# Toast/Notification

> A lightweight, highly accessible toast system built with React and Tailwind CSS. Unlike standard toast libraries, this component uses primitive composition (ToastTitle, ToastDescription, etc.), giving you total control over the layout.  16+ Animation Combos: Supports slide, fade, and zoom variants with mirrored entry/exit physics.  Smart Lifecycle: Imperative animation handling ensures smooth exits even when auto-dismissing.  Adaptive Styling: Full support for dark/light modes using semantic CSS variables.  Accessible: Built with aria-live regions and proper role="alert" attributes for screen readers.  Progress Tracking: Includes a visual countdown bar for auto-dismissible notifications.
