Badges on Bootstrap

Light Badges

<span class="badge badge-light-primary">Primary</span>
<span class="badge badge-light-secondary">Secondary</span>
<span class="badge badge-light-info">Info</span>
<span class="badge badge-light-success">Success</span>
<span class="badge badge-light-danger">Danger</span>
<span class="badge badge-light-warning">Warning</span>
Primary Secondary Info Success Danger Warning

Background Color

Use our background utility classes to quickly change the appearance of a badge. Please note that when using Bootstrap’s default .bg-light, you’ll likely need a text color utility like .text-dark for proper styling. This is because background utilities do not set anything but background-color.

<span class="badge bg-primary">Primary</span>
<span class="badge bg-secondary">Secondary</span>
<span class="badge bg-success">Success</span>
<span class="badge bg-info">Info</span>
<span class="badge bg-warning">Warning</span>
<span class="badge bg-danger">Danger</span>
Primary Secondary Success Info Warning Danger

Buttons

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.

<button class="btn btn-primary d-flex align-items-center" type="button">Notifications <span class="badge bg-primary-500 ms-2">4</span></button>

Positioned

Use utilities to modify a .badge and position it in the corner of a link or button.

<button class="btn btn-primary position-relative" type="button">
  Inbox<span class="position-absolute top-0 start-100 translate-middle badge rounded-pill bg-primary-500">99+<span class="visually-hidden">unread messages</span></span>
</button>
