Badge

Attach counts or small status marks to another element.

This guide covers Material UI Core with the default Emotion engine; extensions and additional demos are explicitly classified.

Use case and business boundary

The host supplies the count; a visual badge needs an accessible description when it changes meaning.

Native composition and scope

Badge

Preserve native Material UI composition and types; do not substitute JGuang UI/Base UI/Radix APIs. Example entries are not extra components.

Native installation and initialization

npm install @mui/material@9.4.0 @emotion/react@11.14.0 @emotion/styled@11.14.1

Use native npm and Emotion, not an invented JGuang UI Registry URL. Place examples inside native ThemeProvider; choose CssBaseline or ScopedCssBaseline for the project. Inspect React, existing providers, lockfile and SSR first. Never overwrite files or conceal peer conflicts. This batch verified React 19.2.8; React 18 and below require matching react-is. See the included bilingual setup guide.

Practical native parameters

These selected parameters are not a flattened universal API. Preserve the native declaring owner, slot structure, nullable values and generics.

Runnable native examples

Machine keys select example entries, not universal variant props. Native demo JSX/data stay unchanged; JGuang-authored acceptance fixtures are explicitly labelled.

Actual usage example

Unmodified pinned native demo; copy its required local helper files together.

import IconButton from '@mui/material/IconButton';
import Badge from '@mui/material/Badge';
import MailIcon from '@mui/icons-material/Mail';

const maxVisibleNotifications = 99;
const unreadNotificationsCount = 100;

function getUnreadNotificationsLabel(count: number) {
  if (count === 0) {
    return 'show no unread notifications';
  }
  if (count > maxVisibleNotifications) {
    return `show more than ${maxVisibleNotifications} unread notifications`;
  }
  return `show ${count} unread notification${count === 1 ? '' : 's'}`;
}

export default function BadgeIntro() {
  const label = getUnreadNotificationsLabel(unreadNotificationsCount);

  return (
    <IconButton aria-label={label}>
      <Badge
        badgeContent={unreadNotificationsCount}
        color="secondary"
        max={maxVisibleNotifications}
      >
        <MailIcon />
      </Badge>
    </IconButton>
  );
}

Example dependency boundaries

@mui/material/IconButton, @mui/material/Badge, @mui/icons-material/Mail, @mui/material/List, @mui/material/ListItemButton, @mui/material/ListItemIcon, @mui/material/ListItemText, @mui/material/Paper, @mui/icons-material/Drafts, @mui/icons-material/Inbox, @mui/icons-material/Send, @mui/icons-material/Notifications, react, @mui/material/Stack, @mui/material/Switch, @mui/material/FormControlLabel, @mui/icons-material/CalendarMonth, @mui/icons-material/FolderOpen, @mui/icons-material/ReportProblemOutlined, @mui/material/Box, @mui/material/Avatar, @mui/material/ListItemAvatar, @mui/material/styles

Direct Icons/System/Utils example imports require their matching 9.4.0 packages. Relative data/helpers are part of the example closure, not extra components. Remote images and simulated operations do not supply a backend.

Pinned upstream API metadata reference

These tables retain the upstream metadata, not a newly inferred generic type system. Conditional generics, inherited props and callback details are defined by the source declarations below. Theme defaults may override metadata defaults.

Badge

import Badge from '@mui/material/Badge';
import { Badge } from '@mui/material';

Native source declarations

Declarations/imports are extracted from pinned source without flattening unions or external inheritance. Original English comments/types are source reference, not a claim of translated upstream prose. Shared types stay in their native packages.

Post-install acceptance

Run strict types, production build and real interactions. Check keyboard labels/focus, disabled/error/read-only semantics where natively supported, both themes, narrow screens and reduced motion. Verify callbacks against the real host data; do not declare installation complete from copying a prompt. Initialization fixtures also require server HTML and warning-free hydration.
