</button>

Position

Use utilities to modify a .badge and position it in the corner of a link or button.

html
<button type="button" class="btn btn-success position-relative">
  Inbox
  <span class="position-absolute top-0 start-100 translate-middle badge rounded-pill bg-danger">
    99+
    <span class="visually-hidden">unread messages</span>
  </span>
</button>
        

You can also replace the .badge class with a few more utilities without a count for a more generic indicator.

html
<button type="button" class="btn btn-warning position-relative">
  Profile
  <span class="position-absolute top-0 start-100 translate-middle p-2 bg-danger border border-light rounded-circle">
    <span class="visually-hidden">New alerts</span>
  </span>
</button>
