# badgeCount

The number of items in a multiple-item interaction.

## Declaration

```swift
var badgeCount: Int { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The system uses this value to generate a badge for the stack of selected items to indicate how many items the menu is acting on. A value below 2 hides the badge. If you don’t set this value, the system determines it automatically.
