Overview

The Devlander Colors package provides a collection of color utilities for JavaScript, including color pickers, color schemes, and palette generation. It's used across various projects to manage and utilize color schemes effectively.

Installation

You can install the package using either Yarn or npm:

yarn add @devlander/colors

or

npm install @devlander/colors

Usage

To use the main package, you can import the Color class and other utilities as follows:

import { Color } from "@devlander/colors"

// Create a new color instance
const myColor = new Color('#3498db')

// Darken the color
const darkenedColor = myColor.darken(10).hex()
console.log(darkenedColor) // Output: a darkened hex color

// Lighten the color
const lightenedColor = myColor.lighten(10).hex()
console.log(lightenedColor) // Output: a lightened hex color

// Get the RGB string representation
console.log(myColor.rgb()) // Output: 'rgb(52, 152, 219)'

// Invert the color
const invertedColor = myColor.invert()
console.log(invertedColor) // Output: an inverted hex color

// Apply alpha to the color
const colorWithAlpha = myColor.alpha(0.5)
console.log(colorWithAlpha) // Output: hex color with applied alpha

// Blend with another color
const secondaryColor = { r: 255, g: 0, b: 0 } // Red color
const blendedColor = myColor.blend(50, secondaryColor).hex()
console.log(blendedColor) // Output: a blended hex color
