Depfu for Gitlab repos

[kris7t]

📋 Description

The Depfu service is using the /github/shields endpoint of Depfu, which means it can only query the status of Github repos. It would be nice to be able to query Gitlab repos.

🔗 Data

Depfu also has a https://depfu.com/gitlab/shields/${userRepo} endpoint, which acts the same as the /github/shields endpoint, but for Gitlab repos.

🎤 Motivation

While Depfu provides built-in badges, their style cannot be customized (e.g., ?style=flat-square), so it would be still useful to have this as a shields.io badge.

I think the way to do this will be to make new routes

• /depfu/github/:userRepo+
• /depfu/gitlab/:userRepo+

and then redirect /depfu/anything/else to /depfu/github/anything/else for backwards compatibility

[kris7t]

Btw, I managed to find a workaround by using the underlying JSON endpoint directly, such as

https://img.shields.io/badge/dynamic/json?color=colorscheme&label=dependencies&query=text&url=https%3A%2F%2Fdepfu.com%2Fgitlab%2Fshields%2F{user}%2F{repo}&style=flat-square

But adding the routes would certainly be much nicer. I could try adding it myself, if I can manage to understand how redirectors and routes are set up. 🙂

If you are interested in looking at it https://github.com/badges/shields/blob/c73072deed8eb6a5b9f51a06377f5f396ef21842/services/circleci/circleci.service.js is probably a good example to crib from
