Is it possible to add a badge with numbers like 5, 10, or 100 on top of the Font Awesome symbol (fa-envelope)? I am looking for something like this:
However, I am struggling to figure out how to place the badge on top of the symbol. You can see my attempt here: jsFiddle.
I want to make sure it is compatible with Twitter Bootstrap 2.3.2.
Here is a simple solution that requires no extra markup, just a new class and a pseudo element.
HTML
<i class="fa fa-envelope fa-5x fa-border icon-grey badge"></i>
CSS
*.icon-blue {color: #0088cc}
*.icon-grey {color: grey}
i {
width:100px;
text-align:center;
vertical-align:middle;
position: relative;
}
.badge:after{
content:"100";
position: absolute;
background: rgba(0,0,255,1);
height:2rem;
top:1rem;
right:1.5rem;
width:2rem;
text-align: center;
line-height: 2rem;;
font-size: 1rem;
border-radius: 50%;
color:white;
border:1px solid blue;
}
Although @Paulie_D's response is solid, it may not be as effective when dealing with a container of variable width.
If you're looking for a better solution in that scenario, check out this: http://codepen.io/johnstuif/pen/pvLgYp
Here's the HTML:
<span class="fa-stack fa-5x has-badge" data-count="8,888,888">
<i class="fa fa-circle fa-stack-2x"></i>
<i class="fa fa-bell fa-stack-1x fa-inverse"></i>
</span>
And here's the CSS:
.fa-stack[data-count]:after{
position:absolute;
right:0%;
top:1%;
content: attr(data-count);
font-size:30%;
padding:.6em;
border-radius:999px;
line-height:.75em;
color: white;
background:rgba(255,0,0,.85);
text-align:center;
min-width:2em;
font-weight:bold;
}
Encase the fa-envelope icon and the number inside a div, with the wrapper div having a position:relative and the number being positioned absolutely within a span.
Feel free to explore this demo
The HTML structure is as follows:
<div class="icon-wrapper">
<i class="fa fa-envelope fa-5x fa-border icon-grey"></i>
<span class="badge">100</span>
</div>
The accompanying CSS rules are outlined below:
.icon-wrapper{
position:relative;
float:left;
}
*.icon-blue {color: #0088cc}
*.icon-grey {color: grey}
i {
width:100px;
text-align:center;
vertical-align:middle;
}
.badge{
background: rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
width: auto;
height: auto;
margin: 0;
border-radius: 50%;
position:absolute;
top:-13px;
right:-8px;
padding:5px;
}
I hope you find this solution beneficial.
This solution appears to be effective, with minimal additional code required.
.badge{
position: relative;
margin-left: 60%;
margin-top: -60%;

<span class="fa-stack fa-3x">
<i class="fa fa-circle fa-stack-2x"></i>
<i class="fa fa-bell fa-stack-1x fa-inverse"></i>
<span class="badge">17</span>
</span>
<span class="fa-stack fa-2x">
<i class="fa fa-circle fa-stack-2x"></i>
<i class="fa fa-bell fa-stack-1x fa-inverse"></i>
<span class="badge">17</span>
</span>
<span class="fa-stack fa-1x">
<i class="fa fa-circle fa-stack-2x"></i>
<i class="fa fa-bell fa-stack-1x fa-inverse"></i>
<span class="badge">17</span>
</span>By embedding the badge within the icon element, I was able to easily position it in relation to the boundaries of the icon container. The sizing of the badge was done using 'em' units, ensuring that its size is proportional to the icon's size. This allows for simple adjustments by modifying the font-size property within the '.badge' CSS class.
If you're utilizing the SVG + JS version of Font Awesome:

Layers provide a modern approach to positioning icons and text visually atop each other.
<span class="fa-layers fa-fw">
<i class="fas fa-envelope"></i>
<span class="fa-layers-counter" style="background:Tomato">1,419</span>
</span>
According to the Font Awesome guidelines:
<span class="fa-layers fa-fw" style="background:MistyRose">
<i class="fas fa-envelope"></i>
<span class="fa-layers-counter" style="background:Tomato">1,419</span>
</span>
