The feature rich ColorPicker component for the modern web, sourced with TypeScript, Cypress tested, WAI-ARIA compliant and lots of goodies. In addition, it features its own version of TinyColor called simply Color.

NPM

You can install ColorPicker through NPM:

$ npm install @thednp/color-picker

Browser Usage

Download the latest package. unpack and inspect the contents. You need to copy the color-picker.js and color-picker.css or their minified variations to your app assets folders as follows. Link the required CSS in your document <head> tag

<link href="../assets/css/color-picker.css" rel="stylesheet" />

Link the required JS in your document <body> tag, though it should work in the <head> as well

<script src="../assets/js/color-picker.js"></script>

Now you can initialize the function for your elements at the end of your <body> tag

<script>
  var myPicker = new ColorPicker('input.SELECTOR');
</script>

To use the DATA-API, you can provide for instance the data-format="hex", and other specific attributes like so:

<label for="myPicker">Color Label</label>
<div class="color-picker">
  <input
    id="myPicker"
    name="myPicker"
    data-function="color-picker"
    data-format="hex"
    data-color-presets="red,green,blue"
    class="color-preview"
    value="#069"
  />
</div>

The data-function="color-picker" attribute is useful for mass initialization, check this usage section of the wiki.

Initialize INPUT

import ColorPicker from '@thednp/color-picker';

const myPicker = new ColorPicker('#myPicker');
