- Distinguish labels with the default, secondary, destructive, outline, ghost, or link color treatment.
- Render a badge with an alternate element or custom rendering behavior using the Base UI `render` prop.
Examples
Default label
Use the default primary treatment for a short label.

import { Badge } from "@/components/ui/badge"export function NewBadge() { return <Badge>New</Badge>}Status label
Choose a variant to distinguish a status visually.
status-label.tsx
import { Badge } from "@/components/ui/badge"export function StatusBadge() { return <Badge variant="destructive">Needs attention</Badge>}Outline label

PropTypeDefaultDescription
variant"default" | "secondary" | "destructive" | "outline" | "ghost" | "link""default"Selects the badge's visual style. The default variant is `default`.
classNamestring—Additional class names merged with the classes for the selected variant.
renderuseRender.ComponentProps<"span"> render prop—Base UI render customization prop forwarded to `useRender`; the default element is a `span`.
span propsuseRender.ComponentProps<"span">—Other props supported by the Base UI `useRender` component props for a span, such as standard span and global ARIA attributes, are forwarded to `useRender`.
Accessibility
- The default element is a `span`, which does not provide an interactive role or keyboard behavior. Do not use a badge alone as an interactive control.
- Use concise, meaningful text so the label makes sense to assistive technology and in context.
- The component includes focus-visible outline styles, but a span is not normally focusable; use an appropriate interactive element when keyboard interaction is needed.
- An `aria-invalid` attribute triggers destructive border styling, but does not itself provide error text or validation semantics.
