Support Now CI badge

It might sounds crazy, but it’s truly beautiful to use it as CI/CD 😄

How?

now.json

{
  "version": 2,
  "name": "tunnckocore-template",
  "builds": [{ "src": "package.json", "use": "@now/static-build" }]
}

and define now-build script

"scripts": {
  "lint": "yarn scripts devest lint",
  "test": "yarn scripts devest test",
  "build": "yarn scripts pika-pack build --out dist",
  "status:pass": "badgen --subject build --status passing --color green > dist/badge.svg",
  "status:fail": "badgen --subject build --status failing --color red > dist/badge.svg",
  "pkg": "yarn lint && yarn test && yarn build",
  "now-build": "(yarn pkg && yarn status:pass) || yarn status:fail"
},

The thing is, that when build fails, it actually doesn’t publish the contents of dist/ so we can’t just get the generated failing badge. For now I can just point the badge to https://<myrepo>.<my-zeit-username>.now.sh/badge.svg

So, the alternatively we can have it here, and query directly the API with https://zeit.co/docs/api#endpoints/deployments/list-deployments and get the first item from the data.deployments[0].state We’ll need the deployment “name” and fitler by it and after that get the first item. But, sadly, the API endpoint wants a token, which might be a problem, because we also have some rate limits there. But we have caching here, right? So it won’t be a problem?

I can PR, but we’ll need to add a token to the secrets.

That’s brilliant, almost worked 😂

+1 on the github way

Just realize that we already have the combined status badge 😂 with exactly this schema:

/github/:topic<status>/:owner/:repo/:ref?
