Badges

Responsive Badges built with the latest Bootstrap 5. Badges add extra information like count or label to any content. Use counters, icons, or labels. Many examples and easy tutorial.
Documentation and examples for badges, our small count and labeling component.
Basic example
Use .badge class to provide your visitors with highlighted, new or unread items by adding it to links, text navs, and more.
Example heading New
<h2>Example heading <span class="badge badge-primary">New</span></h2>
Sizes
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.

Colors
Use our badge color classes to quickly change the appearance of a badge.
<span class="badge badge-primary">Primary</span>
<span class="badge badge-secondary">Secondary</span>
<span class="badge badge-success">Success</span>
<span class="badge badge-danger">Danger</span>
<span class="badge badge-warning">Warning</span>
<span class="badge badge-info">Info</span>
<span class="badge badge-light">Light</span>
<span class="badge badge-dark">Dark</span>
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.
Pills
Use the .rounded-pill utility class to make badges more rounded with a larger
border-radius.
<span class="badge rounded-pill badge-primary">Primary</span>
<span class="badge rounded-pill badge-secondary">Secondary</span>
<span class="badge rounded-pill badge-success">Success</span>
<span class="badge rounded-pill badge-danger">Danger</span>
<span class="badge rounded-pill badge-warning">Warning</span>
<span class="badge rounded-pill badge-info">Info</span>
<span class="badge rounded-pill badge-light">Light</span>
<span class="badge rounded-pill badge-dark">Dark</span>
Positioned
Use utilities to modify a .badge and position it in the corner of a link or button.
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary position-relative">
Inbox
<span class="position-absolute top-0 start-100 translate-middle badge rounded-pill badge-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.
<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>
With avatar
<div class="d-inline-flex position-relative">
<span class="position-absolute top-0 start-100 translate-middle p-1 bg-danger border border-light rounded-circle">
<span class="visually-hidden">New alerts</span>
</span>
<img class="rounded-4 shadow-4" src="https://mdbootstrap.com/img/Photos/Avatars/man2.jpg" alt="Avatar" style="width: 50px; height: 50px;">
</div>
Icon notifications

.badge-notification class to create a facebook-like notification.

</a>
<a href="">
<i class="fas fa-envelope fa-lg"></i>
<span class="badge rounded-pill badge-notification bg-danger">1</span>
