Installation

You can install ignix-colorkit via npm:

npm install ignix-colorkit

Usage

Import the Color class from ignix-colorkit:

import Color from "ignix-colorkit";

// Example usage:
const color = new Color("#ff5566");
const formattedHSL = color.hsl();
console.log(formattedHSL); // hsl(354, 100%, 67%)

Create a new Color Object and pass the desired color

Features

• Create color objects from various formats: hexcode, RGB, and HSL.
• Manipulate colors easily by adjusting hue, saturation, lightness, and more.
• Set various parameters of a color such as hue, saturation, lightness and others to any desired value.
• Format colors into HSL and RGB representations.

Various Ways to Create a Color

Using the default color.

// Default Color is White
const color = new Color();
conosole.log(color); // {r:255,g:255,b:255,h:0,s:100,l:100}

Creating a new color using a hexcode.

const hexColor = new Color("#ff0050");
conosole.log(hexColor); // {r:255,g:0,b:80,h:341,s:100,l:50}

Creating a new color using a hsl format.

const hslColor = new Color("hsl(136, 100%, 50%)");
conosole.log(hslColor); // {r:0,g:255,b:68,h:136,s:100,l:50}

Creating a new color using a rgb format.

const rgbColor = new Color("rgb(136, 100, 250)");
conosole.log(rgbColor); // {r:136,g:100,b:250,h:254,s:94,l:69}

Creating a new color using a color object. This means Color class also accepts an object as long as it contains the complete set of either HSL or RGB values.

const color = new Color("rgb(136, 200, 250)");
conosole.log(rgbColor); // {r:136,g:200,b:250,h:206,s:92,l:76}

const newColor = new Color(color);
console.log(newColor); // {r:136,g:200,b:250,h:206,s:92,l:76}

Set Color Parameters

ignix-colorkit provides many methods to set a particular parameter of a color to any desired value. These methods can be accessed through the Color objects.

Setting the value of hue

To change the hue of a color, just call the 'setHue()' method on the color object and pass the new value of the hue.

const color = new Color("rgb(20, 150, 250)"); // {"r":20,"g":150,"b":250,"h":206,"s":96,"l":53}
console.log(color.setHue(60)); // {"r":250,"g":250,"b":20,"h":60,"s":96,"l":53}

List of all available Set Functions

| Method | Description | | ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | setHue | Sets the hue of the color to a desired value.Parameters: value | | setSaturation | Sets the saturation of the color to a desired value.Parameters: value | | setLightness | Sets the lightness of the color to a desired value.Parameters: value | | setRed | Sets the red of the color to a desired value.Parameters: value | | setGreen | Sets the green of the color to a desired value.Parameters: value | | setBlue | Sets the blue of the color to a desired value.Parameters: value | | grayscale | Returns a grayscaled version of the desired color.Parameters: none | | complement | Returns a inverted version of the desired color.Parameters: none |

Adjust or Modify Color Parameters

ignix-colorkit provides many methods to adjust a particular parameter of a color by any desired value. These methods can be accessed through the Color objects.

Adjusting the value of hue

To adjust the hue of a color, just call the 'adjustHue()' method on the color object and pass the value by which the hue needs to be adjusted.

const color = new Color("rgb(20, 150, 250)"); // {"r":20,"g":150,"b":250,"h":206,"s":96,"l":53}
console.log(color.adjustHue(20)); // {"r":20,"g":74,"b":250,"h":226,"s":96,"l":53}

List of all available Manipulator Functions

| Method | Description | | ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | adjustHue | Adjusts the hue of the color by a given value.Parameters: value | | lighten | Increases the lightness of the color by a given value.Parameters: value | | darken | Decreases the lightness of the color by a given value.Parameters: value | | saturate | Increases the saturation of the color by a given value.Parameters: value | | desaturate | Decreases the saturation of the color by a given value.Parameters: value | | adjustRed | Adjusts the red of the color by a given value.Parameters: value | | adjustGreen | Adjusts the green of the color by a given value.Parameters: value | | adjustBlue | Adjusts the blue of the color by a given value.Parameters: value |

Various Color Formatter Functions

ignix-colorkit provides many methods to format a Color object to different color strings such as HSL, RGB. The opacity of a color can also be changed using the HSLA or RGBA methods.

const color = new Color("rgb(20, 150, 250)"); // {"r":20,"g":150,"b":250,"h":206,"s":96,"l":53}
console.log(color.adjustHue(20).hsl()); // hsl(226, 96%, 53%)
console.log(color.adjustHue(40).hsla(0.5)); // hsla(246, 96%, 53%, 0.5)
console.log(color.darken(20).rgb()); // rgb(3, 95, 165)
console.log(color.lighten(20).rgba(0.85)); // rgba(120, 195, 252, 0.85)
