Shadcn Badge

What is Shadcn Badge?

A badge is a small, colored label that communicates status, category, or count without stealing focus. Shadcn Badge is a simple, reusable component that renders text and optional icon(s) with Tailwind utility classes for color and size variants.

Components here show badges for subscription status (Active, Trial, Paused), role labels (Admin, Member, Guest), feature flags (Beta, New), and count indicators (3). They help you choose colors, decide when to use an icon, and see how badges scale on mobile.

Why Use Shadcn Badge?

Status labels at a glance reduce noise and speed up scanning. Tables with 50+ rows become instantly readable when badges show subscription state, approval status, or role without extra columns.

Searchers look for 'react badge component', 'status indicator label', and 'tailwind badge'. This page answers with real tables, cards, and user lists showing how badges pair with avatars, buttons, and text to clarify state without overwhelming the layout.

Shadcn Badge Features

• Semantic Variants. Supports success (green), destructive (red), warning (yellow), and default (gray) variants using Tailwind tokens for consistent theming.
• Icon Support. Render optional icons (from Lucide) before or after text. Use sparingly to reinforce meaning without cluttering.
• Size Variants. Available in sm, md, lg via padding and font-size classes to fit tables, lists, and dense layouts.
• Dismissible Variant. Add an X button to remove the badge, useful for tags or filters that users can clear.
• Accessible. Renders as a span with semantic classes; pair with aria-label for clarity when icons are used alone.

ReUI Badge: In-House Custom Shadcn Component

ReUI Badge is an in-house component built and maintained by the ReUI team as part of the ReUI open-source library. It is designed to integrate seamlessly into any shadcn/ui project: following the same copy-and-own installation model. The component source lands directly in your repository; you own it, extend it, and style it with your Tailwind CSS tokens. ReUI Badge extends the standard shadcn Badge with semantic color variants: success, warning, info, and invert: each mapped to CSS variables in your Tailwind theme. Use it anywhere you need status-coded labels beyond the default shadcn variant set.

The component is available in two API flavors to match your primitive stack: a Radix UI version for teams using Radix-based shadcn primitives, and a Base UI version for teams on @base-ui/react. Both versions share identical visual output and Tailwind CSS styling: only the underlying headless primitive differs. ReUI maintains 10+ such in-house components, all available in both Radix and Base UI versions, each with dedicated documentation covering the full component API, usage examples, and prop references.
