Need help with TOML/JSON Badge

[bcaddy]

I'm having trouble creating a badge from a TOML (preferable) or JSON file hosted on GitHub. Even basing it off of known good ones (i.e. Ruff's badge) I get one of the following error badges

• custom badge | no result
• 404 | badge not found
• custom badge | [object Object]

The files are:

{
  "badge": {
    "label": "left text",
    "message": "right text",
    "labelColor": "purple",
    "color": "red"
  }
}

[badge]
label = "left text"
message = "right text"
labelColor = "purple"
color = "red"

and the badges are:

json: ![Dynamic JSON Badge](https://img.shields.io/badge/dynamic/json?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fbcaddy%2Ftemporary-badge-testing%2Fblob%2Fmain%2Fbadge.json&query=%25.badge) =

toml: ![Dynamic TOML Badge](https://img.shields.io/badge/dynamic/toml?url=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2Fbcaddy%2Ftemporary-badge-testing%2Frefs%2Fheads%2Fmain%2Fbadge.toml&query=%24.badge) =

What am I doing wrong?

The first badge you linked uses non-raw github link, which does not serve the file to us but the web-view.
The second badge does use the raw github link, and that's why you do see an object.
So to fix the first badge (json) change the link to a raw github link using that button
similar to how you did for the TOML dynamic badge.

Regarding the label, message, labelcolor and color:

• Your JSON value is changing the message field
• You can use an array or a string (array will be joined with ','
• Label, label color and message color can be set by the badge query params,

To set query parameters to fit your test use the 'Show optional parameters' as seen bellow and set colors and label

For your JSON example that would look like that:

![Dynamic JSON Badge](https://img.shields.io/badge/dynamic/json?url=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2Fbcaddy%2Ftemporarybadgetesting%2Frefs%2Fheads%2Fmain%2Fbadge.json&query=%24.badge.message&label=left%20text&labelColor=purple&color=red)

But here the badge label and colors are not dynamic, to change them you will have to change the badge's link.

If you intended for all JSON values to change the badge's values dynamically you might want to use the Endpoint badge instead.

To use that you will have to update the schema you use to fit the Endpoint badge schema

Ok, I didn't realize that the TOML/JSON badges could only supply the message information, it seems like an endpoint badge is a better option for me.

I got the endpoint badge working with almost everything I want. What I actually want is to have everything except the message stored in the JSON file and then be able to supply/override the message in the link. Is that possible?

I see that in #6815 that this is not supported. I'll comment there. Thank you.
