Badge with Icon on Right (Secondary) for React

A muted secondary badge with the word Badge first and a star after it, for a trailing mark that stays quiet.

The word Badge comes first, then a star, on a muted fill. The star is decorative and does not compete with the label.

Save it for footnotes such as Reviewed, where the icon finishes the word. A full warning belongs in an Alert. In React, Base UI reads the label with the surrounding text.

FAQ

How does the star sit after the label in React?

The icon comes after the word, with data-icon="inline-end" and aria-hidden="true". The badge styles use that attribute to tighten the padding on the icon's side.

Why hide the star from assistive tech?

The label is the word in the badge. The star is decoration. aria-hidden="true" is already on the icon, so screen readers read the word and skip the star.

Does the star need its own color?

No. Lucide icons paint with currentColor, so the star uses the badge's text color and follows the variant, including in dark mode.

What does variant secondary change?

variant="secondary" uses the secondary background and secondary-foreground text. The star stays after the word, with the same icon attributes as in this file.

How do I change the badge size?

size on Badge takes sm, md or lg, and pill rounds the badge fully. This demo sets neither, so the label stays the normal height.

Can I use a different icon?

Yes. Replace the star and keep the attributes this demo puts on the icon.
