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. Color names are taken from the Mozilla color keywords list.

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:

Emojis

It is possible to use emoji characters in badge labels and values. Here are some examples:

These files were created by using the actual emoji character in the label/value text. For example:

badge = anybadge.Badge(label="Pipeline status", value="😄")

There are some caveats worth mentioning:

• The "look" of the emoji is determined by the client (Emoji characters are placed as-is into the SVG file, and are rendered client-side)
• Rendering may fail in some viewers and developer IDEs (for example, PyCharm does not render emojis in the svg viewer)
• Emojis can have different widths, so the layout may be affected. You can use num_label_padding_chars and num_value_padding_chars to fix (see below)

Here are some examples to show how to use padding to fix layout:

Badge	Code
	anybadge.Badge("Pipeline status", "😄")
	anybadge.Badge("Pipeline status", "😄", num_value_padding_chars=1)

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
