How to use then() and get the value in Cypress

I have a span element which value is 2. I would like to check if the value is greater than 0, but after checked online and implemented every method, it did not work...

Here is the console when I log the $span

I understand that Cypress works asynchronously, so I use .then() to get the text of element. How can I get the value of 2 and do the follow if-else?

HTML

<div>
  <span class="badge ml-1 badge-primary">2</span>
</div>

   cy.get(".badge.ml-1.badge-primary").then(($span)=> {
     if($span.text().includes(0)) {
      doFunction1()
    } else {
      cy.get(xxxxx)
    }
 )}

Do it by chaining conversions methods to go from from element -> text -> number

cy.get(".badge.ml-1.badge-primary")  // get element
  .invoke('text')                    // to text
  .then(text => +text)               // to number
  .then(value => {
    if(value > 0) {                  // now test the number
      doFunction1()
    } else {
      cy.get(xxxxx)
    }
  })

Waiting for value 2

Using built-in Cypress retry instead of manual re-querying.

cy.get(".badge.ml-1.badge-primary")  // get element
  .invoke('text')                    // to text
  .then(text => +text)               // to number
  .should('eq', 2)                   // wait for value 2 (retry)
  .then(() => {
    doFunction1()                    // now doFunction
  })
