        let button3 = BadgeBarButtonItem(title: "Messages", badgeText: "3", target: self, action: #selector(chatButtonTapped))
        
        navigationItem.rightBarButtonItems = [button1, button2, button3]

        button1.badgeText = "2"
        
        DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 5) {
            button1.badgeText = "test"
        }

        DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 10) {
            button1.badgeText = "8"
            button2.badgeText = "99"
            button2.badgeFontColor = .black
            button2.badgeBackgroundColor = .yellow
        }
        
        DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 15) {
            button1.badgeText = nil
            button3.badgeText = "some test"
