Undo Snackbar: Free React + Tailwind Component

An undo prompt bar with a countdown progress ring that confirms the action automatically when time runs out.

A snackbar that pops up from the bottom after a destructive action, holding a message, an undo button, and an SVG ring countdown (five seconds by default): pressing undo cancels the action and reports through onUndo, while the countdown reaching zero fires onCommit to make the action take effect for real. The countdown pauses automatically on pointer hover or keyboard focus. You can wire it up directly with controlled props, or use useUndoSnackbar for ready-made state management.

The complete example includes the preview layout and data. Install the component first, then paste this file into your project.

Installation

npx webberui@latest add https://webberui.com/r/undo-snackbar.en.json

Or, once registries are configured in components.json, install it as @webberui/undo-snackbar.

Usage

import { UndoSnackbar, useUndoSnackbar } from "@/components/ui/undo-snackbar";

function Inbox() {
  const { show, snackbarProps } = useUndoSnackbar({ duration: 5000 });

  const handleDelete = (item: Item) => {
    hideItem(item.id); // optimistically remove it from the screen first
    show(`Deleted "${item.title}"`, {
      onUndo: () => restoreItem(item.id), // undo pressed within five seconds → restore
      onCommit: () => permanentlyDelete(item.id), // timed out → delete for real
    });
  };

  return (
    <>
      {/* ...list... */}
      <UndoSnackbar {...snackbarProps} />
    </>
  );
}

You can also skip the hook and manage the open state yourself with controlled props, closing it inside onUndo / onCommit.

Props

UndoSnackbar

Prop	Type	Default	Description
`open`	`boolean`	—	Whether the snackbar is shown (controlled); close it inside `onUndo` / `onCommit`
`message`	`string`	—	The snackbar message text
`duration`	`number`	`5000`	Total countdown duration (milliseconds); reaching zero fires `onCommit`
`undoLabel`	`string`	`"Undo"`	Text of the undo button — the built-in default is the meaning "Undo", so pass this prop to localize it
`onUndo`	`() => void`	—	Called when undo is pressed: cancels the action and closes
`onCommit`	`() => void`	—	Called when the countdown ends: the action takes effect for real
`resetKey`	`number \| string`	—	When showing the same message repeatedly, changing this value restarts the countdown
`positioning`	`"fixed" \| "absolute"`	`"fixed"`	Snaps to the bottom of the window or of the nearest positioned ancestor
`className`	`string`	—	Forwarded to the snackbar panel

useUndoSnackbar

Item	Type	Description
`options.duration`	`number`	Total countdown duration (milliseconds), default `5000`
`options.undoLabel`	`string`	Text of the undo button
`show(message, handlers?)`	`function`	Shows the snackbar and registers `onUndo` / `onCommit`; any pending action still outstanding is committed immediately first
`close()`	`function`	Closes silently, firing no callback
`snackbarProps`	`UndoSnackbarProps`	Spread straight into `<UndoSnackbar {...snackbarProps} />`

Accessibility

The snackbar uses role="status" and aria-live="polite", so the message is announced automatically by the screen reader when it appears
The countdown pauses on pointer hover or keyboard focus (tabbing to the undo button) and only resumes once you leave, guaranteeing enough time to react
Undo is a native <button> with full keyboard support and a focus-visible focus ring
The ring countdown and the remaining seconds are visual aids and are hidden from assistive technology (aria-hidden)
When the user has "reduce motion" enabled at the system level, the enter and exit become a plain fade in / fade out with no offset or spring animation
