Migrating From react-hot-toast to emre-toast

If your team is already using react-hot-toast, migration can be straightforward. The key is to move in layers, not all at once.

Step 1) Mount The New Toaster Once

In your root layout, add:

import { EmreToaster } from "@emrelutfi/emre-toast";
import "@emrelutfi/emre-toast/styles.css";

<EmreToaster position="bottom-right" closeButton expand />

Keep your old toaster temporarily during migration if needed.

Step 2) Wrap Calls Behind One Adapter

Create a small internal wrapper so feature teams do not depend on package-level details.

import { emreToast } from "@emrelutfi/emre-toast";

export const notify = {
  success: (title: string) => emreToast.success(title),
  error: (title: string) => emreToast.error(title),
  loading: (title: string) => emreToast.loading(title),
};

Adapters make future changes cheap.

Step 3) Migrate Critical Flows First

Start with flows where notification quality matters most:

payments
uploads
async generation
destructive actions

You will see user impact quickly.

Step 4) Replace Duplicate Toast Patterns

Where you currently create multiple toasts during one action, move to update-in-place with emreToast.update.

This usually delivers immediate UX improvement.

Step 5) Add Undo For Risky Actions

Any archive/delete flow should gain undo during migration.

That one change can reduce user frustration significantly.

Step 6) Standardize Copy During Migration

Migration is the best time to unify message tone and format.

sentence length
verb style
action labels

Consistency matters as much as visuals.

Step 7) Remove Legacy Package

After all key surfaces are migrated and tested:

remove old imports
remove old provider
remove package dependency

Keep the adapter to avoid direct coupling.

Common Pitfalls

migrating UI before copy standards
keeping both systems too long
skipping telemetry comparison before/after migration

Final Recommendation

Do the migration incrementally, but ship improvements intentionally. Users should feel less noise, clearer progress, and safer actions from day one.
