Module 14: Adding Toast-Style Notifications

1. Add the toast plugin to your project:

   $ ionic plugin add https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/Toast-PhoneGap-Plugin
   

2. Add a function to handle displaying a toast message in the AppCtrl in controllers.js. The code will fall back on an ionic sort of hack to display a similar type of toast message when testing in the browser.

   function showToast(message) {
           if (window.plugins && window.plugins.toast) {
               window.plugins.toast.showShortCenter(message);
           }
           else $ionicLoading.show({ template: message, noBackdrop: true, duration: 2000 });
       }
   

   Now it can be called from where it's needed using:

   showToast($scope.msg);
