Components

ColorPicker

The component is a wrapper for any html block, to implement its own ColorPicker menu disclosure button.

type Props = {
  modelValue?: string;
  storageKey?: string;
  withAlpha?: boolean;
  withInitialColor?: boolean;
  withEyeDropper?: boolean;
  withHexInput?: boolean;
  withRgbInput?: boolean;
  withColorsHistory?: boolean | number;
  immediateEmit?: boolean;
};
type Emits = {
  (e: 'update:modelValue', v: string): void;
  (e: 'change', v: ModuleColorMultiType): void;
  (e: 'close'): void;
};
type Slot = {
  color: Ref<string | undefined>;
  hide: () => void;
  show: (event: MouseEvent) => void;
};

<script lang="ts" setup>
  const refVariable = ref('#000');
</script>

<template>
  <color-picker
    v-model="refVariable"
    v-slot="{ color, show }"
    @change="console.log('New color:', $event)"
    @close="console.log('ColorPicker is closed')"
  >
    Current color: {{ color }}
    <button @click="show">OPEN</button>
  </color-picker>
</template>

ColorPickerBlock

The component is the main block of the Color Picker. It is always open and can be integrated as a block, anywhere in the application.

type Props = {
  modelValue?: string;
  storageKey?: string;
  withAlpha?: boolean;
  withInitialColor?: boolean;
  withEyeDropper?: boolean;
  withHexInput?: boolean;
  withRgbInput?: boolean;
  withColorsHistory?: boolean | number;
  immediateEmit?: boolean;
};
type Emits = {
  (e: 'update:modelValue', v: string): void;
  (e: 'change', v: ModuleColorMultiType): void;
};

<script lang="ts" setup>
  const refVariable = ref('#000');
</script>

<template>
  Current color: {{ refVariable }}
  <color-picker-block
    v-model="refVariable"
    @change="console.log('New color:', $event)"
  />
</template>
