anybadge 1.11.0

Simple, flexible badge generator for project badges.

anybadge

Python project for generating badges for your projects

Supports: Python 3.4-3.9 (2.7 support has been dropped)

Overview

anybadge can be used to add badge generation to your Python projects, and also provides a command line interface.

This utility can be used to generate .svg badge images, using configurable thresholds for coloring the badges based on the badge value. Many badge generation tools just provide the ability to specify the color of badge. anybadge allows you to specify the label, badge value, and color, but it also allows you to specify a set of thresholds that can be used to select a color based on the badge value.

anybadge may be useful for companies developing internally, or any time making calls to external badge services is not possible, or undesirable. In this situation using anybadge will be easier than running your own internal badge service.

The package can be imported into your python code, or run direct from the command line.

Demo

You can find a repl.it demo here. This will allow you to see what the package can do and play with it to test outputs.

Basic usage

Command line

As an example, if you want to produce a pylint badge, you may run anybadge from the command line like this:

anybadge -l pylint -v 2.22 -f pylint.svg 2=red 4=orange 8=yellow 10=green

This would result in a badge like this:

In this example the label is set to "pylint", the value "2.22", and an output file called "pylint.svg". The thresholds are provided in pairs of <value>=color Values can be integer or floats for ranges, and string values are also supported.

Python

Here is the same example implemented in Python code:

import anybadge

# Define thresholds: <2=red, <4=orange <8=yellow <10=green
thresholds = {2: 'red',
              4: 'orange',
              6: 'yellow',
              10: 'green'}

badge = anybadge.Badge('pylint', 2.22, thresholds=thresholds)

badge.write_badge('pylint.svg')

Installation

anybadge is available in PyPi at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/anybadge

You can install the latest release of anybadge using pip:

pip install anybadge

This will install the Python package, and also make anybadge available as a command line utility.

Getting help

To get help from the command line utility, just run:

anybadge --help

Command line usage

Output

Running the utility with the --file option will result in the .svg image being written to file. Without the --file option the .svg file content will be written to stdout, so can be redirected to a file.

Thresholds

Some thresholds have been built in to save time. To use these thresholds you can simply specify the template name instead of threshold value/color pairs.

anybadge --value=<VALUE> --file=<FILE> <TEMPLATE-NAME>

For example:

anybadge --value=2.22 --file=pylint.svg pylint

Colors

Anybadge comes with some pre-defined colors, which can be referred to by name. It also supports the use of custom colors by using the hex representation of the color. Both color types can be used in the default_color, text_color and thresholds attributes.

Here is a Python example showing use of a named color and a custom color.

import anybadge

badge = anybadge.Badge(label='custom color', value='teal', default_color='teal', num_padding_chars=1)
badge = anybadge.Badge(label='custom color', value='teal', default_color='#008080', num_padding_chars=1)

Available named colors are:

Color Name	Hex	Example
aqua	#00FFFF
black	#000000
blue	#0000FF
bright_red	#FF0000
bright_yellow	#FFFF00
fuchsia	#FF00FF
gray	#808080
green	#4C1
light_grey	#9F9F9F
lime	#00FF00
maroon	#800000
navy	#000080
olive	#808000
orange	#FE7D37
purple	#800080
red	#E05D44
silver	#C0C0C0
teal	#008080
white	#FFFFFF
yellow	#DFB317
yellow_green	#A4A61D

Semantic version support

Anybadge supports semantic versions for value and threshold keys. This supports color-coded badges based on version numbering. Here are some examples:

badge = Badge(
    label='Version',
    value='3.0.0',
    thresholds={'3.0.0': 'red', '3.2.0': 'orange', '999.0.0': 'green'},
    semver=True
)

In the above example the thresholds equate to the following:

• If value is < 3.0.0 then badge will be red.
• If value is < 3.2.0 then badge will be orange.
• If value is < 999.0.0 then badge will be green.

Each threshold entry is used to define the upper bounds of the threshold. If you don't know the upper bound for your version number threshold you will need to provide an extreme upper bound - in this example it is 999.0.0.

Examples

Pylint using template

anybadge --value=2.22 --file=pylint.svg pylint

Pylint using arguments

anybadge -l pylint -v 2.22 -f pylint.svg 2=red 4=orange 8=yellow 10=green

Coverage using template

anybadge --value=65 --file=coverage.svg coverage

Pipeline, using labeled colors

anybadge --label=pipeline --value=passing --file=pipeline.svg passing=green failing=red

Badge with fixed color

anybadge --label=awesomeness --value="110%" --file=awesomeness.svg --color='#97CA00'

GitLab Scoped style badge

anybadge --style=gitlab-scoped --label=Project --value=Archimedes --file=gitlab_scoped.svg --color='#c1115d'

Thresholds based on semantic versions

anybadge --label=Version --value=2.4.5 --file=version.svg 1.0.0=red 2.4.6=orange 2.9.1=yellow 999.0.0=green

Importing in your own app
