Tokei Serverless API

This is a fork of the Tokei badge service that runs as a Vercel serverless function, utilizing Vercel's edge caching for fast responses. You can use the service hosted at https://aschey.tech/tokei or you can fork this repo and host it on your personal Vercel account.

Motivation

Hosting Tokei on a traditional server has the inherent issue of filling up disk space because Tokei works by cloning repositories. This can cause the service to go down if the disk space on the server fills up. Running on a serverless platform mitigates this issue because the container that runs the service is ephemeral. If someone requests a repository that crashes the service, it should still work fine for other users because it will just spin up a separate container.

Standard Options used by shields.io

• style: SVG badge style

  • valid options: flat, flat-square, plastic, social, or for-the-badge
  • default: flat

• label: Override the default label text. Pass in an empty value (label=) to disable.

  • default: Defaults to the label that matches the category

• labelColor: Background color of the label on the left side

  • valid options: brightgreen, green, yellow, yellowgreen, orange, red, blue, grey, lightgrey, or any valid CSS color. Note that CSS color strings like hsl(195, 100%, 50%) must be properly url encoded. You can omit the leading # from hex colors.
  • default: grey

• color: Background color of the metric on the right side

  • valid options: same as above
  • default: blue

• logo: Logo that will appear before the label.

  • valid options: Value can be supplied in either of the following formats:

    • HTTP URL to a hosted svg icon. Example: logo=https://www.svgrepo.com/show/513821/code.svg.
    • Data URL containing a base64-encoded SVG.
      • Note: make sure you use URL-safe base64 encoding (+ characters need to be encoded as %2B). Many tools do not default to this.
      • Example: logo=data:image/svg%2Bxml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaH....

  • default: None

• cacheSeconds: How long to cache the response for. We use Vercel's stale-while-revalidate option to maximize cache efficiency

  • default: 60

Custom Options

• category: Which metric is displayed

  • valid options: lines, code, blanks, comments, files
  • default: lines

• format: Output format

  • valid options: svg or json
  • default: svg

• logoAsLabel: This setting only applies when a logo is supplied and the label is empty. If this setting is true, then the logo will use the label background color. If it is false, it will use the message background color.

  • valid options: 1 or true will be parsed as a truthy value. Everything else will be considered false.

• branch: Use a specific git branch

Self Hosting
