@georapbox/eye-dropper-element NPM

<eye-dropper>

A custom element that implements the EyeDropper API that allows the user to select colors from the screen.

!IMPORTANT The EyeDropper API is still experimental and supported only on desktop Chromium based browsers. In not supported browsers, the color picker button will dispatch an event eye-dropper:error with an error message when clicked. You can check if the API is supported by using the a simple check like 'EyeDropper' in window to decide whether to show the color picker button or handle the error event.
