Maven NPM Downloads

Coloris NPM

A lightweight and elegant JavaScript color picker written in vanilla ES6.
Convert any text input field into a color field.

Forked from https://github.com/mdbassit/Coloris so we could provide TypeScript and NPM support. Head over to Momo Bassit's original repo for user documentation.

Bundlers

See the tests directory for examples with different bundlers.

NPM

You can download the color picker from NPM:

# using NPM
npm install @melloware/coloris
# using Yarn
yarn add @melloware/coloris

And then use it within a module environment, e.g. with browserify, rollup, webpack etc. In this case, you must initialize the color picker before its first use (which has several side-effects such as adding DOM elements):

import "@melloware/coloris/dist/coloris.css";
import Coloris from "@melloware/coloris";
Coloris.init();
Coloris({el: "#coloris"});

Since default exports can be tricky, if this does not work with your bundler, use named imports instead:

import "@melloware/coloris/dist/coloris.css";
import { coloris, init } from "@melloware/coloris";
init();
coloris({el: "#coloris"});

AMD

The color picker also works with AMD / require.js:

requirejs(['path/to/coloris'], function (Coloris) {
  Coloris.init();
  Coloris({
    el: "#coloris",
  });
});

Java / Maven

The colorpicker can also be downloaded from Maven Central as a Java JAR for use in Java web applicatons:

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.webjars.npm</groupId>
   <artifactId>melloware__coloris</artifactId>
   <version>...</version>
</dependency>

TypeScript

This package includes TypeScript declarations. When you use it in a module environment, just import it:

import "@melloware/coloris/dist/coloris.css";
import * as Color from "@melloware/coloris";

Coloris.init();
Coloris.coloris({el: "#coloris"});
Coloris.close();

If you have allowSyntheticDefaultImports enabled, you could also use:

import "@melloware/coloris/dist/coloris.css";
import Coloris from "@melloware/coloris";

Coloris.init();
Coloris({el: "#coloris"});
Coloris.close();

If you wish to write a global script file, use a triple slash reference:

/// <reference types="@melloware/coloris" />
Coloris({
    el: "#coloris",
});

Building from source

First of all, again, please note that this is a fork of the original repo!

Clone the git repo:

git clone git@github.com:melloware/coloris-npm

Enter the Coloris directory and install the development dependencies:

cd coloris-npm && npm install

Run the build script:

npm run build

The built version will be in the dist directory in both minified and full copies.

Alternatively, you can start a gulp watch task to automatically build when the source files are modified:

npm run start

Publishing

Adjust the version in the package.json if necessary, then

npm login
# This will run npm run build automatically
npm publish --access public

Then upload code to github, create tag & release.
