<Badge variant="positive">Licensed</Badge>

<Badge variant="positive">Licensed</Badge>

<Badge variant="positive">

</Badge>

Content#

Badges can have a label, an icon, or both. An icon is provided by passing an icon component as a child to the Badge. A visible label can be provided by passing a string or a Text component as a child, depending on whether the Badge has an accompanying icon.

import {Text} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';
import CheckmarkCircle from '@spectrum-icons/workflow/CheckmarkCircle';

<Badge variant="positive">
  <CheckmarkCircle aria-label="Done" />
  <Text>Icon + Label</Text>
</Badge>

import {Text} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';
import CheckmarkCircle from '@spectrum-icons/workflow/CheckmarkCircle';

<Badge variant="positive">
  <CheckmarkCircle aria-label="Done" />
  <Text>Icon + Label</Text>
</Badge>

import {Text} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';
import CheckmarkCircle from '@spectrum-icons/workflow/CheckmarkCircle';

<Badge variant="positive">
  <CheckmarkCircle aria-label="Done" />
  <Text>
    Icon + Label
  </Text>
</Badge>

Accessibility#

If a visible label isn't specified, an aria-label must be provided to the icon for accessibility.

Internationalization#

To internationalize a Badge, a localized string should be set as the child content of the Badge. For languages that are read right-to-left (e.g. Hebrew and Arabic), the Badge is automatically flipped.

When badges have a semantic meaning, they should use semantic colors. Use the appropriate color to indicate status as follows.

import {Flex} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';

<Flex direction="column" gap={8}>
  <Badge variant="positive">
    Green: Approved, Complete, Success, New, Purchased, Licensed
  </Badge>
  <Badge variant="info">Blue: Active, In Use, Live, Published</Badge>
  <Badge variant="negative">Red: Error, Alert, Rejected, Failed</Badge>
  <Badge variant="neutral">
    Gray: Archived, Deleted, Paused, Draft, Not Started, Ended
  </Badge>
</Flex>

When badges are used to color code categories, they use label colors. The ideal usage for these is when there are 8 or fewer categories being color coded.

import {Flex} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';

<Flex direction="column" gap={8}>
  <Badge variant="seafoam">Seafoam</Badge>
  <Badge variant="indigo">Indigo</Badge>
  <Badge variant="purple">Purple</Badge>
  <Badge variant="fuchsia">Fuchsia</Badge>
  <Badge variant="magenta">Magenta</Badge>
  <Badge variant="yellow">Yellow</Badge>
</Flex>

  <Badge variant="fuchsia">Fuchsia</Badge>
