Hello everyone! Today, we'll be making this chip:
Inbox (3)
The html structure is quite minimal, a single container:
<div class="chip">Inbox (3)</div>
The css uses transparent borders of before and after pseudo-elements, as well as border radiuses, to achieve the desired visual effect.
Currently the height of the chip is hardcoded at 32px. Next step would be to make this size-adjustable, by means of em's or CSS variables.
.chip {
display: inline;
border-radius: 1em 0 0 1em;
margin-right: 32px;
padding: 0.2em 0.2em 0.2em 0.6em;
height: 32px;
background: white;
position: relative;
}
.chip::before {
content: "";
display: block;
position: absolute;
right: -16px;
top: 0;
width: 16px;
height: 32px;
border-top: 17px solid white;
border-right: 12px solid transparent;
}
.chip::after {
content: "";
display: block;
position: absolute;
right: -16px;
bottom: 0;
width: 16px;
height: 32px;
border-bottom: 17px solid white;
border-right: 12px solid transparent;
}
