* The badge is a subclass of UILabel view.
* It can be created and customized from the Storyboard or from the code.

## Setup

There are various ways you can add BadgeSwift to your Xcode project.

**Add source (iOS 7+)**

Simply add [BadgeSwift.swift](https://github.com/evgenyneu/swift-badge/blob/master/BadgeSwift/BadgeSwift.swift) file to your project.

#### Setup with Carthage (iOS 8+)

Alternatively, add `github "evgenyneu/swift-badge" ~> 8.0` to your Cartfile and run `carthage update`.

#### Setup with CocoaPods (iOS 8+)

If you are using CocoaPods add this text to your Podfile and run `pod install`.

use_frameworks!
target 'Your target name'
pod 'BadgeSwift', '~> 8.0'

#### Setup with Swift Package Manager

* In Xcode 11+ select *File > Packages > Add Package Dependency...*.
* Enter this project's URL: https://github.com/evgenyneu/swift-badge.git

### Legacy Swift versions

Setup a [previous version](https://github.com/evgenyneu/swift-badge/wiki/Legacy-Swift-versions) of the library if you use an older version of Swift.

## Usage

### Creating a badge in the Storyboard

* Drag a **Label** to your view.
* Set its `class` to `BadgeSwift` in identity inspector.
* Set the `module` property to `BadgeSwift` (unless you used the file setup method).

Add badge to storyboard

* Customize the badge properties in the attributes inspector (text, color and other).
* If storyboard does not show the badge correctly click **Refresh All Views** from the **Editor** menu.

Change badge properties in attribute inspector

*Note*: Carthage setup method does not allow to customize Cosmos view from the storyboard, please do it from code instead.

### Creating a badge from the code

Add `import BadgeSwift` to your source code unless you used the file setup method.

```Swift
let badge = BadgeSwift()
view.addSubview(badge)
// Position the badge ...
```

[See example](https://github.com/evgenyneu/swift-badge/blob/master/Demo-iOS/ViewControllers/CreateBadgeFromCodeViewController.swift) of how to create and position the badge from code in the demo app.

#### Customization

```Swift
// Text
badge.text = "2"

// Insets
badge.insets = CGSize(width: 12, height: 12)

// Font
badge.font = UIFont.preferredFont(forTextStyle: UIFontTextStyle.body)

// Text color
badge.textColor = UIColor.yellow

// Badge color
badge.badgeColor = UIColor.black

// Shadow
badge.shadowOpacityBadge = 0.5
badge.shadowOffsetBadge = CGSize(width: 0, height: 0)
badge.shadowRadiusBadge = 1.0
badge.shadowColorBadge = UIColor.black

// No shadow
badge.shadowOpacityBadge = 0

// Border width and color
badge.borderWidth = 5.0
badge.borderColor = UIColor.magenta

// Customize the badge corner radius.
// -1 if unspecified. When unspecified, the corner is fully rounded. Default: -1.
badge.cornerRadius = 10
```
