About badges

ng-hub-ui-badges gives Angular teams a small but complete badge system: semantic colours, multiple visual surfaces, size and shape scales, status dots, optional icons and dismissible tags. Everything is driven by the shared `--hub-sys-color-*` token families and exposed `--hub-badge-*` custom properties, so the component family slots naturally into a design-system-first codebase.

Key features

Recent changes

Version 22.9.1 - 9/28/26, 12:00 AM

changed: The family list in both READMEs names `ng-hub-ui-spreadsheet`. The sheet joined the family and the other lists had not caught up. Documentation only: no code, types or styles change.

Version 22.9.0 - 9/24/26, 12:00 AM

fixed: BREAKING (visual): a chip label is readable on every accent the library ships with. The -emphasis role that paints a chip, and every soft, outline, ghost or subtle badge, was color-mix(accent 80%, ink) — and a percentage cannot darken a pale hue, so on the chip’s own tinted surface warning measured 2.22:1, info 2.68:1 and light 1.63:1, where WCAG AA asks 4.5:1. It is now the accent steered into the theme’s emphasis window, which leaves a dark accent alone and pulls a light one down to where it can carry a letter, keeping hue and chroma: the same nine measure between 5.90:1 and 11.86:1. Every accent darkens, not only the three that failed. See BREAKING_CHANGES.md.

added: --hub-badge-active-color paints the label of a pressed interactive badge. It used to read the contrast flip of the accent, which on a pale accent is near-black while the fill under it — the emphasis tone — is now dark; it flips against the fill instead.

Version 22.8.0 - 9/23/26, 12:00 AM

changed: BREAKING: the Angular floor rises from 17.2.0 to 17.3.0. The old range was measured from the source alone, and its published `.d.ts` names `InputSignalWithTransform` or `OutputEmitterRef`, which Angular did not ship until 17.3. An application below the new floor could install this package and then fail to build; it now gets the peer warning it should always have had. Nothing that worked stops working. See BREAKING_CHANGES.md.

Version 22.7.4 - 9/23/26, 12:00 AM

changed: The Angular peer range now says what the code needs. It asked for >=21.0.0, which nothing in this package justified: the newest Angular API the source uses is model() and the signal queries, which shipped in 17.2, and the compiled output carries no linker marker above it. The range is >=17.2.0, and npm run peers:floors derives and checks that floor from now on.

Version 22.7.3 - 9/20/26, 12:00 AM

changed: The npm keywords name the pieces the package ships — badges, chip, chip-set, filter-chips, status-dot, counter, label — alongside standalone, angular-library and typescript. Metadata only: no code, types or styles change.

Version 22.7.2 - 9/16/26, 12:00 AM

changed: Repository, issue and README links follow the move to the hub-env organization. Issues for every Hub UI package are now gathered in hub-env/hub-ui, and the repository and bugs fields of the manifest point at the new addresses. No code, types or styles change.

Version 22.7.1 - 9/8/26, 12:00 AM

changed: <hub-chip-set> keeps its stylesheet to itself. It carried ViewEncapsulation.None for no reason of its own: it draws a flex row on its host and declares one token, --hub-chip-set-gap, and neither needs to leave the component. <hub-badge> and <hub-chip> keep the exception, because theirs is the second reason CODING_RULES.md allows: hub-badge-color-rules() is a public mixin a consumer includes from their own sheet and it emits the same plain .hub-badge* selectors the built-in colours do, so scoping one side would stop the two being interchangeable. Nothing about the set changes in specificity either, and the chips are projected content the sheet never reached; the only thing that stops working is markup of your own carrying the hub-chip-set class.

added: ng-hub-ui-ds is declared as an optional peer dependency (>=22.0.0). Every colour and spacing default in this library resolves through the --hub-sys-* / --hub-ref-* ladder and the manifest said nothing about it, so a consumer reading the package on npm could not tell that installing the token package is what hands badges and chips the family palette and its dark mode. It stays optional: each token carries a literal fallback.

Version 22.7.0 - 9/7/26, 12:00 AM

fixed: The dismiss button is no longer a control inside another control. <hub-chip> always carried role="button" on its host, and <hub-badge> took it whenever interactive was set, so the remove button rendered inside them sat within a subtree ARIA declares presentational: a screen reader announced one button, and the dismiss action inside it was neither described nor reliably reached by navigation between interactive elements. The toggle now lives in its own element, sibling to the dismiss button, and the host is a plain shell.

changed: <hub-chip> renders its toggle as a real <button class="hub-chip__action">, so Enter, Space, the disabled state and the accessible name come from the platform instead of hand-rolled keydown handling and aria-* attributes. The host keeps every class it had and the whole chip stays clickable: the action's stretched pseudo-element reclaims the shell padding as hit area and carries the focus ring.

changed: <hub-badge> puts role="button", tabindex and aria-pressed on its content element (.hub-badge__content) instead of on the host, and only while interactive. A non-interactive badge is unchanged: no role, no tab stop, nothing new in the markup. Both markup changes are breaking for anyone styling or querying the internals — BREAKING_CHANGES.md carries the migration.

changed: A click on the chip's remove button now reaches the host element. The dismiss handler used to call stopPropagation() to keep the host's own toggle from firing; that toggle is gone, and swallowing the event only hid the click from the consumer's own listeners.

Version 22.6.3 - 9/6/26, 12:00 AM

fixed: A disabled interactive <hub-badge> now exposes aria-disabled="true". With interactive the host takes role="button", and disabled pulled it out of the tab order while silently swallowing every activation, so a screen-reader user landing on it by any other route (a virtual cursor, the rotor, a scripted focus) met a button that announced no state and did nothing when pressed. The host now reflects that state the way <hub-chip> already did. A non-interactive badge carries nothing new: it has no role to be disabled, and its dismiss button keeps announcing itself through the native disabled attribute.

fixed: The SCSS entry point the README teaches is now declared in the manifest. styles/ shipped in the published package, but the exports map ng-packagr writes listed only . and ./package.json, so @use 'ng-hub-ui-badges/styles' rested on a resolver willing to ignore the map and walk into node_modules by hand. The manifest now declares the ./styles entry, making the documented import part of the package contract instead of an accident of the consumer's tooling.

fixed: The documentation now describes the library that shipped. Both READMEs still promised six built-in colours where the type and the stylesheet register nine, named only HubBadgeComponent in the feature list although hub-chip and hub-chip-set have been public since 22.5.0, and said nothing about hub-badge-theme or about [color] taking a literal colour. The Spanish README was additionally missing the tooltip-synergy section and the chip snippets its English twin carries. A reader had no way to tell the gap from a deliberate omission.

fixed: BREAKING_CHANGES.md records the two breaking releases it had skipped. The file claimed the only entry worth making was the 22.0.0 initial release, while 22.5.0 removed HubBadgeGroupComponent and 22.3.0 changed the hub-badge-variant-rules signature and dropped the --hub-badge-accent-contrast token. Since the major of this package tracks the Angular major, the version number can never warn about a breaking change, so that file is the only notice a consumer gets.

added: FUNCTIONALITIES.md, the feature-versus-example coverage table the other libraries publish. It is the honest answer to whether a feature can be seen running anywhere, and it marks what has no example (the interactive badge, the overlay dot, disabled) rather than implying even coverage.

Version 22.6.2 - 9/1/26, 12:00 AM

changed: The homepage in the manifest points at this library's own documentation page rather than at the site root. It is the link a registry shows beside the package and the one a reader clicks from it, and landing on a front page they then have to search is a worse answer than landing on the reference for the package they were already looking at. Metadata only — no code, no types, no styles change, and nothing a consumer imports is affected.

Version 22.6.1 - 8/8/26, 12:00 AM

fixed: Documentation links now point at the canonical localized URLs. The README linked to https://hubui.dev/<path> with no locale prefix and no trailing slash, and both forms are 301-redirected, so every reader arriving from npm or GitHub landed on a redirect instead of the canonical page.

Version 22.6.0 - 7/7/26, 12:00 AM

added: hub-badge-theme(...) mixin — one-call token theming for <hub-badge> / <hub-chip>: accent (drives the shared role family) plus the shell tokens (bg, color, border-color, border-radius, border-width, padding-x/-y, gap, font-size, font-weight). Null-defaulted and additive; the existing variant-registration API (hub-badge-variant-rules / hub-badge-color-rules) stays for registering new named accents. @use 'ng-hub-ui-badges/styles' as *;.

changed: <hub-badge> / <hub-chip> [color] accepts ANY colour. On top of the built-in semantic accents, the input now also accepts a registered custom accent and a literal colour (#ff0000, rgb(...), oklch(...), a CSS named colour), resolved through the shared resolveHubAccent helper (imported from ng-hub-ui-utils): a bareword becomes var(--hub-sys-color-<name>, <name>); a literal is used as-is. The single --hub-<comp>-accent slot derives the rest of the family, so built-in colours are unchanged.

changed: Internal — host bindings moved to the host metadata object. @HostBinding / @HostListener decorators were replaced by the host object in the component/directive metadata (Angular style guide). No public API or behaviour change.

changed: Added ng-hub-ui-utils (>=22.7.0) as a peer dependency (already used at runtime; now declared).

Version 22.5.0 - 7/6/26, 12:00 AM

removed: BREAKING — HubBadgeGroupComponent (<hub-badge-group>) removed. It was a purely presentational flex wrapper whose four inputs (direction / align / gap / wrap) mapped 1:1 to CSS, redundant with the standard flex utilities the library already ships. Arrange badges with <div class="d-flex flex-wrap gap-2"> (add flex-column / align-items-* as needed). The HubBadgeGroupDirection / HubBadgeGroupAlign types and the internal --hub-badge-group-gap / --hub-badge-group-align tokens are gone too.

added: hub-chip + hub-chip-set — interactive filter-chip primitives. hub-chip is a togglable, optionally removable tag that reuses the badge accent contract for its colours (it points the shared --hub-badge-accent slot from its color input and derives every surface from that family via the new hub-badge-accent-family mixin). It exposes selected (two-way model), value, color, disabled, removable, removeLabel inputs and selectedChange / removed / chipClick outputs, projects a leading icon/avatar through [hubChipLeading], and behaves as a role="button" toggle with aria-pressed and Space/Enter support. hub-chip-set groups chips with selectionMode ('single' | 'multiple') and a two-way value model, deselecting siblings in single mode. New tokens: --hub-chip-bg, --hub-chip-color, --hub-chip-border-color, --hub-chip-selected-bg, --hub-chip-selected-color, --hub-chip-hover-bg, --hub-chip-gap, --hub-chip-focus-ring (plus the shell tokens --hub-chip-font-family/-size/-weight, --hub-chip-padding-x/-y, --hub-chip-border-width/-radius, --hub-chip-focus-ring-width, --hub-chip-transition and --hub-chip-set-gap).

added: Interactive badges. New interactive input turns a badge into a role="button" toggle with a keyboard tab stop that emits the new selected output on click / Enter / Space, and an active input toggles the pressed state (.hub-badge--active, aria-pressed) reading the new --hub-badge-active-bg slot. All default-off and additive.

added: Overlay status dot. New dotOverlay input renders the status dot absolutely positioned at a badge corner (distinct from the existing inline leading dot), with a dotPlacement input ('top-end' | 'top-start' | 'bottom-end' | 'bottom-start') and the new --hub-badge-overlay-offset token controlling the corner inset.

added: neutral, light and dark documented as built-in colours. HubBadgeBuiltinColor now lists all nine canonical accents the stylesheet already registers, so the type matches the runtime.

added: Designed bg/fg pair registration. hub-badge-variant-rules($type, $accent, $bg, $fg, $border, $subtle) gained optional $bg / $fg / $border / $subtle overrides: pass any of them to pin the corresponding final slot for a variant; omit them to keep today's runtime derivation. Fully backward compatible.

added: hub-badge-accent-family mixin. Exposes the runtime-derived accent role family (-emphasis / -subtle / -border / -on) as a single shared mixin, now included by both hub-badge and hub-chip so the colour derivation lives in one place.

Version 22.4.1 - 7/2/26, 12:00 AM

fixed: CSS variable fallbacks realigned to the ds light defaults (--hub-ref-font-family-base: inherit → system-ui, -apple-system, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif); fallbacks only apply when ng-hub-ui-ds is not loaded.

fixed: Docs: docs/css-variables-reference.md default values resynchronized with the actual code declarations (now guarded by the repo-level tokens-parity check F).

Version 22.4.0 - 6/29/26, 12:00 AM

added: Text truncation with ellipsis, bounded by the new `--hub-badge-max-width` CSS variable.

added: `tooltip` input plus auto tooltip on truncated content (native `title` by default).

added: Optional hub-ui tooltip integration via `provideHubBadgeTooltip(hubTooltipAdapter)` (from ng-hub-ui-utils).

Version 22.3.0 - 6/26/26, 12:00 AM

added: New on-accent contrast pair --hub-badge-accent-on: a grayscale contrast flip of the accent that picks white or near-black text automatically from the accent's own lightness. Replaces the hard-coded per-colour --hub-badge-accent-contrast (and the $hub-badge-light-accents / hub-badge-on-accent() helper that listed warning/info by hand).

added: Open-set theming at runtime: any new accent (e.g. brand) works with a single CSS rule that points the slot at a colour — .hub-badge[data-variant='brand'] { --hub-badge-accent: var(--hub-sys-color-brand); } — and emphasis / subtle / border / on derive themselves. The open path no longer depends on the @each or on recompiling the library.

changed: The local accent slot --hub-badge-accent now derives its whole role family at runtime from the slot itself (recomputed live whenever the accent changes), instead of reading per-type --hub-sys-color-{type}-* tokens.

changed: Known-variant loop expanded from 6 to the 9 canonical accents — primary, secondary, success, danger, warning, info, neutral, light, dark — where each [data-variant] only points --hub-badge-accent at its --hub-sys-color-{variant}.

changed: hub-badge-variant-rules($type, $accent) simplified: it now only sets the local accent slot for a variant (no role/contrast parameters); the role family is derived in the component.

changed: Migrated every color-mix(in srgb, …) to in oklch (soft/subtle borders and the remove-button hover overlay).

removed: Hard-coded --hub-badge-accent-contrast token and the $hub-badge-light-accents list / hub-badge-on-accent() helper; on-accent text is now derived from the accent via --hub-badge-accent-on.

removed: Duplicated per-[data-variant] role derivations (previously re-declared in srgb); the single slot-derived family now covers every variant.

Version 22.2.1 - 6/25/26, 12:00 AM

fixed: Design-token consistency pass: aligned inline fallback defaults with the canonical ng-hub-ui-ds values and routed hardcoded literals (z-index, font-weight, line-height, radii and theme-aware colours) through their --hub-sys-* / --hub-ref-* tokens, so they follow the active theme. No visual change when the ds tokens are loaded.

Version 22.2.0 - 6/25/26, 12:00 AM

changed: Consolidated every badge dimension token onto the shared --hub-ref-* reference scale (a compact mapping that keeps the badge chip-sized), so sizing resolves through the design-system tokens instead of hand-tuned rem literals — matching the Figma ff/badge variable layer. Base: --hub-badge-padding-x 0.625rem → var(--hub-ref-space-2), --hub-badge-padding-y 0.375rem → var(--hub-ref-space-1), --hub-badge-gap 0.375rem → var(--hub-ref-space-1), --hub-badge-dot-size 0.5rem → var(--hub-ref-space-2). The size ramp xs / sm / md / lg now references --hub-ref-space-* and --hub-ref-font-size-*.

changed: Visual note: md padding tightens (10→8px / 6→4px) so the chip stays compact; the other steps land on the nearest reference token. Behaviour is unchanged.

Version 22.1.0 - 6/24/26, 12:00 AM

changed: Lower peerDependencies for @angular/core and @angular/common to >=21.0.0. The library now supports Angular 21 and later.

Version 22.0.1 - 6/24/26, 12:00 AM

changed: Generate the built-in semantic colour rules (primary, secondary, success, danger, warning, info) with a single @each loop over the public hub-badge-variant-rules mixin, instead of hand-written per-colour blocks. A hub-badge-on-accent() helper standardises the on-accent text to black or white per colour (light accents like warning/info get black). Built-ins now share the exact selector shape and token contract used by consumer-registered colours.

Version 22.0.0 - 6/24/26, 12:00 AM

added: `HubBadgeComponent` with semantic variants, status dots and dismissible mode.

added: `HubBadgeGroupComponent` for wrapped and stacked badge layouts.

added: Public SCSS mixins at `ng-hub-ui-badges/styles` for registering custom semantic colour families.

Frequently asked questions

How do I show a badge or a status pill in Angular?

<hub-badge color="success" variant="soft">Online</hub-badge>. variant takes solid, soft, outline, ghost, subtle or surface, size runs xs, sm, md, lg, and shape is pill, rounded or square. Setting [dot]="true" drops the text and leaves the marker, and [dotOverlay]="true" with dotPlacement pins that marker to a corner of whatever the badge wraps, which is how the notification dot on an avatar is made.

What is the difference between a badge and a chip?

A badge labels something; a chip is a token the user can pick. hub-chip carries a two-way selected and lives inside hub-chip-set, which is a role=group holding the current value, with selectionMode set to single or multiple. The trade is in the styling axes: hub-badge takes variant, size and shape, while hub-chip takes only color. Both can be removable and both emit removed when the dismiss button is used.

Can a badge be clicked or dismissed?

interactive turns the content into a real button with aria-pressed and Enter and Space handling, emitting selected, and active marks it as chosen. removable adds a separate dismiss button beside it, named by removeLabel and emitting removed, so the two targets never collide. Watch the binding form: dot, removable and disabled take no bare-attribute shorthand, so they need [removable]="true" rather than just removable.

Why do the badge styles leak into the rest of the page?

Because they are meant to. hub-badge and hub-chip render without style encapsulation, so their rules join the global cascade as soon as either component is loaded — which is what lets you restyle them from your own sheet without piercing anything, at the cost of .hub-badge and .hub-chip being shared names. Two other limits worth knowing: hub-chip-set is not a form control, so formControlName does not reach it and it compares values by identity, which objects have to satisfy by reference; and a truncated badge shows the native title attribute unless you register a tooltip adapter.
