Deps.rs already has its own badge but shields.io allows for a wider variety of themes and customizations. That service has an endpoint feature that gives the option to generate badges for systems that are not natively supported by them.
There are several additional features that can be defined in the data for the endpoint but for now I kept it simple and only provided the basic information that is equivalent to the self-generated badge.
The badge can be easily tested by using a service like
ngrok
:Currently I'm just not sure where to inform about this feature on the deps page, therefore I made this a draft.
