css-filter-converter.macro v0.0.2

css-filter-converter.macro

Convert basic CSS color formats to CSS filter.

This is a wrapper around css-filter-converter, with a few changes:

• Only runs once, at build-time.
• There's only one exported function that handles HEX, RGB, HSL, and keywords.

Live demo: https://cssfilterconverter.com

Throws MacroError if the provided color could not be parsed.

Prerequisites

• babel-plugin-macros

Docs: https://github.com/kentcdodds/babel-plugin-macros/blob/main/other/docs/user.md. Also, it comes bundled with Create React App.

Example usage

const filter = colorToFilter`#377bb3`;

element.style.filter = filter.color; // brightness(0) saturate(100%) invert(39%) sepia(63%) saturate(480%) hue-rotate(164deg) brightness(100%) contrast(93%)

// Also valid:
colorToFilter`rgb(106, 161, 225)`;
colorToFilter`hsl(212deg, 66%, 65%)`;
colorToFilter`blue`;

Limitations of this macro

• Does not support converting back from a CSS filter to a color (not for long, though)

Limitations of css-filter-converter

• Sometimes the loss of the returned CSS filter can be too high. This macro in the future should have an option to retry conversion until loss is under 1.
