# Badge: Interactive

> Use `render` to make a badge a link or a button. It gains a hover tint, a press scale and a focus ring. `aria-invalid` shows the error state.

Example: https://hextaui.com/docs/badge/examples/interactive
Component docs: https://hextaui.com/docs/badge.md

## Add this example

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add https://hextaui.com/r/badge-interactive.json
```

This adds `components/examples/badge/interactive.tsx` with the Badge component and the HextaUI theme tokens.

## Source

```tsx title="components/examples/badge/interactive.tsx"
import { IconArrowUpRight, IconX } from "@tabler/icons-react"

import { Badge, BadgeDot } from "@/components/ui/badge"

export function BadgeInteractive() {
  return (
    <div className="flex flex-wrap items-center justify-center gap-2">
      <Badge render={<a href="#changelog" />}>
        v2.0 is out
        <IconArrowUpRight data-icon="inline-end" />
      </Badge>
      <Badge render={<button type="button" />} variant="info">
        <BadgeDot />
        Filter: open
      </Badge>
      <Badge render={<a href="#new" />}>New</Badge>
      <Badge render={<button type="button" />} aria-invalid>
        <IconX data-icon="inline-start" />
        Invalid
      </Badge>
    </div>
  )
}
```
