Tailwind CSS Indicators - Flowbite

Use the indicator component to show a number count, account status, or as a loading label positioned relative to the parent component coded with Tailwind CSS

The indicator component can be used as a small element positioned absolutely relative to another component such as a button or card and show a number count, account status (red for offline, green for online) and other useful information.

Check out the following examples for multiple sizes, colors, positionings, styles, and more all coded with Tailwind CSS and Flowbite.
