# Luzifer / badge-gen
Ever ran into this scenario? You wanted to add a link to something to your GitHub project using a nice button like the Godoc or the Travis-CI button but you was not able to find a button for this having the text you wanted? I did. I wanted to add a button "API Documentation" to one of my projects and did not find any button with that caption. So I wrote it myself.
And I wasn't myself if I would allow me to do the same work twice or more often so I wrote a small webserver able to generate those buttons with a customizable text in SVG (I did not care about older browser since long ago)…
## Usage
### Using my version
Simple use this URL:
```
http://badge.luzifer.io/v1/badge?title=API&text=Documentation&color=4c1
```
![YourTitle](http://badge.luzifer.io/v1/badge?title=API&text=Documentation&color=4c1)
Parameters `title` and `text` are free-text strings while `color` has to be 3- or 6-letter hex notation for colors like that one you use in CSS.
To embed them into Markdown pages like this `README.md`:
```
![YourTitle](http://badge.luzifer.io/v1/badge?title=API&text=Documentation&color=4c1)
```
### Using your own hosted version
- There is a [Docker container](https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/luzifer/bage-gen/) for it. Just start it and use your own URL
- You also can download the binary from [GoBuilder.me](https://gobuilder.me/github.com/Luzifer/badge-gen) and use that one
