# badge(_:)

Generates a badge for a tab from an integer value.

## Declaration

```swift
nonisolated func badge(_ count: Int) -> some TabContent<Self.TabValue>

```

## Parameters

- `count`: An integer value to display in the badge. Set the value to zero to hide the badge.

## Discussion

Discussion Use a badge to convey optional, supplementary information about a view. The number provided will appear as a numerical indicator on the given tab. The following example shows a TabView with the value of alerts.count displayed as a badge on the alerts tab. TabView {     Tab("Home", systemImage: "house") {         HomeView()     }     Tab("Alerts", systemImage: "bell") {         AlertsView()     }     .badge(alerts.count) }
