React-Toastify styling issue in TypeScript - Unable to set z-index for Toast container

Question

I am currently developing a React application using TypeScript and integrating the React-Toastify library to display notifications.

However, I ran into some styling issues with the ToastContainer component. Specifically, I want to set the ToastContainer's z-index to 1000, but I've tried unsuccessfully to do this using inline styles.

<ToastContainer
style={{ fontSize: "14px", zIndex: "1000" }}
autoClose={2000}
hideProgressBar={true}
/>

Despite setting the z-index to 1000, the ToastContainer does not appear on top of other elements as expected. I also checked if there are any other CSS styles affecting the component, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

I researched this problem online and tried various solutions suggested by the community, such as using global CSS and overriding styles via classes, but none of them worked.

Can someone please guide me on how to resolve styling issues with the ToastContainer component and set the z-index correctly?

Answer 1

This is the injected element

<div class="Toastify"></div>

This is the style of div. I don't see any position settings. If you add the position attribute your code should work
