Creating Cute GitHub Badges Based Off a Project's Mood (Node.js)
Read OriginalThis technical article details the creation of a Node.js/Express API that dynamically generates GitHub badges. The badge's color and label indicate a project's 'mood,' calculated by analyzing the average time of day commits are made using the GitHub API. It covers implementation details like using the `gh-badges` npm package, processing commit timestamps, SVG generation, caching strategies for scaling, and setting up tests with Mocha and Travis CI.
