Basic example

Example heading New

        
            
        <template>
          Example heading <MDBBadge color="primary">New</MDBBadge>
        </template>
        
        
    
        
            
        <script>
          import {
            MDBBadge
          } from "mdb-vue-ui-kit";
          export default {
            components: {
              MDBBadge
            }
          };
        </script>

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.

        <script>
          import {
            MDBBadge
          } from "mdb-vue-ui-kit";
          export default {
            components: {
              MDBBadge
            }
          };
        </script>

Button

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

        
            
        <template>
          <MDBBtn color="primary">
            Notifications <MDBBadge color="danger" class="ms-2">8</MDBBadge>
          </MDBBtn>
        </template>
        
        
    
        
            
        <script>
          import {
            MDBBadge,
            MDBBtn
          } from "mdb-vue-ui-kit";
          export default {
            components: {
              MDBBadge,
              MDBBtn
            }
          };
        </script>

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. 

        
            
        <template>
          <MDBBtn color="primary">
            Profile
            <MDBBadge color="danger" class="ms-2">9</MDBBadge>
            <span class="visually-hidden">unread messages</span>
          </MDBBtn>
        </template>
        
        
    
        
            
        <script>
          import {
            MDBBadge,
            MDBBtn
          } from "mdb-vue-ui-kit";
          export default {
            components: {
              MDBBadge,
              MDBBtn
            }
          };
        </script>

Colors

Background colors

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

            <MDBBadge color="primary">Primary</MDBBadge>

            <MDBBadge color="light" class="text-dark">Light</MDBBadge>
            <MDBBadge color="dark">Dark</MDBBadge>
          </template>
          
        
    
        
            
          <script>
            import {
              MDBBadge
            } from "mdb-vue-ui-kit";
            export default {
              components: {
                MDBBadge
              }
            };
          </script>

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.

Badge colors

You can also use smoother badge colors with badge property

Pills

Use the pill property to make badges more rounded with a larger border-radius.
