How to use BBBadgeBarButtonItem in swift

Question

I want badge on a BarButton and I came across BBBadgeBarButtonItem but I am not sure if this will work in swift or not.

PS I am very new to iOS and swift

When I try to use it like the readme file says, I am getting an error at import line "Expected Identifier at import declaration"

Try it and then ask a question if you run in to a specific problem. — Dash, May 31 '15 at 21:49
adding a import statement is failing for me, when I write import "BBBadgeBarButtonItem.h" in my view controller.swift i get an error "Expected identifier in import declaration" Is it because when I dropped the files in my project it did not ask for bridge file — T_C, May 31 '15 at 22:01

Import it in you bridging header like this:

#import <BBBadgeBarButtonItem/BBBadgeBarButtonItem.h>

You need what's called an Objective-C bridging header since BBBadgeBarButtonItem is written in Objective-C and your project is Swift.

Once you've properly created your bridging header you'll then add the following to it:

#import BBBadgeBarButtonItem.h

You should then be able to do something like (untested):

let customButton = UIButton()
let barButton = BBBadgeBarButtonItem(customUIButton: customButton)
barButton.badgeValue = 1

That works like charm, thanks. I already had a bridge-header file for some other library, just added the import statement to it. – T_C Jun 01 '15 at 02:49
the badgeValue would be as String – Dilip Tilonia May 21 '20 at 11:44
