We at SerpApi show integration test results on documentation pages. Anyone can browse source code of our RSpec files and it’s output. There’s a build badge on all documentation pages which points to the page with the list of test files. Each test file also displays build badge.

We started with [Shields.io](https://shields.io/category/build), but then implemented badges manually in React without SVG and dependencies. [Complete code on Codesandbox.io](https://codesandbox.io/s/build-badge-react-css-no-svg-git0q).

### Badge component usage
```jsx
function App() {
  return (
    <div className="App">
      <BuildBadge
        status="loading"
        summary="loading..."
        page_url="https://serpapi.com/search-api"
      />
      <BuildBadge
        status="error"
        summary="125 examples, 3 failures"
        page_url="https://serpapi.com/organic-results"
      />
      <BuildBadge
        status="success"
        summary="50 examples, 0 failures"
        page_url="https://serpapi.com/google-scholar-api"
      />
      <BuildBadge
        status="pending"
        summary="87 examples, 2 pending"
        page_url="https://serpapi.com/images-results"
      />
    </div>
  );
}
```

### Badge component itself
```jsx
function BuildBadge({ status, summary, page_url }) {
  let spinner;
  if (status === "loading") {
    spinner = <span className="loader" />;
  }
return (
    <div className="build-badge-container">
      <a href={page_url}>
        <div className="badge-name">build</div>
        <div className={`badge-status ${status}`}>
          {spinner}
          <span>{summary}</span>
        </div>
      </a>
    </div>
  );
}
```
