The only way is via JavaScript since it’s using the Shadow DOM and no part is assigned to that element. Here is an example (using Vue).
<ion-toast
ref="myToast"
trigger="open-toast"
message="This toast will disappear after 5 seconds"
:duration="5000"
@ionToastWillPresent="applyStyles"
></ion-toast>
const myToast = ref(null);
function applyStyles() {
const container =
myToast.value.$el.shadowRoot?.querySelector('.toast-content');
if (container) {
container.style.padding = '5px';
}
}
