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

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.

Contextual variations

Add any of the below mentioned modifier classes to change the appearance of a badge.

.primary .secondary .red .green .blue .yellow .white .black

Link

Using the contextual .badge-* classes on an <a> element quickly provide actionable badges with hover and focus states.

Pill badges

Pulse badges

Add the .pulse class to make badges pulsate.

.primary .secondary .red .green .blue .yellow .white .black
