Badgers - Create SVG Badges

Hits-of-Code Rust dependency status Crates.io docs.rs License

This is a Rust crate to generate simple SVG badges to be used e.g. in README files. The subject, status and color of the badge can be configured.

Example

use badgers::{BadgeOptions, Badge};

let options = BadgeOptions {
    subject: "docs".to_owned(),
    status: "0.5.3".to_owned(),
    color: "#4d76ae".to_owned(),
};
let badge = Badge::new(options).unwrap();
let svg = badge.to_svg();

Origin Story

This is a fork of the badge crate in order to replace the now deprecated rusttype crate. rusttype was replaced by ab_glyph as suggested in the rustsec advisory.

This fork was created since the original badge crate is no longer maintained and the code has been removed from the originating repository: rust-lang/docs.rs@94f3bba

While trying to be a 1:1 replacement of badge, either my lack of deep understanding of the problem space or minor differences between rusttype and ab_glyph required some 1 pixel changes in the testcases: vbrandl/badgers@9c8cdb9

This fork exists mostly for personal use in vbrandl/hoc but feel free to give it a try.
