BS4 Badges

Last modified on: October 26, 2024

<h1>Bootstrap 4 Badges</h1>
<p>Badges in Bootstrap 4 are small count or status indicators that add context or highlight information on buttons, navigation items, and other UI components. They&rsquo;re a great way to draw attention to items needing user action or to indicate a count (e.g., unread messages, notifications).</p>
<h2>Key Features of Bootstrap 4 Badges</h2>
<ol>
<li><strong>Inline Elements</strong>: Add badges within text, buttons, or other elements.</li>
<li><strong>Colors and Contextual Styles</strong>: Use different color classes (e.g., <code>.badge-primary</code>, <code>.badge-success</code>) to convey various meanings.</li>
<li><strong>Pill Badges</strong>: Use rounded "pill" styles to give badges a softer look.</li>
<li><strong>Interactive Counters</strong>: Easily add counters to navigation or button items.</li>
</ol>
<h2>Basic Badge Structure</h2>
<p>Bootstrap badges are created using the <code>.badge</code> class. They can be easily added to headings, text, buttons, or any other elements.</p>

<p>This is a basic badge example with default styling:</p>
<div class="contain-inline-size rounded-md border-[0.5px] border-token-border-medium relative bg-token-sidebar-surface-primary dark:bg-gray-950">

<h3>2. Badge on Buttons</h3>
<p>Badges are often used on buttons to show a count or status:</p>
<div class="contain-inline-size rounded-md border-[0.5px] border-token-border-medium relative bg-token-sidebar-surface-primary dark:bg-gray-950">
<div class="flex items-center text-token-text-secondary px-4 py-2 text-xs font-sans justify-between rounded-t-md h-9 bg-token-sidebar-surface-primary dark:bg-token-main-surface-secondary">html</div>
<div class="sticky top-9 md:top-[5.75rem]">
<div class="absolute bottom-0 right-2 flex h-9 items-center">
<div class="flex items-center rounded bg-token-sidebar-surface-primary px-2 font-sans text-xs text-token-text-secondary dark:bg-token-main-surface-secondary">
<pre class="language-markup"><code>&lt;button type="button" class="btn btn-primary"&gt;
    Notifications &lt;span class="badge badge-light"&gt;4&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/button&gt;
</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<h3>3. Contextual Badges</h3>
<p>You can use color-coded badges for different contexts, like primary, success, danger, etc.</p>
<div class="contain-inline-size rounded-md border-[0.5px] border-token-border-medium relative bg-token-sidebar-surface-primary dark:bg-gray-950">
<div class="flex items-center text-token-text-secondary px-4 py-2 text-xs font-sans justify-between rounded-t-md h-9 bg-token-sidebar-surface-primary dark:bg-token-main-surface-secondary">html</div>
<div class="sticky top-9 md:top-[5.75rem]">
<div class="absolute bottom-0 right-2 flex h-9 items-center">
<div class="flex items-center rounded bg-token-sidebar-surface-primary px-2 font-sans text-xs text-token-text-secondary dark:bg-token-main-surface-secondary">
<pre class="language-markup"><code>&lt;span class="badge badge-primary"&gt;Primary&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="badge badge-success"&gt;Success&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="badge badge-danger"&gt;Danger&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="badge badge-warning"&gt;Warning&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="badge badge-info"&gt;Info&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="badge badge-dark"&gt;Dark&lt;/span&gt;
</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<h3>4. Pill Badges</h3>
<p>Add <code>.badge-pill</code> to round out the edges of badges, giving them a pill shape:</p>
<div class="contain-inline-size rounded-md border-[0.5px] border-token-border-medium relative bg-token-sidebar-surface-primary dark:bg-gray-950">
<div class="flex items-center text-token-text-secondary px-4 py-2 text-xs font-sans justify-between rounded-t-md h-9 bg-token-sidebar-surface-primary dark:bg-token-main-surface-secondary">html</div>
<div class="sticky top-9 md:top-[5.75rem]">
<div class="absolute bottom-0 right-2 flex h-9 items-center">
<div class="flex items-center rounded bg-token-sidebar-surface-primary px-2 font-sans text-xs text-token-text-secondary dark:bg-token-main-surface-secondary">
<pre class="language-markup"><code>&lt;span class="badge badge-pill badge-primary"&gt;Primary Pill&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="badge badge-pill badge-success"&gt;Success Pill&lt;/span&gt;
</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<h3>5. Badge on List Items</h3>
<p>Add badges to list items in navigation to show counts or statuses:</p>
<div class="contain-inline-size rounded-md border-[0.5px] border-token-border-medium relative bg-token-sidebar-surface-primary dark:bg-gray-950">
<div class="flex items-center text-token-text-secondary px-4 py-2 text-xs font-sans justify-between rounded-t-md h-9 bg-token-sidebar-surface-primary dark:bg-token-main-surface-secondary">html</div>
<div class="sticky top-9 md:top-[5.75rem]">

<div class="flex items-center rounded bg-token-sidebar-surface-primary px-2 font-sans text-xs text-token-text-secondary dark:bg-token-main-surface-secondary">
<pre class="language-markup"><code>&lt;ul class="list-group"&gt;
    &lt;li class="list-group-item d-flex justify-content-between align-items-center"&gt;
        Inbox
        &lt;span class="badge badge-primary badge-pill"&gt;5&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li class="list-group-item d-flex justify-content-between align-items-center"&gt;
        Drafts
        &lt;span class="badge badge-secondary badge-pill"&gt;12&lt;/span&gt;

        Trash
