#### Toast Component Features

1. **Automatic Dismissal**: The `Toast` component automatically disappears after a specified duration, ensuring that it does not clutter the user interface.
2. **Customization**: You can customize the appearance and content of the toast message to suit your application's design and notification needs.
3. **User Interaction**: Users can click on the toast to dismiss it manually, providing them with control over notifications.

#### Toast Component Props

The `Toast` component accepts the following props:

* `message` (string, optional): The message to be displayed in the toast notification.
* `duration` (number, optional): The duration (in milliseconds) for which the toast remains visible before automatically disappearing. Defaults to 3000 milliseconds (3 seconds).

#### Toast Component Usage

To use the `Toast` component in your React application:

Import the component:

```
import { showToast } from '@questLabs/react-sdk';
```

Trigger a toast notification by calling the `showToast` function:

```
showToast(
  <div>
    <img src={streak} alt="" />
    Your custom message here
    <img src={xButton} alt="" />
  </div>,
  5000 // Duration in milliseconds
);
```

The Toast service can be used any where in your react app (also out side of react component function)
