The circle badge style can be applied by adding the modifier class .e-badge-circle to the target element.

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
    selector: 'my-app',
    template: `
    <div id='element'>
            <div style="position:relative;display:inline-block;margin:20px 20px 10px 20px;">
                <div class="skype svg_icons"></div>
                <span class="e-badge e-badge-success e-badge-overlap e-badge-notification e-badge-circle">18</span>
            </div>

            <div style="position:relative;display:inline-block;margin:20px 20px 10px 20px;">
                <div class="twitter svg_icons"></div>
                <span class="e-badge e-badge-info e-badge-overlap e-badge-notification e-badge-circle">9</span>
            </div>

            <div style="position:relative;display:inline-block;margin:20px 20px 10px 20px;">
                <div class="facebook svg_icons"></div>
                <span class="e-badge e-badge-info e-badge-overlap e-badge-notification e-badge-circle">2</span>
            </div>

            <div style="position:relative;display:inline-block;margin:20px 20px 10px 20px;">
                <div class="firefox svg_icons"></div>
                <span class="e-badge e-badge-danger e-badge-overlap e-badge-notification e-badge-circle">35</span>
            </div>
        </div>
    `
})

export class AppComponent { }
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

/**
 * Module
 */
@NgModule({
    imports: [
        BrowserModule,
    ],
    declarations: [AppComponent],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }
import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
import { enableProdMode } from '@angular/core';
import { AppModule } from './app.module';

import 'zone.js';
enableProdMode();
platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule);

Pill

The pill badge style can be applied by adding the modifier class .e-badge-pill to the target element.

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
    selector: 'my-app',
    template: `
    <div id='element'>
            <h1>Badge Component <span class="e-badge e-badge-primary e-badge-pill">New</span></h1>
    </div>
    `
})

export class AppComponent { }
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

/**
 * Module
 */
@NgModule({
    imports: [
        BrowserModule,
    ],
    declarations: [AppComponent],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }
import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
import { enableProdMode } from '@angular/core';
import { AppModule } from './app.module';

import 'zone.js';
enableProdMode();
platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule);

When badge modifier classes are applied to the anchor tag, the badge’s appearance will change from normal state to hover state on mouseover.

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
    selector: 'my-app',
    template: `
    <div id='element'>
            <div style="display: inline-block; margin-top: 15px;">
                <a href="#" class="e-badge e-badge-primary">Link Badge</a>
            </div>
    </div>
    `
})

export class AppComponent { }
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

/**
 * Module
 */
@NgModule({
    imports: [
        BrowserModule,
    ],
    declarations: [AppComponent],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }
import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
import { enableProdMode } from '@angular/core';
import { AppModule } from './app.module';

import 'zone.js';
enableProdMode();
platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule);

Notification

The notification badge style can be applied by adding the modifier class .e-badge-notification to the
target element. Notification badges are used when a content or a context needs special attention.
While using the notification badge, set the parent element to position: relative.

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
    selector: 'my-app',
    template: `
    <div id='element'>
            <div style="position:relative;display:inline-block;margin:20px 20px 10px 20px;">
                <div class="skype svg_icons"></div>
                <span class="e-badge e-badge-success e-badge-overlap e-badge-notification">99+</span>
            </div>

            <div style="position:relative;display:inline-block;margin:20px 20px 10px 20px;">
                <div class="twitter svg_icons"></div>
                <span class="e-badge e-badge-info e-badge-overlap e-badge-notification">27</span>
            </div>

            <div style="position:relative;display:inline-block;margin:20px 20px 10px 20px;">
                <div class="facebook svg_icons"></div>
                <span class="e-badge e-badge-info e-badge-overlap e-badge-notification">2</span>
            </div>

            <div style="position:relative;display:inline-block;margin:20px 20px 10px 20px;">
                <div class="firefox svg_icons"></div>
                <span class="e-badge e-badge-danger e-badge-overlap e-badge-notification">35</span>
            </div>
    </div>
    `
})

export class AppComponent { }
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

/**
 * Module
 */
@NgModule({
    imports: [
        BrowserModule,
    ],
    declarations: [AppComponent],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }
import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
import { enableProdMode } from '@angular/core';
import { AppModule } from './app.module';

import 'zone.js';
enableProdMode();
platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule);

Dot

Dot can be applied by adding the modifier class .e-badge-dot to the target element. Dot badges are
similar to notification badges, but in a minimalistic way. While using the dot badge, set the parent
element to position: relative .

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
    selector: 'my-app',
    template: `
    <div id='element'>
            <div style="position:relative;display:inline-block;margin:20px 20px 10px 20px;">
                <div class="skype svg_icons"></div>
                <span class="e-badge e-badge-success e-badge-overlap e-badge-dot"></span>
            </div>

            <div style="position:relative;display:inline-block;margin:20px 20px 10px 20px;">
                <div class="twitter svg_icons"></div>
                <span class="e-badge e-badge-info e-badge-overlap e-badge-dot"></span>
            </div>

            <div style="position:relative;display:inline-block;margin:20px 20px 10px 20px;">
                <div class="facebook svg_icons"></div>
                <span class="e-badge e-badge-info e-badge-overlap e-badge-dot"></span>
            </div>

            <div style="position:relative;display:inline-block;margin:20px 20px 10px 20px;">
                <div class="firefox svg_icons"></div>
                <span class="e-badge e-badge-danger e-badge-overlap e-badge-dot"></span>
            </div>
        </div>
    `
})

export class AppComponent { }
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

/**
 * Module
 */
@NgModule({
    imports: [
        BrowserModule,
    ],
    declarations: [AppComponent],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }
import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
import { enableProdMode } from '@angular/core';
import { AppModule } from './app.module';

import 'zone.js';
enableProdMode();
platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule);

Overlap

The overlap badge can be used with notification or dot badge, which overlaps with the target
-element by adding the modifier class .e-badge-overlap. While using the overlap badge, set the
parent element to position: relative.

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
    selector: 'my-app',
    template: `
    <div id='element'>
    <div style="position:relative;display:inline-block;margin:20px 20px 10px 20px;">
        <div class="skype svg_icons"></div>
        <span class="e-badge e-badge-success e-badge-overlap e-badge-notification">99+</span>
    </div>

    <div style="position:relative;display:inline-block;margin:20px 20px 10px 20px;">
        <div class="twitter svg_icons"></div>
        <span class="e-badge e-badge-info e-badge-overlap e-badge-notification">27</span>
    </div>

    <div style="position:relative;display:inline-block;margin:20px 20px 10px 20px;">
        <div class="facebook svg_icons"></div>
        <span class="e-badge e-badge-info e-badge-overlap e-badge-notification">2</span>
    </div>

    <div style="position:relative;display:inline-block;margin:20px 20px 10px 20px;">
        <div class="firefox svg_icons"></div>
        <span class="e-badge e-badge-danger e-badge-overlap e-badge-notification">35</span>
    </div>
</div>
    `
})

export class AppComponent { }
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

/**
 * Module
 */
@NgModule({
    imports: [
        BrowserModule,
    ],
    declarations: [AppComponent],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }
import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
import { enableProdMode } from '@angular/core';
import { AppModule } from './app.module';

import 'zone.js';
enableProdMode();
platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule);

Position

The default position of the notification or dot badge is top. But, the position can be changed
to bottom using the modifier class .e-badge-bottom. For example, the bottom class modifier is used
with dot badge to display the status in the avatar as shown in the following sample.

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
    selector: 'my-app',
    template: `
    <div id='element'>
            <div class="badge-block">
                <div class="contact svg_icons"></div>
                <!-- Success Colored Bottom Dot Badge -->
                <span class="e-badge e-badge-success e-badge-overlap e-badge-dot e-badge-bottom"></span>
            </div>

            <div class="badge-block">
                <div class="skype svg_icons"></div>
                <!-- Info Colored Bottom Dot Badge -->
                <span class="e-badge e-badge-info e-badge-overlap e-badge-dot e-badge-bottom"></span>
            </div>

            <div class="badge-block">
                <div class="facebook svg_icons"></div>
                <!-- Info Colored Dot Badge -->
                <span class="e-badge e-badge-info e-badge-overlap e-badge-dot"></span>
            </div>

            <div class="badge-block">
                <div class="pinterest svg_icons"></div>
                <!-- Danger Colored Dot Badge -->

            </div>
    </div>
    `
