A user recently reached out asking how to display a count of the total number of records connected to the logged-in user’s company inside a badge on the menu component.
At first, I didn’t think this was possible but it turns out almost anything is possible with Pipes involved 
This is the end result we are looking for. (The current logged in user’s > Company, has 6 Projects connected to it)
Here’s the video of me explaining how to do this: 09.09.2020-15.46.44
There was a bit of back and forth before I got the pipe involved so I’ll include missing info below
Reference for video below

setTimeout(function(){
$('#menu-badge').append($('#html-component-variable').text());
