hex-to-rgba

hex-to-rgba turns an old-fashioned css hex color value string into an rgba() string.

Optionally pass in an alpha value. The passed alpha value will override any alpha value from 4- or 8-digit hexes. If you don't pass in an alpha value at all, we will default to an alpha value of 1 (completely opaque).

Supports 3-, 4-, 6- and 8-digit hex values with or without a leading hash.

Installation

$ npm install --save hex-to-rgba

$ yarn add hex-to-rgba
