Kuika's Badge element is used to highlight or emphasize certain information in the user interface. As a small and eye-catching label, it is often used to display numbers, status information or notifications. The Badge element is ideal for tracking user interactions or ensuring that important information is not overlooked. For example, Badge on a notification icon can show the number of unread messages. In this tutorial, you will learn how to use the Badge element to present the information you want to highlight in your app.

The Badge element is supported in web and mobile apps.

Badge Element Functions:

Notifications: Shows the number of notifications, such as new messages or unread emails.
Status Indicator: Used to determine the status of an object (for example, the number of incomplete tasks).
Permission Status: Shows the active or inactive status of user permissions (for example, camera permission).
Social Network Notifications: Displays new interactions such as likes, comments or shares.
Map and Journey Apps: Shows travel distance, time to destination or directions.
Games: Shows in-game achievements, points or progress levels.

Add Badge Element

Log in to the Kuika platform.
Select the project you will work on from the Apps screen.
Enter the UI Design module.

From the Elements panel on the left side, drag the Badge element under the Display category and drop it on your screen.

If you drag the Badge element to an empty space, it will automatically be added inside a Row element.
If you drag it into a Column, only the Badge element is added.
You can add Badge element to all Container type elements.

Badge Element Properties

You can configure the properties of the Badge element in the Properties panel on the right sidebar.

Count: You can add a static value or dynamically retrieve a status, the content of an Input element or the value of an action result via Symbol Picker.
Show Zero: Determines whether to show the Badge when the number of notifications is zero. This setting can also be configured dynamically via Symbol Picker.
Max: Sets the maximum value that Badge can show. You can enter a static value or assign a dynamic value with Symbol Picker. For example, if the maximum value is 99, values above this number will be displayed as "99+ ”.
Dot: Makes it appear only as a dot instead of a numeric representation. This setting is typically used for notifications where a numeric value is not needed.

The Badge element helps users quickly recognize important information within the application.
