Kong Hub Badges

[peter-evans]

This is just an idea but it might be cool to have official Kong Hub badges for third-party plugins.
Plugin maintainers could use them on their GitHub repositories to link to the plugin on Kong Hub.

I made the badge below using shields.io for use on kong-plugin-paseto.

What exactly needs to be done here? Seems like badge is already ready.

The badge I made is served from shields.io and the image URL is rather long and messy due to the embedded logo.

I think it would be great to have official badges served from konghq.com. As it's a static site I guess they would need to be generated at build time and the static images for each badge deployed with the site relative to their plugin page.

For example:

https://docs.konghq.com/hub/peter-evans/paseto/badge.svg

Then the badge markdown would simply be:

[![Kong Hub](https://docs.konghq.com/hub/peter-evans/badge.svg)](https://docs.konghq.com/hub/peter-evans/paseto/)

@peter-evans Got it.
I think we can create an assets directory if it does not exist already and add the badge svg in it.

Can someone confirm on this? Which approach would be better?

@arshadkazmi42 serving badge through shields.io would be better assets directory is there ,but its used by organization to serve images directly relevant to docs , i used to add License badge from shields site

We've added badge info to this project README. We're not current hosting assets but this allows plugin contributors to easily input their plugin name and then paste the code to their repo README. Thank you @peter-evans!
