## Creating Custom Platform Badges

You can easily create custom badges for other platforms by extending the `SocialBadge` component:

```jsx
import React from 'react';
import { SocialBadge, SocialBadgeProps } from '@sundaywong/launched-badges';

interface MyCustomBadgeProps extends Omit<SocialBadgeProps, 'platformName' | 'colors' | 'logoComponent'> {
  // Add any unique props for your custom badge if needed
}

export const MyCustomBadge: React.FC<MyCustomBadgeProps> = (props) => {
  // Custom logo
  const customLogo = (
    <svg width="29" height="29" viewBox="0 0 29 29">
      {/* Your custom SVG logo */}
    </svg>
  );

  // Custom colors
  const customColors = {
    light: {
      border: '#ff000020',
      text: '#ff0000',
      background: '#FFFFFF',
    },
    dark: {
      border: '#363636',
      text: '#FFFFFF',
      background: '#201e1e',
    },
  };
  
  const colors = props.theme === 'dark' ? customColors.dark : customColors.light;

  return (
    <SocialBadge
      {...props}
      platformName="My Platform"
      colors={colors}
      logoComponent={customLogo}
    />
  );
};
```

## API

### SocialBadge Props

| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
|------|------|---------|-------------|
| `count` | `number \| string` | - | The count to display. Can be a number or a formatted string (max 6 chars, e.g., "10.5k"). |
| `theme` | `'light' \| 'dark' \| string` | `'light'` | The theme of the badge. Use 'light' or 'dark', or provide a custom theme string (affects default colors if not overridden). |
| `width` | `number` | `220` | The width of the badge in pixels. Scales height proportionally if height is not set. |
| `height` | `number` | - | The height of the badge in pixels. Scales width proportionally if width is not set. |
| `featuredText` | `string` | `'FEATURED ON'` | Text shown above the platform name (max 15 characters). |
| `platformName` | `string` | `'Social'` | The platform name text (used if `platformNameComponent` is not provided). |
| `platformNameComponent` | `React.ReactNode` | - | Custom React node to render the platform name (overrides `platformName`). |
| `linkEnabled` | `boolean` | `true` | Whether to wrap the badge in a link specified by `linkUrl`. |
| `linkUrl` | `string` | - | URL to link to when the badge is clicked (if `linkEnabled` is true). |
| `displayMode` | `'count' \| 'link' \| 'none'` | `'count'` | What to display on the right side: the count/icon, a link icon, or nothing. |
| `iconType` | `'upvote' \| 'upvote-arrow' \| 'likes' \| 'followers' \| 'star'` | `'upvote'` | Icon type to display next to the count when `displayMode` is 'count'. |
| `colors` | `{ border?: string; text?: string; background?: string; }` | - | Object to override specific colors (border, text, background). Takes precedence over theme defaults. |
| `logoComponent` | `React.ReactNode` | - | Custom React node for the logo on the left side. |
| `viewBoxWidth` | `number` | `220` | Override the default SVG viewBox width. Adjusted automatically if `displayMode` is 'none'. |
| `countGroupX` | `number` | `172` | Override the default X position for the count/icon group. |

### Platform-specific Badge Props

Platform-specific badges (`LovableBadge`, `RedditBadge`, etc.) accept all `SocialBadge` props except `platformName`, `colors`, and `logoComponent`, as these are pre-configured for each platform. They provide a convenient way to use styled badges without manual configuration.
