Change the default toast duration #28185
Description

Hi @vanillajonathan,
You can override that by passing options when you create your toasts for example:
$('#yourToast').toast({ delay: 2000 })
But you're right on one thing, we should be able to change the default options of our Toast plugin, to allow you to change that for all of your toasts 🤔

[-]Change the default toast duration[/-][+]Allow to change default config for Toasts[/+]on Feb 6, 2019 @vanillajonathan #28186 merged so in our next release you'll be able to do:
bootstrap.Toast.Default.delay = 2000
And it'll be the default delay for all of your toasts 😉
Yes, I am aware that the duration can be changed by passing in options. My point was that the default duration is too short.
Also my request is not for the introduction of a variable or property to define the default duration, but for the Bootstrap project to consider increasing the default duration.

[-]Allow to change default config for Toasts[/-][+]Change the default toast duration[/+]on Feb 6, 2019 Android have constants for a long and a short duration, they are 4 seconds for the short toast and 7 seconds for the long toast.
These might be well thought out (or not?) durations backed by UX research.
static final long SHORT_DURATION_TIMEOUT = 4000; static final long LONG_DURATION_TIMEOUT = 7000;
The default toast duration is 500 milliseconds.
I would argue that this duration is too short which leads to the toast often disappearing before user can fully read the toast message.
I argue in favor of raising the default toast duration.
Android also have the concept of toasts and provides two constants.
SHORT_DELAYat 2000 ms andLONG_DELAYat 3500 ms.
