Add a way for different styled badges

Feature Request

Q	A
New Feature	yes
RFC	yes
BC Break	no

Summary

I'd like to be able to specify different styles for badges, namely plastic, flat, flat-squared and (maybe) for-the-badge.

style	example
plastic
flat
flat-squared
for-the-badge

I think some are already possible, but it's not documented anywhere and I was unable to find any through trial and error. What do you think?

I also remember this feature in previous versions. I'm afraid we lost them with the 3.0 upgrade.
Would you like to try to restore them?

[ricardoboss]

Yes, I can dig into this and try to restore them. If I run into problems I'll ping you here, ok?

[JellyBellyDev]

Of course! Thanks so much! 😎

Tips

• library used: badges/poser
• in the old docs I found this: https://github.com/PUGX/badge-poser/blob/v2.2.3/src/PUGX/BadgeBundle/Resources/views/Page/home.html.twig#L239

[ricardoboss]

@JellyBellyDev everything done. I suppose I will need to update some docs as well.

[JellyBellyDev]

Assume well! ;)

Another possible solution if the data is available in JSON: shields.io

[JellyBellyDev]

I would prefer not to make our product dependent on an additional external service (shields.io)...

[ricardoboss]

No, I meant not as an alternative renderer, but rather as an alternative to badge-poser.

[JellyBellyDev]

So would you like to throw all this good work you've done in the trash?

[ricardoboss]

No of course not, but future visitors might want to consider alternatives.

[JellyBellyDev]

I'm sorry but I'm not understanding. What are you proposing to do? :)

[ricardoboss]

I'm not proposing anything. I just wanted to tell future visitors of this issue (maybe found via Google) that there may be no need to use badge-poser if you have all information you want to display on your badge available via JSON.

This applied to my use-case, so I no longer need to use badge-poser and this issue is no longer my issue. I will of course still work on my PRs to fix this issue for everyone not being able to use shields.io.

[JellyBellyDev]

Ok, now it's all clear to me. Thank you

[ricardoboss]

Waiting for badges/poser#89 to get merged so a new version of it can be released. Once that happened, I can update and merge #733 to fix this issue :)
