# Badge

<p class="docs-lede">Badges display compact status, counts, or inline labels next to headings and controls.</p>

## Try it

<Demo of={Default} meta={BadgeMeta} />

## Usage

```tsx
import { RuiBadge } from '@ecopages/radiant-ui/badge';

<RuiBadge variant="outline">Beta</RuiBadge>
```

## Badge vs chip

<p>Use `RuiBadge` for status and counts (`Beta`, `3`, `Error`). Use `RuiChip` for category tags and filter entities in pill-shaped containers.</p>

## With spinner

<p>Place `RuiSpinner` inside a badge to show a syncing or processing state.</p>

## Variants

<Canvas of={Destructive} meta={BadgeMeta} />
