Badge

Documentation and examples for badges, our small count and labeling component.

Examples

Badges scale to match the size of the immediate parent element by using relative font sizing and em units. As of v5, badges no longer have focus or hover styles for links.

Headings

Example heading New

HTML

template

<h1>Example heading <BBadge>New</BBadge></h1>
<h2>Example heading <BBadge>New</BBadge></h2>
<h3>Example heading <BBadge>New</BBadge></h3>
<h4>Example heading <BBadge>New</BBadge></h4>
<h5>Example heading <BBadge>New</BBadge></h5>
<h6>Example heading <BBadge>New</BBadge></h6>

Buttons

Badges can be used as part of links or buttons to provide a counter.

HTML

template

<BButton variant="primary">Notifications <BBadge variant="light">4</BBadge></BButton>

Note that depending on how they are used, badges may be confusing for users of screen readers and similar assistive technologies. While the styling of badges provides a visual cue as to their purpose, these users will simply be presented with the content of the badge. Depending on the specific situation, these badges may seem like random additional words or numbers at the end of a sentence, link, or button.

Unless the context is clear (as with the “Notifications” example, where it is understood that the “4” is the number of notifications), consider including additional context with a visually hidden piece of additional text.

Positioned

Use the placement property to position it relative to a parent link or button. Note that for links of buttons, you haveto manually apply the postition-relative class to the badge's parent, unlike with Avatars where that is hanlded automatically.

HTML

template

<BButton variant="primary" class="position-relative">
  Inbox
  <BBadge variant="danger" placement="top-end">
    99+
    <span class="visually-hidden">unread messages</span>
  </BBadge>
</BButton>

The Badge component also implements a dot-indicator property to transform the badge into a more generic indicator. Please note that you have to manually apply the position-relative class to the parent button.

HTML

template

<BButton variant="primary" class="position-relative">
  Inbox
  <BBadge variant="danger" dot-indicator>
    <span class="visually-hidden">New alerts</span>
  </BBadge>
</BButton>

Background colors

Add any of the following variants via the variant prop to change the appearance of a BBadge: default, primary, success, warning, info, and danger. If no variant is specified default will be used.

PrimarySecondarySuccessDangerWarningInfoLightDark

HTML

template

<BBadge variant="primary">Primary</BBadge>
<BBadge variant="secondary">Secondary</BBadge>
<BBadge variant="success">Success</BBadge>
<BBadge variant="danger">Danger</BBadge>
<BBadge variant="warning">Warning</BBadge>
<BBadge variant="info">Info</BBadge>
<BBadge variant="light">Light</BBadge>
<BBadge variant="dark">Dark</BBadge>

Conveying meaning to assistive technologies

Using color to add meaning only provides a visual indication, which will not be conveyed to users of assistive technologies – such as screen readers. Ensure that information denoted by the color is either obvious from the content itself (e.g. the visible text), or is included through alternative means, such as additional text hidden with the .visually-hidden class.

Interactions between Variant props

BBadge implements bg-variant and text-variant to provide finer control of colors, they take precedence over the variant prop. See the Color Variant Reference for details.

Pill badges

Use the pill prop to make badges more rounded with a larger border-radius.

HTML

template

<BBadge variant="primary" pill>Primary</BBadge>
<BBadge variant="secondary" pill>Secondary</BBadge>
<BBadge variant="success" pill>Success</BBadge>
<BBadge variant="danger" pill>Danger</BBadge>
<BBadge variant="warning" pill>Warning</BBadge>
<BBadge variant="info" pill>Info</BBadge>
<BBadge variant="light" pill>Light</BBadge>
<BBadge variant="dark" pill>Dark</BBadge>

Actionable badges

Quickly provide actionable badges by specifying either the href prop (links) or to prop (router-links):

HTML

template

<BBadge href="#" variant="primary">Primary</BBadge>
<BBadge href="#" variant="secondary">Secondary</BBadge>
<BBadge href="#" variant="success">Success</BBadge>
<BBadge href="#" variant="danger">Danger</BBadge>
<BBadge href="#" variant="warning">Warning</BBadge>
<BBadge href="#" variant="info">Info</BBadge>
