CommunityToolkit.Maui.Alerts;
  var toast = Toast.Make(message, duration, fontSize);
  await toast.Show(cancellationToken);
  

However I feel to make the code reusable It would be best to create a seperate class, in future we can add the snackbar and other dialogs to the same class. The Toast Duration and the textSize for toast notification is optional, so I made use of the using System.Runtime.InteropServices .In my case I have called it MessageHelper.cs. This is what it looks like.

  public async Task GenerateToast(string message, [Optional] ToastDuration duration, [Optional] double textSize)
        {
            var toast = CommunityToolkit.Maui.Alerts.Toast.Make(message);
            await toast.Show();
        }

now everytime I need a toast notification I only need to create the MessageHelper object and call the method.

MessageHelper toast = new MessageHelper();

private async void ToastButton_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        await toast.GenerateToast("Hello World");
    }

... and that's all you need, obviously you can refactor this code if you have a better implementation such as mvvm.
