Overview

This PR enhances the igc-badge component with CSS-based sizing using the theming system, a dot badge type for minimal indicators, and an improved outline implementation that follows WCAG AA accessibility standards. These changes align with the latest design handoff and provide more flexibility for badge usage across all four themes (Material, Bootstrap, Fluent, Indigo).

New Features

1. CSS-Based Sizing

Badge sizing is now controlled through the theming system using CSS custom properties instead of a component attribute. This follows the established pattern where sizing comes from the igniteui-theming dependency.

Three size variants are available:

  • Small: 16px height with 10px font and icon sizes
  • Medium (default): 22px height with 12px font and icon sizes
  • Large: 28px height with 14px font and 16px icon sizes

Usage:

<!-- Small size -->
<igc-badge style="--ig-size: 1">1</igc-badge>

<!-- Medium size (default) -->
<igc-badge style="--ig-size: 2">2</igc-badge>

<!-- Large size -->
<igc-badge style="--ig-size: 3">3</igc-badge>

2. Dot Badge Type

Introduced a new dot boolean attribute for rendering minimal badges without content - perfect for notification indicators and status dots:

<igc-badge dot variant="primary"></igc-badge>
<igc-badge dot variant="info"></igc-badge>
<igc-badge dot variant="success"></igc-badge>

The dot badge:

  • Renders as an 8px circular indicator
  • Works with all variants (primary, info, success, warning, danger)
  • Compatible with outlined style
  • Ideal for notification dots and presence indicators

3. Improved Outline Implementation

Refactored the outline rendering to use CSS outline property instead of box-shadow: inset, ensuring the outline is rendered outside the badge without affecting its internal size or content:

<igc-badge outlined variant="primary">Primary</igc-badge>
<igc-badge outlined variant="info">Info</igc-badge>
<igc-badge outlined variant="success">Success</igc-badge>

Key improvements:

  • Uses outline with outline-offset: -2px for proper positioning
  • Transparent background with colored outline and text
  • Proper color contrast for all variants ensuring WCAG AA compliance
  • Icons inherit the correct color for each variant

Technical Changes

API Updates

New Properties:

  • dot: boolean - Renders minimal dot badge without content (default: false)

Styling Enhancements

  • Sizing controlled via theming system using --ig-size CSS variable

  • CSS custom properties calculated based on --is-small, --is-medium, --is-large:

    • --_badge-font-size - Font size based on badge size
    • --_badge-icon-size - Icon size based on badge size
    • --_badge-padding - Inline padding based on badge size
  • Improved slotted icon sizing to respect badge size variants

  • Outline implementation uses CSS outline instead of box-shadow for cleaner rendering

  • All color variants properly styled for outlined badges with appropriate contrast

Theme Support

All changes are compatible with and tested across:

  • Material Design theme
  • Bootstrap theme
  • Fluent Design theme
  • Indigo Design theme

Testing

  • Added unit tests for dot badge functionality
  • Verified visual appearance in Storybook
  • All existing tests passing
  • Custom elements manifest updated with new properties
  • TypeScript type checking passed

Accessibility

  • Maintained WCAG AA contrast ratios for all variants
  • Outlined badges use appropriate color contrast
  • Existing ARIA attributes preserved
  • Component remains keyboard accessible

Breaking Changes

None. All changes are backward compatible. The default size matches the previous badge dimensions (medium/22px).
