options for svg badge

[r3mi]

It seems it is possible to get a SVG badge by replacing the .png extension in the URL with .svg , e.g. https://nodei.co/npm/node.svg
However, it works only for the default badge : adding options reverts to a PNG image, e.g. https://nodei.co/npm/node.svg?compact=true.
Is it the intended behavior ? Or is SVG unsupported, given it is not described on the homepage ?

@r3mi unsupport "officially", it's something I've been tinkering with. The main holdup is that I need to spend some time figuring out the optimal fonts (and font sizes) to use across platforms. You're welcome to contribute if you're interested.

Here's the diff of commits introducing SVG support so far: 9b13e1c...16c538e

Beyond fonts, we need all the options, plus the download histograms.

Are you still interested in this?

[rvagg]

yes, got some time to spare tinkering with this?

[yuchi]

Yes and no, but I’d like to see all those badges in hi-res and looks like an easy enough task to contribute back to this great project.

Another thing to tack on to the svg support - sending the correct headers. Right now the content-type is text/html

$ curl -L -I https://nodei.co/npm/topmarks.svg

It should be set to image/svg+xml

I can open it as a new issue if you'd prefer.
