Color Picker

<p-color-picker> | PColorPicker
Since 1.0 stable

Color pickers allow the user to select a color.

<p-color-picker label="Select a color"></p-color-picker>

import PColorPicker from 'pure-uikit/dist/react/color-picker';

const App = () => <PColorPicker label="Select a color" />;

Examples

Initial Value

Use the value attribute to set an initial value for the color picker.

<p-color-picker value="#4a90e2" label="Select a color"></p-color-picker>

import PColorPicker from 'pure-uikit/dist/react/color-picker';

const App = () => <PColorPicker value="#4a90e2" label="Select a color" />;

Opacity

Use the opacity attribute to enable the opacity slider. When this is enabled, the value will be displayed as HEXA, RGBA, HSLA, or HSVA based on format. 

<p-color-picker value="#f5a623ff" opacity label="Select a color"></p-color-picker>

import PColorPicker from 'pure-uikit/dist/react/color-picker';

const App = () => <PColorPicker opacity label="Select a color" />;

Formats

Set the color picker’s format with the format attribute. Valid options include hex, rgb, hsl, and hsv. Note that the color picker’s input will accept any parsable format (including CSS color names) regardless of this option.

To prevent users from toggling the format themselves, add the no-format-toggle attribute.

<p-color-picker format="hex" value="#4a90e2" label="Select a color"></p-color-picker>
<p-color-picker format="rgb" value="rgb(80, 227, 194)" label="Select a color"></p-color-picker>
<p-color-picker format="hsl" value="hsl(290, 87%, 47%)" label="Select a color"></p-color-picker>
<p-color-picker format="hsv" value="hsv(55, 89%, 97%)" label="Select a color"></p-color-picker>

import PColorPicker from 'pure-uikit/dist/react/color-picker';

const App = () => (
  <>
    <PColorPicker format="hex" value="#4a90e2" />
    <PColorPicker format="rgb" value="rgb(80, 227, 194)" />
    <PColorPicker format="hsl" value="hsl(290, 87%, 47%)" />
    <PColorPicker format="hsv" value="hsv(55, 89%, 97%)" />
  </>
);

Swatches

Use the swatches attribute to add convenient presets to the color picker. Any format the color picker can parse is acceptable (including CSS color names), but each value must be separated by a semicolon (;). Alternatively, you can pass an array of color values to this property using JavaScript. 

<p-color-picker
  label="Select a color"
  swatches="
    #d0021b; #f5a623; #f8e71c; #8b572a; #7ed321; #417505; #bd10e0; #9013fe;
    #4a90e2; #50e3c2; #b8e986; #000; #444; #888; #ccc; #fff;
  "
></p-color-picker>

import PColorPicker from 'pure-uikit/dist/react/color-picker';

const App = () => (
  <PColorPicker
    label="Select a color"
    swatches="
      #d0021b; #f5a623; #f8e71c; #8b572a; #7ed321; #417505; #bd10e0; #9013fe;
      #4a90e2; #50e3c2; #b8e986; #000; #444; #888; #ccc; #fff;
    "
  />
);

Sizes

Use the size attribute to change the color picker’s trigger size.

<p-color-picker size="small" label="Select a color"></p-color-picker>
<p-color-picker size="medium" label="Select a color"></p-color-picker>
<p-color-picker size="large" label="Select a color"></p-color-picker>

import PColorPicker from 'pure-uikit/dist/react/color-picker';

const App = () => (
  <>
    <PColorPicker size="small" label="Select a color" />
    <PColorPicker size="medium" label="Select a color" />
    <PColorPicker size="large" label="Select a color" />
  </>
);

Inline

The color picker can be rendered inline instead of in a dropdown using the inline attribute. 

<p-color-picker inline label="Select a color"></p-color-picker>

import PColorPicker from 'pure-uikit/dist/react/color-picker';

const App = () => <PColorPicker inline label="Select a color" />;
