`color-contrast-table`

This packages uses my other color contrast helper and requires a prop of colors of the shape specified there - an array of color value strings, or an array of objects containing {name, value}.

Styles

useStyles prop can turn on my opinionated styles. They can be used, or not, but either way the table can be styled or overridden using BEM syntax CSS classes.

Live Editing

A prop of editNames or editValues can be passed to the <ColorContrastChart/> component to allow either the color name, color value, or both to be edited on the page. These will be stored in local state until the page is refreshed, contrast scores will update in real time.

If you wish to override the state local to the <ColorContrastChart/>, custom functions for onNamesChange and onValuesChange can be passed in via props with those same names. These functions can do whatever you want, ie - save a new value elsewhere in your app and update the array passed via the colors prop.

If you want to do something sparingly, like update an external database or something, you can pass a prop for onInputBlur which will fire an event whenever a user exits either type of input.
