This simplifies and further optimizes text-width computation by computing the entire width table in advance, and serializing it in the style of QuickTextMeasurer (#1390). This entirely removes the need for PDFKit at runtime. This has the advantage of fixing #1305 – more generally: producing the same result everywhere – without having to deploy a copy of Verdana.
The lifting is delegated to these three libraries, which are housed in a monorepo: https://github.com/metabolize/anafanafo
I'd be happy to move it into the badges org if folks want to collaborate on maintaining them.
QuickTextMeasurer took kerning pairs into account, whereas this implementation does not. I was thinking kerning would be a necessary refinement, though this seems to work well enough.
I dropped in a binary-search package to traverse the data structure, in part to conserve space. This causes a moderate performance regression, though there is ample room for improving on that: https://github.com/badges/shields/pull/2311#issuecomment-439182704
* move gh-badges files out of /lib
As far as possible, this is just moving files
around and updating paths however there are 2
functional changes in this commit:
- remove use of lib/register-chai-plugins.spec
in badge-cli.spec.js
- remove use of starRating()
in text-measurer.spec.js
* update service tests that use colorscheme.json
* split package.json in two
* clean up import
* don't hard-code path
* start a changelog
* put a license file in the package dir
* re-organise documentation 📚
* don't pack test files
* remove favicon from Makefile
* give package its own test command
* link the docs better in README
