eleventy-plugin-vibrant

Extract prominent colors from your Eleventy site's images.

Installation

Avaliable on npm:

npm install eleventy-plugin-vibrant --save-dev

Open up your Eleventy config file (probably .eleventy.js) and use addPlugin:

const pluginVibrant = require('eleventy-plugin-vibrant');
module.exports = function (eleventyConfig) {
  eleventyConfig.addPlugin(pluginVibrant);
};

This supplies the following asynchronous Nunjucks filter:

• vibrant(swatch): Extract prominent colors from the image at a given path.

Usage

In your Nunjucks templates:

<img src="{{ path }}" style="background: {{ path | vibrant('muted') }}">

Result:

<img src="/path/to/image.png" style="background: #ff0000" />

The vibrant filter transforms a string that points to an image and returns a hex color. Up to 6 color swatches are extracted from the image, and they can be selected by passing in the corresponding keywords to the filter.

The following color swatch types can be used:

• vibrant
• muted
• darkvibrant
• darkmuted
• lightvibrant
• lightmuted

Not every image returns all swatch types. A fallback list can be provided, and the first matching type will be used.

<img src="{{ path }}" style="background: {{ path | vibrant(['darkmuted', 'muted', 'lightmuted']) }}">
