Examples

Variants

Set the variant attribute to change the badge’s variant.

Primary Success Neutral Warning Danger
<sl-badge variant="primary">Primary</sl-badge>
<sl-badge variant="success">Success</sl-badge>
<sl-badge variant="neutral">Neutral</sl-badge>
<sl-badge variant="warning">Warning</sl-badge>
<sl-badge variant="danger">Danger</sl-badge>
import SlBadge from '@shoelace-style/shoelace/dist/react/badge';

const App = () => (
  <>
    <SlBadge variant="primary">Primary</SlBadge>
    <SlBadge variant="success">Success</SlBadge>
    <SlBadge variant="neutral">Neutral</SlBadge>
    <SlBadge variant="warning">Warning</SlBadge>
    <SlBadge variant="danger">Danger</SlBadge>
  </>
);

Pill Badges

Use the pill attribute to give badges rounded edges.

Primary Success Neutral Warning Danger
<sl-badge variant="primary" pill>Primary</sl-badge>
<sl-badge variant="success" pill>Success</sl-badge>
<sl-badge variant="neutral" pill>Neutral</sl-badge>
<sl-badge variant="warning" pill>Warning</sl-badge>
<sl-badge variant="danger" pill>Danger</sl-badge>
import SlBadge from '@shoelace-style/shoelace/dist/react/badge';

const App = () => (
  <>
    <SlBadge variant="primary" pill>
      Primary
    </SlBadge>
    <SlBadge variant="success" pill>
      Success
    </SlBadge>
    <SlBadge variant="neutral" pill>
      Neutral
    </SlBadge>
    <SlBadge variant="warning" pill>
      Warning
    </SlBadge>
    <SlBadge variant="danger" pill>
      Danger
    </SlBadge>
  </>
);

Pulsating Badges

Use the pulse attribute to draw attention to the badge with a subtle animation.

1 1 1 1 1
<div class="badge-pulse">
  <sl-badge variant="primary" pill pulse>1</sl-badge>
  <sl-badge variant="success" pill pulse>1</sl-badge>
  <sl-badge variant="neutral" pill pulse>1</sl-badge>
  <sl-badge variant="warning" pill pulse>1</sl-badge>
  <sl-badge variant="danger" pill pulse>1</sl-badge>
</div>

<style>
  .badge-pulse sl-badge:not(:last-of-type) {
    margin-right: 1rem;
  }
</style>
import SlBadge from '@shoelace-style/shoelace/dist/react/badge';

const css = `
  .badge-pulse sl-badge:not(:last-of-type) {
    margin-right: 1rem;
  }
`;

const App = () => (
  <>
    <div className="badge-pulse">
      <SlBadge variant="primary" pill pulse>
        1
      </SlBadge>
      <SlBadge variant="success" pill pulse>
        1
      </SlBadge>
      <SlBadge variant="neutral" pill pulse>
        1
      </SlBadge>
      <SlBadge variant="warning" pill pulse>
        1
      </SlBadge>
      <SlBadge variant="danger" pill pulse>
        1
      </SlBadge>
    </div>

    <style>{css}</style>
  </>
);

With Buttons

One of the most common use cases for badges is attaching them to buttons. To make this easier, badges will be automatically positioned at the top-right when they’re a child of a button.

Requests 30 Warnings 8 Errors 6
<sl-button>
  Requests
  <sl-badge pill>30</sl-badge>
</sl-button>

<sl-button style="margin-inline-start: 1rem;">
  Warnings
  <sl-badge variant="warning" pill>8</sl-badge>
</sl-button>

<sl-button style="margin-inline-start: 1rem;">
  Errors
  <sl-badge variant="danger" pill>6</sl-badge>
</sl-button>
import SlBadge from '@shoelace-style/shoelace/dist/react/badge';
import SlButton from '@shoelace-style/shoelace/dist/react/button';

const App = () => (
  <>
    <SlButton>
      Requests
      <SlBadge pill>30</SlBadge>
    </SlButton>

    <SlButton style={{ marginInlineStart: '1rem' }}>
      Warnings
      <SlBadge variant="warning" pill>
        8
      </SlBadge>
    </SlButton>

    <SlButton style={{ marginInlineStart: '1rem' }}>
      Errors
      <SlBadge variant="danger" pill>
        6
      </SlBadge>
    </SlButton>
  </>
);

With Menu Items

When including badges in menu items, use the suffix slot to make sure they’re aligned correctly.

Messages Comments 4 Replies 12
<sl-menu style="max-width: 240px;">
  <sl-menu-label>Messages</sl-menu-label>
  <sl-menu-item>Comments <sl-badge slot="suffix" variant="neutral" pill>4</sl-badge></sl-menu-item>
  <sl-menu-item>Replies <sl-badge slot="suffix" variant="neutral" pill>12</sl-badge></sl-menu-item>
</sl-menu>
import SlBadge from '@shoelace-style/shoelace/dist/react/badge';
import SlButton from '@shoelace-style/shoelace/dist/react/button';
import SlMenu from '@shoelace-style/shoelace/dist/react/menu';
import SlMenuItem from '@shoelace-style/shoelace/dist/react/menu-item';
import SlMenuLabel from '@shoelace-style/shoelace/dist/react/menu-label';

const App = () => (
  <SlMenu
    style={{
      maxWidth: '240px',
      border: 'solid 1px var(--sl-panel-border-color)',
      borderRadius: 'var(--sl-border-radius-medium)'
    }}
  >
    <SlMenuLabel>Messages</SlMenuLabel>
    <SlMenuItem>
      Comments
      <SlBadge slot="suffix" variant="neutral" pill>
        4
      </SlBadge>
    </SlMenuItem>
    <SlMenuItem>
      Replies
      <SlBadge slot="suffix" variant="neutral" pill>
        12
      </SlBadge>
    </SlMenuItem>
  </SlMenu>
);
