## Getting Started

### Installing

As usual, you need to install from npm/yarn:

```
$ npm install cli-badges
```

### Usage

This is a simple example, using badges to display test results:

```js
const { badge } = require('cli-badges');

const failedBadge  = badge('failed', '2', { theme: 'red' });
const skippedBadge = badge.yellow('skipped', '2');
const successBadge = badge.green('success', '2');

console.log(failedBadge, successBadge, skippedBadge);
```

The above would output something similar to the terminal:

You could also create a donate badge with a link ([if supported](#links)):

```js
const donateBadge = badge.blue('❤️ donate', 'ko-fi', {
  link: 'https://ko-fi.com/logginjs',
});

console.log(donateBadge);
```

![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nombrekeff/cli-badges/master/images/donate-output-example.png)

You can also only show the label:

```js
const onlyLabel = badge('❤️ donate', '', { labelColor: 169 });

console.log(onlyLabel);
```

> ###### Example output is a mock, console output will vary slightly from terminal to terminal.

## Badge Structure

A badge is conformed of a label and a message `<label>:<message>`. Each segment can be customized, by changing bg color, text color and style.

## API

`cli-badges` exports a method called `badge`.

```ts
export function badge(
  label?: string,
  message?: string,
  options?: {
    labelBg?: string | number;
    messageBg?: string | number;
    labelColor?: string | number;
    messageColor?: string | number;
    labelStyle?: string;
    messageStyle?: string;
    labelWidth?: number;
    messageWidth?: number;
    link?: string;
    forceLink?: boolean;
    theme?: string;
    swapTheme?: boolean;
  }
): string;
```

## Available Options

## Colors

`cli-badges` uses [`cli-color`](https://github.com/medikoo/cli-color#colors) internally for managing colors, you can check the list of available colors there. Take into account that when setting a color you don't need to pass the prefix `bg`, it's handled for you. ie: `blackBright` instead of `bgBlackBright`

#### Xterm colors

There are more colors available using xterm colors, see [cli-color xterm colors](https://github.com/medikoo/cli-color#xterm-colors-256-colors-table) for the complete list of available colors.

> **Not supported on Windows and some terminals.** However if used in not supported environment, the closest color from basic (16 colors) palette is chosen.

## Styles

**cli-badges** uses [`cli-color`](https://github.com/medikoo/cli-color#styles) internally for managing styles, you can check the list of available styles there.

> Styles will display correctly if font used in your console supports them.

## Links

You can output badges with a link attached to it, that can be clicked in some terminals.

> #### ⚠︎ cli-badges will only output link if its supported by your terminal.

> See [this](https://gist.github.com/egmontkob/eb114294efbcd5adb1944c9f3cb5feda) for information on supported terminals

```js
badge('with', 'link', { link: 'https://link.com' });
```

## Themes

![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nombrekeff/cli-badges/master/images/themes-preview.png)

Themes are a way to store badge configuration for repeated use. All the options (_except for the theme option, obviously_) that are needed by the badge can be stored by making a theme.

The library comes with a set of inbuilt themes:

#### Inbuilt Themes

- **red** : Red Message Background
- **green** : Green Message Background
- **blue** : Blue Message Background
- **yellow** : Black Colored Message on Yellow Background
- **cyan** : Black Colored Message on Cyan Background
- **magenta** : Black Colored Message on Magenta Background
- **success** : (_'Success'_) Message on Green Background
- **failed** : (_'Failed'_) Message on Red Background

#### Using Themes

You can use the themes in various ways, passing an option `theme` to badge:

```js
badge('label', 'green', { theme: 'green' });
badge('label', 'magenta', { theme: 'magenta', swapTheme: true });
```

Or there are helper methods for ease of use:

```js
badge.green('label', 'green');
badge.failed('theme', 'red');
```

Options present in the theme will override options passed. Missing options will have default values.

### Adding a theme

You can also add you own themes:

```js
badge.addTheme('donate', {
  label: '❤️ donate',
});

badge('', 'ko-fi', { theme: 'donate' });
badge.donate('', 'ko-fi');
```

![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nombrekeff/cli-badges/master/images/donate.png)

> You can also send in a PR and suggest a new inbuilt theme :)

### Swap Properties

You can also **swap** all themes, this means properties from label will be aplied to message and vice versa.

```js
badge.failed('theme', 'red');
badge.failed.swap('theme', 'red');
```

![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nombrekeff/cli-badges/master/images/swap-example.png)

You can check the complete list of themes [here](./docs/themes.md).
