Format

The format is the following:

{
  text: [ 'build', 'passed' ],  // Textual information shown, in order

  format: 'svg',  // Also supports json

  colorscheme: 'green',
  // or ...
  colorA: '#555',
  colorB: '#4c1',

  // See templates/ for a list of available templates.
  // Each offers a different visual design.
  template: 'flat',
}

Defaults

If you want to add a colorscheme, head to lib/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).

"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.
