# GitHub badges in SVG format
[![npm version](http://b.adge.me/npm/v/gh-badges.svg)](https://npmjs.org/package/gh-badges)
Make your own [badges][] (like this one above)!
[badges]: <http://b.adge.me>
# Contribute
If you want to add a badge, you only need to modify `default-badges.json`.
The format is the following:
```js
/* Unique name of your badge. */
"build-passed": {
/* Textual information shown, in order. */
"text": [ "build", "passed" ],
"colorscheme": "green"
}
```
Color schemes are located in `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.
