Step 1: Place the "lovelyToasts.lua" library somewhere in your source folder (e.g. "/lib/soupy.lua")
Step 2: Add a variable to require the library in your main.lua file:
lovelyToasts = require("lib.lovelyToasts")
Step 3: Call lovelyToast's draw and update functions
function love.update(dt)
lovelyToasts.update(dt)
end
function love.draw()
lovelyToasts.draw()
end
Step 4: Show a toast message!
lovelyToasts.show("This is a Lövely toast :)")
For best looking toasts, set t.window.msaa
in your conf.lua to 16
Other than the toast message you can also pass a duration and position
lovelyToasts.show("Lövely toast :)", 2, "top")
This will create a toast messsage at the top of the screen that appears for 2 seconds. Other options for the position are "middle", to put the toast in the center of the screen, "bottom", the default value, or a number for the Y position.
Various attributes of the toast message can be changed by changing the values in lovelyToasts.style
- lovelyToasts.style.font The font to use for the toast message
- lovelyToasts.style.textColor The color of the text
- lovelyToasts.style.backgroundColor The color of the toast
- lovelyToasts.style.paddingLR Left and right padding in the toast
- lovelyToasts.style.paddingTB Top and bottom padding in the toast
- lovelyToasts.options.tapToDismiss (set to false by default)
Allows user to tap or click on the toast message to dismiss it - lovelyToasts.options.queueEnabled (set to false by default)
When set to true the toasts don't replace, but enter a queue so you can queue multiple toasts in a row - lovelyToasts.options.animationDuration (set to 0.3 by default)
Animation duration for appear and disappear animation
In order for lovelyToasts.options.tapToDismiss
to work you need to implement Love's mousereleased for mouse and/or touchreleased for touch screens such a mobile devices.
function love.mousereleased(x, y, button)
lovelyToasts.mousereleased(x, y, button)
end
function love.touchreleased(id, x, y, dx, dy, pressure)
lovelyToasts.touchreleased(id, x, y, dx, dy, pressure)
end
