1# Toasts
2Use a toast message to indicate the status of a user action. For example, a user saves a form successfully, a toast message with the `success` variant is displayed.  If the user action was not successful, a toast message with the `danger` variant is displayed.
3
4There are different transitions for the toast messages. The `success` toast message will auto-hide after 10 seconds. The user must manually dismiss the `informational`, `warning`, and `error` toast messages.  The `BVToastMixin` provides a simple API that generates a toast message that meets the transition guidelines.
