Migration

About Note that depending on how they are used, badges may be confusing for users of screen readers and
similar assistive technologies. While the styling of badges provides a visual cue as to their purpose,
these users will simply be presented with the content of the badge. Depending on the specific
situation, these badges may seem like random additional words or numbers at the end of a sentence,
link, or button.

Unless the context is clear (as with the “Notifications” example, where it is understood that the “4” is
the number of notifications), consider including additional context with a visually hidden piece of
additional text.

Conveying meaning to assistive technologies

Using color to add meaning only provides a visual indication, which will not be conveyed to
users of assistive technologies – such as screen readers. Ensure that information denoted by the
color is either obvious from the content itself (e.g. the visible text), or is included through
alternative means, such as additional text hidden with the .sr-only class.

Pill badges
Use the .badge-pill modifier class to make badges more rounded (with a larger border-radius and
additional horizontal padding). Useful if you miss the badges from v3.

Links
Using the contextual .badge-* classes on an <a> element quickly provide actionable badges with hover
and focus states.
