Status of this project

This project might continue to get important security- and bug-related updates but its feature set is frozen, and it's highly unlikely that it'll get new features or enhancements.

The reason behind this decision is the way this tool has been build (monolithic, the core is one single file, everything is in plain JS etc.) which makes it incredible hard to maintain, tests become impossible at this stage without a complete rewrite, and the fun is gone at such a level of cramped complexity.

Personally I recommend building these UI-Related "widgets" directly into the app with the framework you're using which takes more time but in return gives you full power of how it should work and look like. Frameworks such as (p)react, vue and svelte will make it a breeze to develop such things within a day.

Update

This project will be archived at the end of 2021! After this there will be no more bug / security fixes or feature requests.

Nano uses css-grid thus it won't work in older browsers.

Getting Started

Node

Note: The readme is always up-to-date with the latest commit. See Releases for installation instructions regarding to the latest version.

Install via npm:

$ npm install @simonwep/pickr

Install via yarn:

$ yarn add @simonwep/pickr

Include code and style:

// One of the following themes
import '@simonwep/pickr/dist/themes/classic.min.css';   // 'classic' theme
import '@simonwep/pickr/dist/themes/monolith.min.css';  // 'monolith' theme
import '@simonwep/pickr/dist/themes/nano.min.css';      // 'nano' theme

// Modern or es5 bundle (pay attention to the note below!)
import Pickr from '@simonwep/pickr';
import Pickr from '@simonwep/pickr/dist/pickr.es5.min';

Attention: The es5-bundle (e.g. legacy version) is quite big (around a triple of the modern bundle). Please take into consideration to use the modern version and add polyfills later to your final bundle! (Or better: give a hint to users that they should use the latest browsers). Browsers such as IE are not supported (at least not officially).

Browser

jsdelivr:

<!-- One of the following themes -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@simonwep/pickr/dist/themes/classic.min.css"/> <!-- 'classic' theme -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@simonwep/pickr/dist/themes/monolith.min.css"/> <!-- 'monolith' theme -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@simonwep/pickr/dist/themes/nano.min.css"/> <!-- 'nano' theme -->

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@simonwep/pickr/dist/pickr.es5.min.js"></script>

Be sure to load the pickr.min.js (or the es5 version) after pickr.min.css. Moreover the script tag doesn't work with the defer attribute.

Usage

// Simple example, see optional options for more configuration.
const pickr = Pickr.create({
    el: '.color-picker',
    theme: 'classic', // or 'monolith', or 'nano'

    swatches: [
        'rgba(244, 67, 54, 1)',
        'rgba(233, 30, 99, 0.95)',
        'rgba(156, 39, 176, 0.9)',

Events

Since version 0.4.x Pickr is event-driven. Use the on(event, cb) and off(event, cb) functions to bind / unbind eventlistener.

EventDescriptionArguments
initInitialization done - pickr can be usedPickrInstance
hidePickr got closedPickrInstance
showPickr got openedHSVaColorObject, PickrInstance
saveUser clicked the save / clear button. Also fired on clear with null as color.HSVaColorObject or null, PickrInstance
clearUser cleared the color.PickrInstance
changeColor has changed (but not saved). Also fired on swatchselectHSVaColorObject, eventSource, PickrInstance
changestopUser stopped to change the coloreventSource, PickrInstance
cancelUser clicked the cancel button (return to previous color).PickrInstance
swatchselectUser clicked one of the swatchesHSVaColorObject, PickrInstance

Example:

pickr.on('init', instance => {
    console.log('Event: "init"', instance);
}).on('hide', instance => {
    console.log('Event: "hide"', instance);
}).on('show', (color, instance) => {
    console.log('Event: "show"', color, instance);
}).on('save', (color, instance) => {
    console.log('Event: "save"', color, instance);
}).on('clear', instance => {
    console.log('Event: "clear"', instance);

    console.log('Event: "change"', color, source, instance);
}).on('changestop', (source, instance) => {
    console.log('Event: "changestop"', source, instance);
}).on('cancel', instance => {
    console.log('Event: "cancel"', instance);
}).on('swatchselect', (color, instance) => {
    console.log('Event: "swatchselect"', color, instance);
});

Selection through a Shadow-DOM

Example setup:

<div class="entry">
  #shadow-root
    <div class="innr">
       <div class="another">
         #shadow-root
           <div class="pickr"></div>
       </div>
    </div>
</div>

To select the .pickr element you can use the custom >> shadow-dom-selector in el:

el: '.entry >> .innr .another >> .pickr'

Every ShadowRoot of the query-result behind a >> gets used in the next query selection. An alternative would be to provide the target-element itself as el.

The HSVaColor object

As default color representation is hsva (hue, saturation, value and alpha) used, but you can also convert it to other formats as listed below.

  • hsva.toHSVA() - Converts the object to a hsva array.
  • hsva.toHSLA() - Converts the object to a hsla array.
  • hsva.toRGBA() - Converts the object to a rgba array.
  • hsva.toHEXA() - Converts the object to a hexa-decimal array.
  • hsva.toCMYK() - Converts the object to a cmyk array.
  • hsva.clone() - Clones the color object.

The toString() is overridden, so you can get a color representation string.

hsva.toRGBA(); // Returns [r, g, b, a]
hsva.toRGBA().toString(); // Returns rgba(r, g, b, a) with highest precision
hsva.toRGBA().toString(3); // Returns rgba(r, g, b, a), rounded to the third decimal

Methods

  • pickr.setHSVA(h:Number,s:Number,v:Number,a:Float, silent:Boolean) - Set an color, returns true if the color has been accepted.
  • pickr.setColor(str: :String | null, silent:Boolean):Boolean - Parses a string which represents a color (e.g. #fff, rgb(10, 156, 23)) or name e.g. 'magenta', returns true if the color has been accepted. null will clear the color.

If silent is true (Default is false), the button won't change the current color.

  • pickr.on(event:String, cb:Function):Pickr - Appends an event listener to the given corresponding event-name (see section Events).
  • pickr.off(event:String, cb:Function):Pickr - Removes an event listener from the given corresponding event-name (see section Events).
  • pickr.show():Pickr - Shows the color-picker.
  • pickr.hide():Pickr - Hides the color-picker.
  • pickr.disable():Pickr - Disables pickr and adds the disabled class to the button.
  • pickr.enable():Pickr - Enables pickr and removes the disabled class from the button.
  • pickr.isOpen():Pickr - Returns true if the color picker is currently open.
  • pickr.getRoot():Object - Returns the dom-tree of pickr as tree-structure.
  • pickr.getColor():HSVaColor - Returns the current HSVaColor object.
  • pickr.getSelectedColor():HSVaColor - Returns the currently applied color.
  • pickr.destroy() - Destroys all functionality.
  • pickr.destroyAndRemove() - Destroys all functionality and removes the pickr element including the button.
  • pickr.setColorRepresentation(type:String):Boolean - Change the current color-representation. Valid options are HEX, RGBA, HSVA, HSLA and CMYK, returns false if type was invalid.
  • pickr.getColorRepresentation():String - Returns the currently used color-representation (eg. HEXA, RGBA...)
  • pickr.applyColor(silent:Boolean):Pickr - Same as pressing the save button. If silent is true the onSave event won't be called.
  • pickr.addSwatch(color:String):Boolean - Adds a color to the swatch palette. Returns true if the color has been successful added to the palette.
  • pickr.removeSwatch(index:Number):Boolean- Removes a color from the swatch palette by its index, returns true if successful.

Static methods

Pickr

  • create(options:Object):Pickr - Creates a new instance.

Pickr.utils

  • once(element:HTMLElement, event:String, fn:Function, options :Object) - Attach an event handle which will be fired only once
  • on(elements:HTMLElement(s), events:String(s), fn:Function, options :Object) - Attach an event handler function.
  • off(elements:HTMLElement(s), event:String(s), fn:Function, options :Object) - Remove an event handler.
  • createElementFromString(html:String):HTMLElement - Creates an new HTML Element out of this string.
  • eventPath(evt:Event):[HTMLElement] - A polyfill for the event-path event propery.
  • createFromTemplate(str:String) - See inline doumentation.
  • resolveElement(val:String|HTMLElement) - Resolves a HTMLElement, supports >>> as shadow dom selector.
  • adjustableInputNumbers(el:InputElement, mapper:Function) - Creates the possibility to change the numbers in an inputfield via mouse scrolling. The mapper function takes three arguments: the matched number, an multiplier and the index of the match.

Use this utils carefully, it's not for sure that they will stay forever!

Static properties

  • version - The current version.
  • I18NDEFAULTS - i18n default values._
  • DEFAULTOPTIONS - Default options (Do not override this property itself, only change properties of it!)._

FAQ

How do I initialize multiple pickr's? Can I access the instance via class or id?

No, you can't. You need to keep track of your instance variables - pickr is (not yet) a web-component. The best option would be to create new elements via document.createElement and directly pass it as el. example.

I want to use pickr in a form, how can I do that?

You can use useAsButton: true and pass a reference (or selector) of your input-element as el. Then you can update the input-element whenever a change was made. example.

I want to update options after mounting pickr, is that possible?

Unfortunately not. The core-code of this project is rather old (over 2 years), and I made it in my early js-days - the widget is not able to dynamically re-render itself in that way. You have to destroy and re-initialize it.
