Installation

Install the gem

sudo gem install badge

Usage

Call badge in your projects root folder

badge

It will search all subfolders for your asset catalog app icon set and add the badge to the icons.

You can also run badge on your Android, tvOS icons, or any other iconset. You have to use the --glob "/**/*.appiconset/*.{png,PNG}" parameter to adjust where to find your icons.

⚠️ Note that you have to use a / in the beginning of the custom path, even if you're not starting from the root path, f.ex. if your icons are in res/ios/beta/Appicon/*, your badge call would be badge --glob "/res/ios/beta/Appicon/*"

The keep the alpha channel in the icons use --alpha_channel

Be careful, it actually overwrites the icon files.

Here is the dark option (also available in combination with --alpha):

badge --dark

You can also use your custom overlay/badge image

badge --custom "path_to/custom_badge.png"

Add a shield at the top of your icon for all possibilites head over to: shields.io. You just have to add the string of shield (copied from the URL)

badge --shield "Version-0.0.3-blue"

Sometimes the response from shields.io takes a long time and can timeout. You can adjust the timeout to shields.io with --shield_io_timeout 10 accordingly.

--shield_gravity North changes the postion of the shield on the icon. Choices include: NorthWest, North, NorthEast, West, Center, East, SouthWest, South, SouthEast.

--shield_parameters "colorA=abcdef&style=flat" changes the parameters of the shield image. It uses a string of key-value pairs separated by ampersand as specified on shields.io, eg: colorA=abcdef&style=flat.

In version 0.4.0 the default behavior of the shield graphic has been changed. The shield graphic will always be resized to aspect fill the icon instead of just adding the shield on the icon. To disable the new behaviour use --shield_no_resize which now only puts the shield on the icon again.

Add --no_badge as an option to hide the beta badge completely if you just want to add a shield.

Use badge --help to get list all possible parameters.
