  renderSwatches = () => {
    const { colors } = this.state;

    return colors.map((color, id) => {
      return (
        <div
          key={id}
          style={{
            backgroundColor: color,
            width: 100,
            height: 100,
          }}
        />
      );
    });
  };

  getColors = (colors) =>
    this.setState((state) => ({ colors: [...state.colors, ...colors] }));

  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <ColorExtractor getColors={this.getColors}>
          <img
            src="https://i.imgur.com/OCyjHNF.jpg"
            style={{ width: 700, height: 500 }}
          />

            display: "flex",
            justifyContent: "center",

Usage

react-color-harvest can be used in two different ways.

• With image element as children

<ColorExtractor getColors={colors => console.log(colors)}>
  <img src="..." alt="..." style={{...}} />
</ColorExtractor>

Check out this example.

• Passing a local or remote image, or a blob url via src prop

<ColorExtractor
  src="<local-or-remote-image-url-or-blob-url>"
  getColors={(colors) => console.log(colors)}
/>

Check out this example.

Using remote images

In development, make sure that you've configured proxy settings in your server config when you are using the remote images, otherwise you might run into CORS issue. You can also use this chrome extension to tackle CORS issue.

API

<ColorExtractor /> props

getColors

(colors: Array<Array<number> | string>) => void

getColors callback is invoked with an array of colors, either in hex or rgb format once the image is done processing. Use this callback to update the state with the colors array

<ColorExtractor getColors={(colors) => this.setState({ colors: colors })} />

rgb

type: boolean

When set to true, produces the color in rgb format. By default, colors produced are in hex format

<ColorExtractor rgb getColors={(colors) => console.log(colors)} />

This will log colors in rgb format

onError

(error: Object) => void

onError callback is invoked if there is any issue with processing the image.

<ColorExtractor onError={error => this.setState({ hasError: true , msg: error })}>

src

type: string

src prop accepts a remote or local image url, or a blob url.

<ColorExtractor
  src="https://i.imgur.com/OCyjHNF.jpg"
  getColors={(colors) => console.log(colors)}
/>

maxColors

type: number

maxColors prop accepts a number for amount of colors in palette from which swatches will be generated.
