 | `hide` | Hides an element's toast. **Returns to the caller before the toast has actually been hidden** (i.e. before the `hidden.bs.toast` event occurs). You have to manually call this method if you made `autohide` to `false`. |
+| `isShown` | Returns a boolean according to toast's visibility state. |
 | `dispose` | Hides an element's toast. Your toast will remain on the DOM but won't show anymore. |
 | `getInstance` | *Static* method which allows you to get the scrollspy instance associated with a DOM element. <br> For example: `const myToastEl = document.getElementById('myToastEl')` `const myToast = bootstrap.Toast.getInstance(myToastEl)` Returns a Bootstrap toast instance|
 | `getOrCreateInstance` | *Static* method which allows you to get the scrollspy instance associated with a DOM element, or create a new one, in case it wasn't initialized.  <br>`const myToastEl = document.getElementById('myToastEl')`  `const myToast = bootstrap.Toast.getOrCreateInstance(myToastEl)` Returns a Bootstrap toast instance |
