Badges are used to highlight an item's status for quick recognition.

The Badge component is a single part component. All of the styling is applied directly to the span element.

To learn more about styling single part components, visit the Component Style page.

Theming properties#

The properties that affect the theming of the Badge component are:

variant: The visual variant of the badge. Defaults to subtle.
colorScheme: The color scheme of the badge. Defaults to gray.
size: The size of the badge.

Theming utilities#

defineStyle: a function used to create style objects.
defineStyleConfig: a function used to define the style configuration for a single part component.

import { defineStyle, defineStyleConfig } from '@chakra-ui/react'

Customizing the default theme#

import { defineStyle, defineStyleConfig } from '@chakra-ui/react'

const boxy = defineStyle({
  border: '1px solid', // change the appearance of the border
  borderRadius: 0, // remove the border radius
})

export const badgeTheme = defineStyleConfig({
  variants: { boxy },
})

After customizing the badge theme, we can import it in our theme file and add it in the components property:

import { extendTheme } from '@chakra-ui/react'
import { badgeTheme } from './components/badge'

export const theme = extendTheme({
  components: { Badge: badgeTheme },
})

This is a crucial step to make sure that any changes that we make to the badge theme are applied.

Adding a custom size#

Let's assume we want to include an extra large badge size. Here's how we can do that:

import { defineStyle, defineStyleConfig } from '@chakra-ui/react'

const xl = defineStyle({
  fontSize: 'xl',
})

export const badgeTheme = defineStyleConfig({
  sizes: { xl },
})

// Now we can use the new `xl` size
<Badge size='xl'>XL Badge</Badge>

Every time you're adding anything new to the theme, you'd need to run the CLI command to get proper autocomplete in your IDE. You can learn more about the CLI tool here.

Adding a custom variant#

Let's assume we want to include a custom branded variant. Here's how we can do that:

import { defineStyle, defineStyleConfig } from '@chakra-ui/react'

const brandPrimary = defineStyle({
  background: 'orange.500',
  color: 'white',
  fontFamily: 'serif',
  fontWeight: 'normal',

  // let's also provide dark mode alternatives
  _dark: {
    background: 'orange.300',
    color: 'orange.800',
  }
})

export const badgeTheme = defineStyleConfig({
  variants: { brandPrimary }
})

// Now we can use the new `brandPrimary` variant
<Badge variant='brandPrimary'>...</Badge>

Using a custom color scheme#

Let's assume we want to use our own custom color scale based on our brand. We'd need to define the color scale first in the main theme file:

import { extendTheme } from '@chakra-ui/react'

export const theme = extendTheme({
  colors: {
    brand: {
      100: '#9520e4',
      ...
      200: '#33006d',
      ...
      800: '#1a0044',
    }
  }
})

Then, we can use the custom color scale as the color scheme for the badge:

<Badge colorScheme='brand'>...</Badge>

Changing the default properties#

Let's assume we want to change the default size, variant or color scheme of every badge in our app. Here's how we can do that:

import { defineStyleConfig } from '@chakra-ui/react'

export const badgeTheme = defineStyleConfig({
  defaultProps: {
    size: 'xl',
    variant: 'outline',
    colorScheme: 'brand',
  },
})

// This saves you time, instead of manually setting the size,
// variant and color scheme every time you use a badge:
<Badge size="xl" variant="outline" colorScheme="brand">...</Badge>

Showcase#

import {
  Badge,
  Box, HStack, IconButton, useColorMode
} from "@chakra-ui/react";
import { FaMoon, FaSun } from "react-icons/fa";

export default function App() {
  const { toggleColorMode, colorMode } = useColorMode();

  return (
    <Box position="relative" h="100vh">
      <HStack spacing={8} p={12}>
          <Badge >Themed subtle badge</Badge>
          <Badge variant='solid'>Themed solid badge</Badge>
          <Badge variant='outline'>Themed outline badge</Badge>
      </HStack>
      <HStack spacing={8} p={12}>
          <Badge variant='custom'>Themed custom badge</Badge>
          <Badge size='xl'>XL Badge</Badge>
      </HStack>
      <IconButton
        aria-label="toggle theme"
        rounded="full"
        size="xs"
        position="absolute"
        bottom={4}
        left={4}
        onClick={toggleColorMode} icon={colorMode === "dark" ? <FaSun /> : <FaMoon />}
      />
    </Box>
  )
}
