Could potentially be achieved with a custom TabmanBar currently, but would require a fair bit of work to achieve.

Hi Friend,

Hi,
I have added code for badge but can you tell me where I can find the code to check width of tabbar item as per screen so that I can add layer to that X position

[patniemeyer]

This is another case where simply marking fewer items as "internal" would allow people to work around limitations while you are developing. I know you want to guard the API while it's evolving, but for a project like this I think the trade-off of making the code more flexible vs. having some people potentially be disrupted by an update is a good one.

@patniemeyer one of the priorities for Tabman 2 😄

[rzulkoski]

@aman198 @msaps I have added support to Tabman 1 for displaying a badge on an item in pull request #294.

Updated docs can be found here.

Here's the default appearance using the badge text "New!":

Edit: I think I'm going to iterate on this a bit further. Closing the PR for now.

Hi, I add your great library with pod but I can't find badge for using can you help me about it?
THanks,
Vafa

I don’t believe badge support has made it into the current release of Tabman yet. My understanding is that it should make it into Tabman 2.

How can I add it by own in the library?

[msaps]

@rzulkoski @vre142 just released Tabman 2, which doesn't have this built in just yet as a native implementation. But things have been greatly improved in terms of customisation and extendability. This sort of thing could easily be achieved with a custom TMBarButton. (Check out the docs here for more).

I do still plan on adding this into Tabman natively, just didn't quite manage to get it in for 2.0. But at least it should be much easier to achieve for now.

Now available in 2.2.0 🎉
