Requirements

• Tailwind CSS is required
  nuxt-notify relies entirely on Tailwind utility classes. Without Tailwind, toasts will render but appear unstyled.
• @nuxt/icon is required for icons
  Icons are enabled by default. If notify.showIcon is true, @nuxt/icon must be installed.

Features

• ✨ Nuxt 3 & Nuxt 4 compatible
• 🚀 Auto-mounts the toast container (no manual component setup)
• 🎨 Works with Tailwind v3 and Tailwind v4
• 💅 Automatic Tailwind component scanning
• 🎭 Nuxt Icon integration
• 📍 Multiple positions (top-right, top-left, bottom-right, bottom-left, top-center, bottom-center)
• ⚙️ Global configuration via nuxt.config.ts
• 🎯 Global + per-toast icon control
• 🔘 Actions (vertical & horizontal layouts)
• 👤 Avatars (image / icon / text)
• ⏱️ Progress bar with pause on hover
• 🌓 Theme switching (dark | light | system) scoped to toasts only
• 🎨 Per-toast Tailwind UI overrides
• 📦 Per-toast maxToasts stack override
• 📌 Persistent toasts (duration: 0)

Installation

1) Install the module

npx nuxt module add nuxt-notify

Or manually:

npm install nuxt-notify
# pnpm add nuxt-notify
# yarn add nuxt-notify

Tailwind CSS Setup

Choose ONE option.

Option A: Tailwind v3 (@nuxtjs/tailwindcss)

npx nuxi@latest module add tailwindcss

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: ['@nuxtjs/tailwindcss', 'nuxt-notify'],
})

@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;

Content paths for module components are registered automatically.

Option B: Tailwind v4 (Vite Plugin)

npm install tailwindcss @tailwindcss/vite

import tailwindcss from '@tailwindcss/vite'

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: ['nuxt-notify'],
  vite: {
    plugins: [tailwindcss()],
  },
  css: ['~/assets/css/main.css'],
})

@import 'tailwindcss';
@import 'nuxt-notify/styles';

⚠️ @import "nuxt-notify/styles" is required for Tailwind v4 component scanning.

Install Nuxt Icon

npx nuxi@latest module add icon

Quick Start

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: ['nuxt-notify'],
  notify: {
    position: 'top-right',
    duration: 5000,
    maxToasts: 5,
    theme: 'system', // 'light' | 'dark' | 'system'
    showIcon: true,
  },
})

The toast container is mounted automatically.

Usage

<script setup>
const toast = useToast()

toast.success('Saved', 'Your changes were saved.')
toast.error('Error', 'Something went wrong.')
toast.info('Heads up', 'New version is available.')
toast.warning('Careful', 'This action cannot be undone.')
</script>

Per-Toast maxToasts

toast.add({
  title: 'Replace stack',
  maxToasts: 1,
})

Overrides the global stack size for that toast only.

Persistent Toasts

Set duration: 0 to keep a toast open until the user closes it manually:

toast.add({
  title: 'Action required',
  description: 'This toast stays until dismissed.',
  duration: 0,
  progress: false,
})

Custom UI Overrides

toast.add({
  title: 'Custom UI',
  ui: {
    root: 'rounded-2xl border border-dashed',
    title: 'text-base font-semibold',
    description: 'text-xs opacity-80',
  },
})

Troubleshooting

Theme only affects toasts (not your whole app)

notify.theme applies the dark class to the toast container only. Your app's own color mode (e.g. @nuxtjs/color-mode) is not overridden.

Tailwind v4 dark mode on toasts

If toast dark: classes are not applying, add this to your main CSS file:

@custom-variant dark (&:where(.dark, .dark *));

Example (assets/css/main.css):

@custom-variant dark (&:where(.dark, .dark *));

@import 'tailwindcss';
@import 'nuxt-notify/styles';
