ColorPicker#

The ColorPicker component provides a system color picker UI that allows users to select a color and passes the selected color back to the application via the onChanged event. It supports the following formats for colors:

• Keyword colors (e.g., green, red, blue, etc.)
• Hexadecimal color strings (e.g., #FF5733 or #333)
• CSS rgba strings (e.g., rgba(255,0,0,1))

#ColorPickerProps

ColorPickerProps is the type of properties for the ColorPicker component. It can be defined in the following two ways:

#1. Using the title property

• title (string): Provides a title for the color picker, describing its purpose or offering guidance to the user.

#2. Using the children property

• children (VirtualNode | undefined | null | (VirtualNode | undefined | null)[] | VirtualNode): A custom view that describes the usage of the selected color. The system color picker UI will use the text of this view to set the title. If you don't use children, you can simply use title.

#Additional properties

• value (Color): The current selected color value. It can be a keyword color, hexadecimal color string, or RGBA string.

• onChanged ((value: Color) => void): A callback function triggered when the color changes. This callback is invoked with the new color value when the user selects a new color.

• supportsOpacity (boolean, optional): If set to true, allows the user to adjust the opacity of the selected color. The default is true.

#Example Code

import { useState } from 'scripting'
import { ColorPicker } from 'scripting'

const MyComponent = () => {
  const [color, setColor] = useState<Color>('#FF5733')

  return (
    <ColorPicker
      title="Pick a Color"
      value={color}
      onChanged={setColor}
    />
  )
}

#Explanation

In the example above:

• The ColorPicker component’s title is set to "Pick a Color", instructing the user to choose a color.
• The initial color value is #FF5733.
• The onChanged callback is triggered when the color changes, updating the color state.

#Optional Opacity Support

If you wish to allow adjusting the opacity of the selected color, you can enable this feature by setting the supportsOpacity property:

<ColorPicker
  title="Pick a Color"
  value={color}
  onChanged={setColor}
  supportsOpacity={true}
/>

#Color Type

The Color type is used to define various color formats, including:

• Keyword colors: such as "red", "green", "blue", etc.
• Hexadecimal strings: such as "#FF5733".
• CSS rgba strings: such as rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.5).

#Example

const color: Color = 'rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.5)'
