How to use the useToast hook for displaying notifications in Next.js

In Next.js, you can use the react-toast-notifications library to display notifications. The useToast hook is a part of this library and makes it easy to show notifications in your Next.js application.

Here are the steps to use the useToast hook:

1. Install the react-toast-notifications library:

   Run the following command in your Next.js project to install the library:

   bashCopy code
   npm install react-toast-notifications
   

   Or if you are using Yarn:

   bashCopy code
   yarn add react-toast-notifications
   

2. Import and use the useToast hook in your component:

   In your component file, import the useToasts hook from the library:

   jsxCopy code
   import { useToasts } from 'react-toast-notifications';
   

   Then, use the useToasts hook to get the addToast function, which you can use to display notifications:

   jsxCopy code
   import React from 'react';
   import { useToasts } from 'react-toast-notifications';
   
   const MyComponent = () => {
     const { addToast } = useToasts();
   
     const showToast = () => {
       addToast('Notification message', { appearance: 'success', autoDismiss: true });
     };
   
     return (
       <div>
         <button onClick={showToast}>Show Notification</button>
       </div>
     );
   };
   
   export default MyComponent;
   

   In the example above, when the button is clicked, a success notification with the message "Notification message" will be displayed. You can customize the appearance, autoDismiss duration, and other options based on your requirements.

3. Customize the notification appearance:

   The appearance prop in the addToast function allows you to specify the appearance of the notification. Some common values include 'success', 'error', 'warning', and 'info'.

   jsxCopy code
   addToast('Error message', { appearance: 'error', autoDismiss: true });
   

   You can customize the appearance and other options according to your application's needs.

That's it! You should now be able to use the useToast hook from the react-toast-notifications library to display notifications in your Next.js application.
