Badges

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

Background colors

Use our background utility classes to quickly change the appearance of a badge. Please note that when using Bootstrap’s default .bg-light, you’ll likely need a text color utility like .text-dark for proper styling. This is because background utilities do not set anything but background-color.

  <!-- Light badge -->
  <span class="badge bg-light text-dark">Light</span>

  <!-- Dark badge -->
  <span class="badge bg-dark">Dark</span>

Pill badges

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

  <!-- Light badge -->
  <span class="badge rounded-pill bg-light text-dark">Light</span>

  <!-- Dark badge -->
  <span class="badge rounded-pill bg-dark">Dark</span>

Buttons

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

 <!-- Button -->
 <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">
   Notifications <span class="badge bg-secondary">4</span>
 </button>

Positioned

Use utilities to modify a .badge and position it in the corner of a link or button. 

<!-- Positioned -->
 <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary position-relative">
  Inbox
  <span class="position-absolute top-0 start-100 translate-middle badge rounded-pill bg-danger">
    99+
    <span class="visually-hidden">unread messages</span>
  </span>
 </button>

You can also replace the .badge class with a few more utilities without a count for a more generic indicator.

<!-- Positioned -->
 <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary position-relative">
 Profile
 <span class="position-absolute top-0 start-100 translate-middle p-2 bg-danger border border-light rounded-circle">
   <span class="visually-hidden">New alerts</span>
 </span>
</button>

Dot

Use .badge-dot classes on an <a> element quickly provide actionable badges with hover and focus states.
