# 6.1	Creating toast

A UDI can create “toast”: a short-lived pop-up message to the user, displayed at the edge of the screen. You create toast using the UDI.createToast() function. This takes two parameters: a definition of the toast to display, and an optional callback function which receives a notification if the user clicks on the toast. For example:

```
UDI.createToast({
	title: "Band breakout",
	text: "Price is above trend band"
}, function(toastDef) {
	// User has clicked on the toast
	// toastDef parameter is the definition passed to createToast
});
```

The available options for toast are described in full in the Framework reference, but the key values are as follows:
