Notification badge

A notification badge is a visual indicator that alerts users about incoming notifications.

Examples

Basic

The following example demonstrates the three variants of notification badge that are available: "read", "unread", and "attention".

The isExpanded property is also passed in to:

  • set the aria-expanded attribute on the notification badge,
  • apply visual styling on the notification badge, and
  • to indiciate that a notification drawer is expanded, for use-cases as seen in our notification drawer react demos.

With count

You can display a number within the notification badge by passing in the count property, to indicate how many read, unread, or attention notifications there are. The isExpanded property is also passed in, similar to the notification badge basic example.
