Compatibility: IE9+
Usage
Installation:
npm install @biffud/random-bg-colorScript:
// ES6+
import { setRandomBgColor } from '@biffud/random-bg-color'
// ES5 / AMD / CommonJS
var setRandomBgColor = require('@biffud/random-bg-color')<!-- usage with CDN -->
<!-- exported on the BIFFUD global object -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/@biffud/random-bg-color@1.0.0/src/index.js"></script>
<script>
BIFFUD.setRandomBgColor()
</script>Options
Set the background color of elements other than the document body
// Give it a valid CSS selector
setRandomBgColor('h1')
// Complex selectors work too; anything that document.querySelectorAll() accepts
setRandomBgColor('.some-element > p.nested-child:first-child')
// You can also pass in a reference to an element directly
const el = document.createElement('div')
setRandomBgColor(el)Prevent animated transitions
Pass in an object to the second argument like this:
setRandomBgColor(null, { disallowTransition: true })How to deal with color contrast
By default we don't adjust text color of the element. This is because you might have child elements that contain different types of content and you might want finer-grained control. To help you do this, we add the data-dark-mode data attribute to the element. It looks like this:
<body style="transition: background-color 120ms ease 0s; background-color: rgb(0, 156, 155);" data-dark-mode="true">You can then style it like this:
body[data-dark-mode="true"] {
color: white;
}Automatically adjust text contrast
If you want us to do this automatically, there is an option that will add the color style as well.
setRandomBgColor(null, { autoTextContrast: true })The behavior of this is to set the color style of the same element where the background-color is changing. It will assume white on dark colors and black on light colors. f you use this option you may want to set the color: inherit CSS property of child elements to make sure that they pick up changes to the text color.
Override transition style
This isn't a setting. Change it via CSS instead.
body {
transition: background-color 500ms ease-in-out !important;
}
