Bootstrap-style status badges for Sphinx documentation.

Attach coloured badges to any API element, filter a toctree or autosummary table by badge group with a single click, and add per-group icons and tooltips to make status immediately scannable.

Quick start

1. Add the extension to conf.py:

   extensions = ["sphinx_badges"]
   

2. Define grouped badges in conf.py:

   badges_group_labels = {
       "stability": {
           "label": "Stability",
           "tooltip": "API stability level",
           "icon": "⚡",        # prepended to every badge in this group
       },
       "area": {
           "label": "Area",
           "tooltip": "Functional area",
       },
   }
   
   badges_definitions = {
       "stability:stable":       {"label": "Stable",       "color": "#198754", "text_color": "#fff"},
       "stability:experimental": {"label": "Experimental", "color": "#ffc107", "text_color": "#000"},
       "area:core":              {"label": "Core",         "color": "#6f42c1", "text_color": "#fff"},
       "area:utils":             {"label": "Utils",        "color": "#fd7e14", "text_color": "#fff"},
   }
   

   Badge IDs use a group:name format. badges_group_labels maps group keys to display labels shown above each row of filter buttons. Each group can also carry an icon (prepended to every badge in the group) and a tooltip (shown on hover). Per-badge icon and tooltip can be set directly in badges_definitions to override the group-level values.

   Ungrouped IDs (no colon) are also supported for simpler setups.

3. Attach badges to a page:

   my_function
   ===========
   
   .. badges:: stability:stable area:core
   
   Description here.  Also inline: :badge:`stability:stable`.
   

4. Filter a toctree by badge group:

   .. badge-filter:: stability:stable stability:experimental area:core area:utils
      :filter-mode: or
   
      .. toctree::
   
         api/module_a
         api/module_b
   

   Each group renders as its own labelled row of filter buttons. filter-mode can be or (any active badge matches) or and (all active badges must match; default).

5. Add badges via numpy-style docstrings (autodoc):

   def my_function(x, y):
       """Return the sum.
   
       Badges
       ------
       stability:stable area:core
       """
