Built with React and Tailwind CSS, Shadcn Sonner delivers a modern notification system that adapts to your design needs and offers smooth animations, accessibility features, and flexible configuration.

What is Shadcn Sonner?

The Shadcn Sonner component is designed for displaying dynamic notifications in your application. These notifications can be used to convey success, failure, or informational messages to users in an unobtrusive manner.

It supports various types of messages, auto-dismiss features, and rich media content such as icons and progress bars. By using React Sonner, you can create beautiful, context-aware notifications that integrate seamlessly with your app's flow.

Why Use Shadcn Sonner?

• Customizable Notifications: Fully customizable in terms of appearance, duration, and content with Tailwind CSS.
• Wide Variety of Use Cases: Supports multiple notification types such as success, error, warning, and info with distinct animations and behaviors.
• Auto-Dismiss & Timeout: Automatically dismiss notifications after a set period, or allow users to close them manually.
• Accessible by Default: Includes proper ARIA roles for screen readers and provides a smooth experience for all users.
• Interactive & Rich Content: Includes icons, progress bars, buttons, and custom actions inside notifications for richer interactions.
• Performance-Oriented: Optimized for smooth transitions and minimal overhead in your app.

Features:

• Customizable Animation & Duration: Use Tailwind's animation utilities to control sliding, fading, or scaling effects, and set the duration of notifications.
• Icon Support: Attach custom icons for visual distinction, such as success, warning, or error icons.
• Actionable Notifications: Add buttons inside the notification (e.g., Retry, Undo) to provide an interactive experience for users.
• Auto-Dismiss Timer: Set a timer for each notification, or allow users to close notifications manually.
• Position Control: Choose from various screen positions (top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right).
• Keyboard Navigation: Fully keyboard accessible, allowing users to navigate through notifications using arrow keys and interact using Enter or Space.

Production Tips:

• Timing and Duration: Set a reasonable auto-dismiss time based on the content and importance of the message. For example, success messages can auto-dismiss faster than error messages.
• Ensure Accessibility: Include clear ARIA labels (e.g., aria-live="assertive" for important notifications) and manage focus so that screen readers announce notifications.
• Consistent Styles: Ensure all notifications follow a consistent design system for color, padding, font, and icons to maintain a cohesive UI.
• Use Clear Action Labels: For actionable notifications (e.g., retry, undo), use clear and concise labels that guide the user's next action.
• Avoid Overloading the User: Limit the number of visible notifications at once to avoid overwhelming the user. Use stacking or queues for multiple notifications.
• Mobile Optimization: Make sure notifications do not block important content or UI elements on smaller screens. Consider making them swipeable or dismissable with a button.
• Dismiss Notifications Gracefully: Always allow users to dismiss notifications with a clear "Close" button or gesture, and ensure that dismissing does not disrupt the user experience.

Integration With Other Components

The Shadcn Sonner integrates effortlessly within the Shadcn UI ecosystem — fully compatible with both shadcn/ui and shadcn-ui components for building dynamic, responsive interfaces.

Pair it with Shadcn Button to add quick action triggers such as "Retry" or "Undo" within the notification. Use Shadcn Icon to visually differentiate message types like success, error, or warning. Combine it with Shadcn Form to display instant feedback for user inputs or submission results.

For confirmation or interactive alerts, integrate Shadcn Dialog to prompt user decisions directly from a notification. In data-driven applications, connect notifications to updates from Shadcn Table. You can also pair it with Shadcn Select to show contextual messages when users change preferences or filter options.

This flexibility makes Shadcn Sonner a valuable component for building cohesive and responsive shadcn/ui interfaces that enhance feedback and user experience.
