In my previous post Generate markdown from PowerShell with MarkdownPS I explained the basic cmdlets of the PowerShell module MarkdownPS.
Shields.io provides many interesting badges out of the box, but there is also an API that can be used to render any badge.
https://img.shields.io/badge/<SUBJECT>-<STATUS>-<COLOR>.svg
The above just renders 
On version 1.4 of the MarkdownPS a new parameter set was added to the New-MDImage cmdlet to drive this api.
New-MDImage -Subject "<SUBJECT>" -Status "<STATUS>" -Color red
Renders
The produced url in the image is url encoded. The parameter -Color accepts only values that the shields.io API allows.
| Color | Badge |
|---|---|
| brightgreen |  |
| green |  |
| yellowgreen |  |
| brightgreen | |
| yellow |  |
| orange |  |
| red |  |
| lightgrey |  |
| blue |  |
To make a badge clickable then use the -Link parameter like this
New-MDImage -Subject "example.com" -Status "OK" -Color green -Link "https://example.com"
