# GitHub badges in SVG format
[![npm version](http://b.adge.me/npm/v/gh-badges.svg)](https://npmjs.org/package/gh-badges)
![coverage](https://rawgithub.com/badges/gh-badges/master/coverage.svg)
Make your own badges [here][badges]!
[badges]: <http://b.adge.me>
# Install the API
```bash
npm install gh-badges
```
```js
var badge = require('gh-badges');
badge({ text: [ "build", "passed" ], colorscheme: "green" },
function(svg) {
// svg is a String… of your badge.
});
```
# Use the CLI
```bash
npm install -g gh-badges
badge build passed :green .png > mybadge.png
# Stored a PNG version of your badge on disk.
```
# Set the Server
```bash
git clone git@github.com:badges/gh-badges
cd gh-badges
npm install
sudo npm start
```
# Format
The format is the following:
```js
{
/* Textual information shown, in order. */
"text": [ "build", "passed" ],
"colorscheme": "green"
/* … Or… */
"colorA": "#555",
"colorB": "#4c1"
}
```
# Defaults
If you want to add a default badge, you only need to modify
`default-badges.json`. The format is the same as that given to the API.
If you want to add a colorscheme, head to `colorscheme.json`. Each scheme has a
name and a [CSS/SVG color][] for the color used in the first box (for the first
piece of text, field `colorA`) and for the one used in the second box (field
`colorB`).
[CSS/SVG color]: http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/types.html#DataTypeColor
```js
"green": {
"colorB": "#4c1"
}
```
Both `colorA` and `colorB` have default values. Usually, the first box uses the
same dark grey, so you can rely on that default value by not providing a
`"colorA"` field (such as above).
You can also use the `"colorA"` and `"colorB"` fields directly in the badges if
you don't want to make a color scheme for it. In that case, remove the
`"colorscheme"` field altogether.
# Requirements
Because of the usage of the npm module [canvas][canvas-pkg] *you need* to have
**cairo** installed.
For more information check the [wiki][canvas-wiki] of the canvas project with
system-specific installation details.

# Making your Heroku badge server

[Heroku Toolbelt]: (https://toolbelt.heroku.com/):
```bash
heroku login
heroku create your-app-name
heroku config:set BUILDPACK_URL=https://github.com/mojodna/heroku-buildpack-multi.git#build-env
cp /path/to/Verdana.ttf .
