SwiftUI’s badge()
modifier lets us add numbers and text to tab view items and list rows, with the purpose of drawing the user’s attention to some supplementary status information – something like a number over a tab icon to represent an unread message count, for example.
For example, if you wanted to show the number 5 in red over a tab item, you would use this:
TabView {
Text("Your home screen here")
.tabItem {
Label("Home", systemImage: "house")
}
.badge(5)
}

Badges work just as well with list rows, and automatically appear as right-aligned text in a secondary color. For example, we could make static list rows similar to the iOS Settings app like this:
List {
Text("Wi-Fi")
.badge("LAN Solo")
Text("Bluetooth")
.badge("On")
}
