The [snackbar component](https://m3.material.io/components/snackbar/overview) serves as a brief notification that appears at the
bottom of the screen. It provides feedback about an operation or action without
interrupting the user experience. Snackbars disappear after a few seconds. The
user can also dismiss them with an action, such as tapping a button.

Consider these three use cases where you might use a snackbar:

- **Action Confirmation:** After a user deletes an email or message, a snackbar appears to confirm the action and offer an **Undo** option.
- **Network Status:** When the app loses its internet connection, a snackbar pops up to note that it is now offline.
- **Data Submission:** Upon successfully submitting a form or updating settings, a snackbar notes that the change has saved successfully.

![Examples of snackbar UI components.](https://developer.android.com/static/develop/ui/compose/images/layouts/material/m3-snackbar.png) **Figure 1.** Snackbar examples.

## Basic example

To implement a snackbar, you first create [`SnackbarHost`](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/material3/SnackbarHost.composable.md.txt#SnackbarHost(androidx.compose.material3.SnackbarHostState,androidx.compose.ui.Modifier,kotlin.Function1)), which includes a
[`SnackbarHostState`](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/material3/SnackbarHostState.md.txt) property. `SnackbarHostState` provides access to the
[`showSnackbar()`](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/material3/SnackbarHostState.md.txt#showsnackbar) function which you can use to display your snackbar.

This suspending function requires a `CoroutineScope`---like the one returned by
[`rememberCoroutineScope`](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/runtime/rememberCoroutineScope.composable.md.txt)---and can be called in response to UI events to
show a [`Snackbar`](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/material3/Snackbar.composable.md.txt) within `Scaffold`.


```kotlin
val scope = rememberCoroutineScope()
val snackbarHostState = remember { SnackbarHostState() }
Scaffold(
    snackbarHost = {
        SnackbarHost(hostState = snackbarHostState)
    },
    floatingActionButton = {
        ExtendedFloatingActionButton(
            text = { Text("Show snackbar") },
            icon = { Icon(Icons.Filled.Image, contentDescription = "") },
            onClick = {
                scope.launch {
                    snackbarHostState.showSnackbar("Snackbar")
                }
            }
        )
    }
) { contentPadding ->
    // Screen content
}
```

<br />

## Snackbar with action

You can provide an optional action and adjust the duration of the `Snackbar`.
The `snackbarHostState.showSnackbar()` function accepts additional `actionLabel`
and `duration` parameters, and returns a [`SnackbarResult`](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/material3/SnackbarResult.md.txt).


```kotlin
val scope = rememberCoroutineScope()
val snackbarHostState = remember { SnackbarHostState() }
Scaffold(
    snackbarHost = {
        SnackbarHost(hostState = snackbarHostState)
    },
    floatingActionButton = {
        ExtendedFloatingActionButton(
            text = { Text("Show snackbar") },
            icon = { Icon(Icons.Filled.Image, contentDescription = "") },
            onClick = {
                scope.launch {
                    val result = snackbarHostState
                        .showSnackbar(
                            message = "Snackbar",
                            actionLabel = "Action",
                            // Defaults to SnackbarDuration.Short
                            duration = SnackbarDuration.Indefinite
                        )
                    when (result) {
                        SnackbarResult.ActionPerformed -> {
                            /* Handle snackbar action performed */
                        }
                        SnackbarResult.Dismissed -> {
                            /* Handle snackbar dismissed */
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        )
    }
) { contentPadding ->
    // Screen content
}
```

<br />

You can provide a custom `Snackbar` with the `snackbarHost` parameter. See the
[`SnackbarHost` API reference docs](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/material3/SnackbarHost.composable.md.txt#SnackbarHost(androidx.compose.material3.SnackbarHostState,androidx.compose.ui.Modifier,kotlin.Function1)) for more information.

### Key points

- `actionLabel = "Action"`: Sets the action button text.
- `duration = SnackbarDuration.Indefinite`: Keeps the snackbar displayed until the user or program dismisses it.
- `SnackbarResult.ActionPerformed`: Signifies that the user clicked the snackbar's action button.
- `SnackbarResult.Dismissed`: Signifies that the user dismissed the snackbar without clicking the action button.
