How to implement a notification system with React Toastify in Next.js

To implement a notification system with React Toastify in a Next.js project, you can follow these steps:

Step 1: Install React Toastify

bashCopy code
npm install react-toastify

Step 2: Create a Notification Component

Create a new component for handling notifications. For example, create a file called Notification.js:

jsxCopy code
// components/Notification.js
import { ToastContainer, toast } from 'react-toastify';
import 'react-toastify/dist/ReactToastify.css';

const Notification = ({ message, type }) => {
  const showToast = () => {
    toast(message, { type });
  };

  return (
    <>
      <ToastContainer />
      {showToast()}
    </>
  );
};

export default Notification;

Step 3: Use the Notification Component in Your Pages

Now, you can use the Notification component in any of your pages where you want to show notifications.

For example, in a page component (pages/index.js):

jsxCopy code
// pages/index.js
import Notification from '../components/Notification';

const HomePage = () => {
  const handleShowNotification = () => {
    // Trigger the notification
    Notification({ message: 'This is a notification!', type: 'success' });
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Next.js with React Toastify</h1>
      <button onClick={handleShowNotification}>Show Notification</button>
    </div>
  );
};

export default HomePage;

Step 4: Add Global Styles

Make sure to import the global styles for React Toastify. You can add this to your global CSS file or import it in your _app.js file.

jsxCopy code
// pages/_app.js
import 'react-toastify/dist/ReactToastify.css';
import '../styles/globals.css';

function MyApp({ Component, pageProps }) {
  return <Component {...pageProps} />;
}

export default MyApp;

Step 5: Customize as Needed

You can customize the Notification component to suit your application's needs by adjusting the props passed to the toast function. Refer to the React Toastify documentation for more customization options: React Toastify Documentation.

This basic setup should get you started with implementing a notification system using React Toastify in a Next.js project. Adjust the code according to your specific requirements.
