Badge visibility

The visibility of badges can be controlled using the invisible prop.

  <MailIcon />
</Badge>
<Badge color="secondary" badgeContent={0} showZero>
  <MailIcon />

Maximum value

You can use the max prop to cap the value of the badge content.

<Badge badgeContent={99} {...defaultProps} />
<Badge badgeContent={100} {...defaultProps} />

The dot prop changes a badge into a small dot. This can be used as a notification that something has changed without giving a count.
