Snackbar — spec

Synthesized from MUI Snackbar and Material 3 snackbar pattern. Bottom-anchored brief notification with optional action — Material's specific name for the Toast pattern. See component-toast.md for the broader Toast family.

Snackbar vs Toast vs Message vs Notification

Library Position Use
Snackbar (Material) Bottom-center / bottom-left Brief result + optional Undo
Toast (Sonner / shadcn / Ant) Bottom-right (configurable) Same as Snackbar
Message (Ant) Top-center Brief inline confirmation
Notification (Ant) Top-right corner card Rich title + description

In design-ai's canonical synthesis: Snackbar = MUI's name for Toast. Pick one terminology per project.

Tokens consumed

--snackbar-bg                     (default; near-black on light, near-white on dark)
--snackbar-fg
--snackbar-action                 (action button text)
--snackbar-shadow
--radius-md
--motion-medium
--ease-out
--z-snackbar                      (above content, below modals)

Accessibility

  • role="status" (informational) or role="alert" (errors).
  • aria-live="polite" (status) or assertive (alert) — be sparing.
  • Auto-hide pauses on hover / focus (don't dismiss while user is reading or interacting).
  • Esc closes if focusable.

Code example — undo pattern

async function deleteItem(id: string) {
  const item = items.find(i => i.id === id);
  setItems(prev => prev.filter(i => i.id !== id));

  toast.snackbar({
    message: "삭제되었어요",
    action: <Button onClick={() => setItems(prev => [...prev, item])}>실행 취소</Button>,
    autoHideDuration: 5000,
    onClose: (reason) => {
      if (reason !== "clickaway") {
        api.deleteItem(id);  // commit deletion when snackbar closes
      }
    },
  });
}

Korean conventions

  • 삭제됐어요 / 저장됐어요 / 복사됐어요 — typical 해요체 messages
  • 실행 취소 (Undo) — standard label
  • For network errors: "네트워크 오류 — 다시 시도하시겠어요?" + Retry button

Don't

  • Don't use Snackbar for blocking errors. Use Modal / AlertDialog.
  • Don't show 3+ Snackbars stacked. Queue them.
  • Don't auto-dismiss persistent errors (let user dismiss manually).
  • Don't make autoHide < 4 seconds for messages with Undo. Users need time to act.
