Answer
To align badges on top of pagination controls and breadcrumbs in Bootstrap, you can use Bootstrap's utility classes to position the badges appropriately. Here's a simple example demonstrating how to achieve this alignment.
<!-- BEGIN COPY / PASTE -->
<nav aria-label="Page navigation example">
<ul class="pagination">
<li class="page-item">
<span class="badge bg-primary position-absolute top-0 start-100 translate-middle">4</span>
<a class="page-link" href="#">1</a>
</li>
<li class="page-item">
<span class="badge bg-primary position-absolute top-0 start-100 translate-middle">2</span>
<a class="page-link" href="#">2</a>
</li>
<li class="page-item">
<span class="badge bg-primary position-absolute top-0 start-100 translate-middle">3</span>
<a class="page-link" href="#">3</a>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
<nav aria-label="breadcrumb">
<ol class="breadcrumb">
<li class="breadcrumb-item">
<span class="badge bg-secondary position-absolute top-0 start-100 translate-middle">New</span>
<a href="#">Home</a>
</li>
<li class="breadcrumb-item">
<span class="badge bg-secondary position-absolute top-0 start-100 translate-middle">Updated</span>
<a href="#">Library</a>
</li>
<li class="breadcrumb-item active" aria-current="page">
<span class="badge bg-secondary position-absolute top-0 start-100 translate-middle">Current</span>
Data
</li>
</ol>
</nav>

✅ Answered with Bootstrap 5 best practices.- The `position-absolute`, `top-0`, `start-100`, and `translate-middle` classes are used to position the badges at the top right of each item.
- Adjust the badge content and styles as needed to fit your design requirements.
- Ensure that the parent elements have `position: relative` to allow absolute positioning of the badges.
