APIs
You can control the color picker by referencing the toolcool-color-picker HTML tag.
<toolcool-color-picker color="#e76ff1" id="color-picker-1"></toolcool-color-picker>
<script type='text/javascript' src='toolcool-color-picker.min.js'></script>
<script>
// get the reference
const $colorPicker = document.getElementById('color-picker-1');
// change color
$colorPicker.color = '#60f542';
// get color
console.log($colorPicker.rgba);
</script>
APIs: Listen to the change event
// listen to the color change event
const $colorPicker = document.getElementById('color-picker');
// @param {evt} CustomEvent
$colorPicker.addEventListener('change', (evt) => {
console.log(evt.detail.hex);
console.log(evt.detail.hex8);
console.log(evt.detail.rgb);
console.log(evt.detail.rgba);
console.log(evt.detail.hsl);
console.log(evt.detail.hsla);
console.log(evt.detail.hsv);
console.log(evt.detail.hsva);
console.log(evt.detail.color);
});
APIs: Change Color
The color picker uses the awesome TinyColor library for color manipulation. Each color format supported by the TinyColor library can be passed in a color property:
const $colorPicker = document.getElementById('color-picker');
// HEX format
$colorPicker.color = '#60f542';
// OR HEX with opacity
$colorPicker.color = '#60f542ff';
// OR rgb
$colorPicker.color = 'rgb(96, 245, 66)';
// OR rgb with opacity
$colorPicker.color = 'rgba(96, 245, 66, 1)';
// OR hsv
$colorPicker.color = 'hsv(110, 73%, 96%)';
// OR hsv with opacity
$colorPicker.color = 'hsva(110, 73%, 96%, 1)';
// OR hsl
$colorPicker.color = 'hsl(110, 90%, 61%)';
// OR hsl with opacity
$colorPicker.color = 'hsla(110, 90%, 61%, 1)';
APIs: Get current color in different formats
const $colorPicker = document.getElementById('color-picker');
$colorPicker.color = '#367E95';
console.log($colorPicker.hex); // #367E95
console.log($colorPicker.hex8); // #367E95FF
console.log($colorPicker.rgb); // rgb(54, 126, 149)
console.log($colorPicker.rgba); // rgba(54, 126, 149, 1)
console.log($colorPicker.hsl); // hsl(195, 47%, 40%)
console.log($colorPicker.hsla); // hsla(195, 47%, 40%, 1)
console.log($colorPicker.hsv); // hsv(195, 64%, 58%)
console.log($colorPicker.hsva); // hsva(195, 64%, 58%, 1)
You can also access the color object of the TinyColor library. It should only be used to get color values and should not be modified directly.
console.log($colorPicker.color);
APIs: Popup
Open or close color picker popup with the following API:
<toolcool-color-picker color="#e76ff1" id="color-picker"></toolcool-color-picker>
<script src="js/toolcool-color-picker.min.js"></script>
<script>
const $colorPicker = document.getElementById('color-picker');
// open color picker popup
$colorPicker.opened = true;
// close color picker popup
$colorPicker.opened = false;
</script>
Styles
It's possible to control color picker styles through CSS variables:
:root{
/* button */
--tool-cool-color-picker-btn-bg: #b9b9b9;
--tool-cool-color-picker-btn-border-color: #000;
--tool-cool-color-picker-btn-border-color-inner: #363636;
--tool-cool-color-picker-btn-border-radius: 1rem;
--tool-cool-color-picker-btn-border-radius-inner: 1rem;
/* popup */
--tool-cool-color-picker-popup-bg: #b9b9b9;
--tool-cool-color-picker-popup-border-color: #000;
/* fields */
--tool-cool-color-picker-field-border-color: #363636;
--tool-cool-color-picker-field-label-color: #1a3c6e;
}
It's also possible to use CSS variables as inline styles in the following way:
<toolcool-color-picker
color="rgb(255, 200, 10)"
style="--tool-cool-color-picker-btn-bg: #fff"></toolcool-color-picker>
TypeScript Usage
import 'toolcool-color-picker';
import ColorPicker from 'toolcool-color-picker/src/app/color-picker';
// ...
const $colorPicker = document.getElementById('get-color-picker') as ColorPicker;
$colorPicker.addEventListener('change', (evt: Event) => {
const customEvent = evt as CustomEvent;
console.log(customEvent.detail.rgba);
});
$colorPicker.hex = '#fefefe';
