Xarray Badge

[ianhi]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Projects that build on Xarray may want to include an Xarray badge in their readme or on their docs. For example like on the Hatch project which shows the usage of Hatch and Ruff:

I think this would be a nice fun thing for downstream packages to have. It was suggested to me today by @srivarra

Describe the solution you'd like

It's possible to define a logo in the shields.io format (the defacto standard for these badges as far as I can tell) using a json file hosted in this repo or on xarray.dev. Here is how ruff defines theirs: https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/blob/main/assets/badge/v2.json

I took the Xarray logo and secondary color from the Xarray Brand Guide and came up with this (background color could be changed to any hex color)

Which is made from this link: https://img.shields.io/endpoint?url=https://gist.githubusercontent.com/ianhi/13d9737b1b6cded140de5adde9806944/raw/14a0347146a83762f4159ec68b0a50b454285ba5/gistfile1.json

which points at this gist: https://gist.github.com/ianhi/13d9737b1b6cded140de5adde9806944

We can host a json file in an Xarray controlled repo.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Not have a badge easily available :(

Neat! I feel like we can just include that tiny JSON file in this repo.

The badge looks very nice! Here it is in action!
