Badges

Documentation and examples for badges, our small count and labeling component.

Small and adaptive tag for adding context to just about any content.

Contents

Example

Badges scale to match the size of the immediate parent element. A minimum font size is enforced to ensure badge text is readable.

IE11 badge sizes

Note that as of v1.1.1 of the Athena Framework, badge sizes do not scale up in IE11 (due to lack of support for the max() CSS function.)

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 .sr-only class.

Pill badges

Use the .badge-pill modifier class to make badges more rounded (with a larger border-radius and additional horizontal padding).

Using the .badge classes with the <a> element quickly provide actionable badges with hover and focus states.
