Badge

EuiBadges are used to focus on important bits of information. Although they will automatically space themselves if you use them in a repetitive fashion it is good form to wrap them using a EuiBadgeGroup so that they will wrap when width is constrained (as seen below).

Badge with Icon

Badges can use icons on the left and right (default) sides.

Badge with onClick events

Badges can have

onClick events applied to the badge itself or the icon within the badge. The latter option is useful for when you might use badges in other components (like a tag system with autocomplete where you need close events).

onClick with iconOnClick

When providing both these click handlers, EuiBadge must alter the contents so that it does not contain nested button tags. Please make note that if you provide props other than those explicit to EuiBadge, they will always be applied to the main button tag which may be inside of the outer most tag.

Badge for health status

Badges can work as health status indicators in places where there are a lot of repeated statuses, e.g. in tables.

Badge with href

Badges can also be made to render anchor tags by passing an href.

Badge groups and truncation

Badges, like buttons, will only every be a single line of text. This means text will not wrap, but be truncated if the badge's width reaches that of its parent's.

For this reason, badges also auto-apply the inner text of the badge to the title attribute of the element to provide default browser tooltips with the full badge text.

To ensure proper wrapping, truncation and spacing of multiple badges, it is advisable to wrap them in a EuiBadgeGroup.
