# Badge

## Overview

Badges can be utilized to display notification counts, distinguish between states or statuses, and indicate countries, among other purposes.

Recommended Usage:

 ✅ Use badges to indicate notification counts or to draw attention to specific details that require user attention or action.

 ✅ Utilize badges when content can have multiple states or categories, and the user requires a way to differentiate between them. 

✅ Single or multiple badges may be used simultaneously to categorize content when necessary.

Usage to Avoid 

❌ Don't use badges to represent filtering options, controls, or endpoints on the system, such as users, devices, numbers, etc. 

❌ Badges should not be utilized as interactive elements, as they cannot be clicked, focused, or edited. Their function is purely presentational.
