This picks up @RedSparr0w's work in #1802.
1. The handler for the static badge is moved into its own service with a synchronous handler. Avoiding an async call may make the static badges slightly faster, though it may be worth profiling this if it turns out we want asynchronous static badges in the future. If it doesn't make a performance difference we could make this handler `async` like the others.
2. Most of the custom static-badge logic is in a BaseStaticBadge base class.
3. Rewrite the static Gitter badge to use BaseStaticBadge.
4. A bit of minor cleanup in related functions.
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
