Badges

Documentation and examples for badges, our small count and labeling component. Read the Official Bootstrap Documentation for a full list of instructions and other options.

Basic example

Badges scale to match the size of the immediate parent element by using relative font sizing and em units.

Buttons

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

<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">
	Notifications <span class="badge bg-light text-dark">4</span>
</button>

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 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.

<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>

Contextual variations

Use background utility classes to quickly change the appearance of a badge.
