How to set the tab bar badge with swift?


If you got the reference to the tabBarController (e.g. from the UIViewController) you can do the following:

if let tabItems = tabBarController?.tabBar.items {    // In this case we want to modify the badge number of the third tab:    let tabItem = tabItems[2]    tabItem.badgeValue = "1"}

From a UITabBarController it would be tabBar.items instead of tabBarController?.tabBar.items

and to delete the badge:

tabItem.badgeValue = nil


The following line may help you to show badge in UITabBerItem

tabBarController?.tabBar.items?[your_desired_tabBer_item_number].badgeValue = value


Set badgeValue in ViewDidAppear. Otherwise it may not appear from app loading.

import UIKitclass TabBarController: UITabBarController {override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {    super.viewDidAppear(animated)    self.tabBar.items![2].badgeValue = "7"}}

No safe checks since you are in general sure that you have TabBar with n tabs.
