badge-generator VS node

I use a workflow similar to the one above that is implemented in my Badge Generator web app, which is built in Vue and Yarn.

Looking through my classmates' contributions for Hacktoberfest, I found badge-generator - a cool tool that helps us create markdown badges for our documentations. The owner wants to implement the dark mode for the site, and since the tool is written with VueJS, I decided to challenge myself as I could also continue to learn this framework.

Eventually, I remembered one of the repos that I've used before to contribute to one of the Hacktoberfest issues, I thought that it would be nice to give back (hint hint😉😉😉 something to think about when looking for an issue... hint😉) to that repo. I quickly gave up everything I was doing and went to check it out to see if it is even active and if it has any open issues I could work on. To my surprise, no one except the author has ever contributed to that before, so I am now officially one of the first contributors there.😋

After browsing for a while, I found MichaelCurrin's project, badge-generator. The project is a simple interface for simplifying the creation of badges, used in several open source projects to show things like the version number of the project, whether the project is currently building, etc. A badge usually looks like this:

I learned was that even if an issue seems small and something that you can handle, it doesn't mean you will not learn a lot out of it. During the process, I learned about a handy open source repo that helps to generate badges to make README files look prettier. And a cool tool that has all the emojis you need for your frontend.

Node.js can be easily installed from its official website. Depending on your operating system, you can choose the Windows, macOS, or Linux version. Node.js packages come with npm (Node Package Manager), which is essential for managing dependencies in your projects.

To get started with Node.js 22.0.0, you can download the latest version from the official Node.js website. For those upgrading from an older version, it is recommended to test your existing applications for compatibility with the new release, particularly if you are using native modules or rely heavily on third-party npm packages.

Node.js (version 10 or higher)

Before we start, ensure that you have Node.js installed on your computer. This is necessary because we will use Node's package manager (npm) to create our Next.js project. If you need to install Node.js, you can download it from the official Node.js website.

Before starting a new project in react, you need to make sure that you have NodeJS install on your system. You can download the latest version of node at https://nodejs.org. Follow the instructions on the node website to do the installation.

Installing Node.js: Download and install Node.js from nodejs.org. Choose the version recommended for most users, unless you have specific needs that require the latest features or earlier compatibility.

You should have Nodejs installed on your laptop and if not, check the Node.js official website, and download/ install the latest and stable release.
