NPM
You can install ColorPicker through NPM:
$ npm install @thednp/color-picker
Browser Usage
Download the latest package. unpack and inspect the contents. You need to copy the color-picker.js and color-picker.css or their minified variations to your app assets folders as follows.
Link the required CSS in your document <head> tag
<link href="../assets/css/color-picker.css" rel="stylesheet" />Link the required JS in your document <body> tag, though it should work in the <head> as well
<script src="../assets/js/color-picker.js"></script>Now you can initialize the function for your elements at the end of your <body> tag
<script>
var myPicker = new ColorPicker('input.SELECTOR');
</script>To use the DATA-API, you can provide for instance the data-format="hex", and other specific attributes like so:
<label for="myPicker">Color Label</label>
<div class="color-picker">
<input
id="myPicker"
name="myPicker"
data-function="color-picker"
data-format="hex"
data-color-presets="red,green,blue"
class="color-preview"
value="#069"
/>
</div>The data-function="color-picker" attribute is useful for mass initialization, check this usage section of the wiki.
