Unread Count on Custom Navigation Item Icon

[yasas]

Hi all,

Greetings!

I have created a custom Unread topics page for a plugin that I am developing.

I wanted to get the unread topic count on the Icon on the navigation bar just like the default Unread page icon has.

I tried quite a bit but couldn't find any direction on how do get this done.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

Update:

Was able to sort this with a client script.
Example usage:
plugin.json -> { "hook": "filter:navigation.available", "method": "addNavigation" }
plugin.json -> "scripts": [ "static/lib/client-script.js",... ],

library.js addNavigation:
append the following to the hookData object:

			{
				route: '<some route>',
				title: <some title>,
				id: 'unread-count',
				iconClass: '<some icon> custom-class-name',
				text: <some title>
			}

client-script.js:
$("#unread-count .custom-class-name").attr("data-content",<unread count>)
