Patches
If you need a text label, use a patch instead. Patches provide a way to highlight two types of content: informational and promotional messages.
Sizes and colors
Add role="status"
or role="alert"
depend of your needs on the notification dot:
- status: A container whose content is advisory information for the user but is not important enough to justify an alert, often but not necessarily presented as a status bar.
- alert: A message with important, and usually time-sensitive, information.
Don't forget the screenreader message ( show-for-sr
) inside the notification dot and on the title
