```jsx
import React from 'react'

// import toast object and toast container from react-nextjs-toast
import { toast, ToastContainer } from 'react-nextjs-toast'

// Your react component
class Card extends React.Component {

  // something ...

  // call toast.notify() here
  onClickNotify = () => {
    toast.notify(`Hi, I am a toast!`)
  }

  render(){
    return (<div>
    
        {/** Add toast component **/}
        <ToastContainer />

        
        <button
          onClick={this.onClickNotify} {/** call on click handler **/}
        >Notify</button>
      </div>
    )
  }
}
