Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Get dominant color and palette of colors from an image

Readme

Dominant Color

This is a JavaScript library that allows you to extract the dominant color from images. It provides an easy-to-use interface to get started quickly.

Installation

To install the library, use the following command:

npm i @rtcoder/dominant-color

Usage

Import the getDominantColor function from @rtcoder/dominant-color in your JavaScript file:

import { getDominantColor } from "@rtcoder/dominant-color";

Select an image element from your HTML:

const img = document.querySelector('img');

Call the getDominantColor function with the image element and configuration options:

getDominantColor(img, {
    downScaleFactor: 1,
    skipPixels: 0,
    colorsPaletteLength: 5,
    paletteWithCountOfOccurrences: false,
    colorFormat: 'rgb',
    callback: (color, palette) => {
        // Your code here
    }
});

Configuration Options

The getDominantColor function accepts the following configuration options:

| Name | Type | Default Value | Description | | --------------------------- | -------- | ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | | downScaleFactor | number | 1 | Factor of scale down for the image. Recommended for large images. | | skipPixels | number | 0 | Skips every n pixels while determining the dominant color. Recommended for large images. | | colorsPaletteLength | number | 5 | Length of the returned color palette. | | paletteWithCountOfOccurrences | boolean | false | Determines whether to return colors with the number of occurrences. | | colorFormat | string | 'rgb' | Defines the format of the returned colors. Available values are 'rgb', 'hsl', and 'hex'. | | callback | function | [empty function] | Callback function that receives the dominant color and the colors palette. |

Interfaces

The library provides the following interfaces for type checking:

type ColorFormat = 'rgb' | 'hsl' | 'hex';

interface PrimaryColor {
  color: string;
  count: number;
}

interface DominantColorOptions {
  downScaleFactor: number;
  skipPixels: number;
  colorsPaletteLength: number;
  paletteWithCountOfOccurrences: boolean;
  colorFormat: ColorFormat;
  callback: DominantColorCallback;
}

type DominantColorCallback = (dominant: string, colorsPalette: string[] | PrimaryColor[]) => void;

function getDominantColor(element: HTMLImageElement, options: Partial<DominantColorOptions>): void;

Feel free to explore and utilize these interfaces for better code development.

Remember to replace your code here in the usage example with your own code to handle the dominant color and colors palette.
