# ToastManager

#### Toast Manager

The ToastManager is a singleton utility component within the MultiSet SDK responsible for displaying temporary, non-interactive messages on the screen. It is used throughout the SDK to provide users with immediate feedback, such as "Localization Success" or "Network Error".

#### **Description**

This manager controls a UI element, typically consisting of a CanvasGroup and a Text component, to create a "toast" or "alert" message. It makes the message fade in, stay visible for a short period, and then fade out automatically. As a singleton, it can be easily accessed from any other script in your project using ToastManager.Instance without needing a direct reference.

## **Properties**

This section details the publicly accessible fields of the ToastManager that you can configure in the Unity Editor.

| Property        | Type                | Description                                                                                                                                                        |
| --------------- | ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Instance        | static ToastManager | The static singleton instance of the ToastManager. This provides a global access point to the manager's functionality.                                             |
| toastText       | Text                | The Unity UI Text component where the message content will be displayed. This should be a child of the GameObject that has the CanvasGroup.                        |
| canvasGroup     | CanvasGroup         | The CanvasGroup component that controls the alpha (transparency) and raycast blocking of the entire toast UI element. This is used to fade the message in and out. |
| fadeDuration    | float               | The duration in seconds that the fade-in and fade-out animations will take. The default value is 0.5f.                                                             |
| displayDuration | float               | The duration in seconds that the toast message will remain fully visible on the screen after fading in and before it starts to fade out. The default value is 2f.  |

## **Methods**

This section describes the publicly accessible methods of the ToastManager.

**ShowToast()**

Displays a toast message on the screen.

```csharp
public void ShowToast(string message)
```

**Description**\
When you call this method, the provided message string is assigned to the toastText component, and the toast UI begins its fade-in and fade-out sequence. The entire animation is handled automatically.

```csharp
ToastManager.Instance.ShowToast("Your action was successful!");
```

**ShowAlert()**

Displays an alert message on the screen.

```csharp
public void ShowAlert(string alertText)
```

**Description**\
This method is functionally identical to ShowToast(). It takes a string alertText and displays it using the same fade-in and fade-out animation. It is provided as an alternative name for semantic clarity in your code.

```csharp
ToastManager.Instance.ShowAlert("Warning: Low battery.");
```
