Badge component scales to suit the size of the parent element by using relative font sizing and em units.

Basic usage#

1<h1>Example heading <CBadge color="secondary">New</CBadge></h1>
2<h2>Example heading <CBadge color="secondary">New</CBadge></h2>
3<h3>Example heading <CBadge color="secondary">New</CBadge></h3>
4<h4>Example heading <CBadge color="secondary">New</CBadge></h4>
5<h5>Example heading <CBadge color="secondary">New</CBadge></h5>
6<h6>Example heading <CBadge color="secondary">New</CBadge></h6>

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

1<CButton color="primary">
2  Notifications <CBadge color="secondary">4</CBadge>
3</CButton>

Remark that depending on how you use them, badges may be complicated for users of screen readers and related assistive technologies.

Unless the context is clear, consider including additional context with a visually hidden piece of additional text.

1<CButton color="primary">
2  Profile <CBadge color="secondary">9</CBadge>
3  <span className="visually-hidden">unread messages</span>
4</CButton>

Positioned#

Use position prop to modify a component and position it in the corner of a link or button.

1<CButton color="primary" className="position-relative">
2  Profile
3  <CBadge color="danger" position="top-start" shape="rounded-pill">
4    99+ <span className="visually-hidden">unread messages</span>
5  </CBadge>
6</CButton>
7<CButton color="primary" className="position-relative">
8  Profile
9  <CBadge color="danger" position="top-end" shape="rounded-pill">
10    99+ <span className="visually-hidden">unread messages</span>
11  </CBadge>
12</CButton>
13<CButton color="primary" className="position-relative">
14  Profile
15  <CBadge color="danger" position="bottom-start" shape="rounded-pill">
16    99+ <span className="visually-hidden">unread messages</span>
17  </CBadge>
18</CButton>
19<CButton color="primary" className="position-relative">

22    99+ <span className="visually-hidden">unread messages</span>
23  </CBadge>
24</CButton>

You can also create more generic indicators without a counter using a few more utilities.

1<CButton color="primary" className="position-relative">
2  Profile
3  <CBadge className="border border-light p-2" color="danger" position="top-end" shape="rounded-circle">
4    <span className="visually-hidden">New alerts</span>
