Prevent duplicate toast display in EJ2 TypeScript Toast control

10 May 20235 minutes to read

You can prevent identical same toast displaying in a screen by the event function and terminate the toast displaying process by setting the cancel event property in the beforeOpen event.

The following sample demonstrates preventing duplicate title toast element displaying with custom code blocks.

import {Toast, ToastModel, ToastBeforeOpenArgs} from '@syncfusion/ej2-notifications';
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';

enableRipple(true);

let toasts: ToastModel[] = [
    { title: 'Warning !', content: 'There was a problem with your network connection.' , isOpen: false},
    { title: 'Success !', content: 'Your message has been sent successfully.' , isOpen: false},
    { title: 'Error !', content: 'A problem has been occurred while submitting your data.' , isOpen: false },
];
let prevDuplicates: boolean = false;
let toastFlag: number = 0;

let toast: Toast = new Toast({
    position: {
        X: 'Center'
    },
    beforeOpen: onBeforeOpen,
    close: onClose,
    created: onCreate
});
toast.appendTo('#element');
++toastFlag;

document.getElementById('show_toast').onclick = () => {
    toast.show(toasts[toastFlag]);
    ++toastFlag;
    if (toastFlag === (toasts.length)) {
        toastFlag = 0;
    }
}

function onBeforeOpen(e: ToastBeforeOpenArgs): void {
    if (preventDuplicate(e)) {
        e.cancel = true;
    }
}

function preventDuplicate(e: ToastBeforeOpenArgs): boolean {
    for (let i: number = 0; i < toasts.length; i++) {
      if (toasts[i].title === e.options.title && !toasts[i].isOpen) {
       toasts[i].isOpen = true;
        return false;
      }
    }
    return true;
}

function onCreate(): void {
    toast.show(toasts[toastFlag]);
    ++toastFlag;
}

function onClose(e: any): void {
    for (let i: number = 0; i < toasts.length; i++) {
        if (toasts[i].title === e.options.title) {
            toasts[i].isOpen = false;
        }
    }
}
