@ctrl/tinycolor

What is @ctrl/tinycolor?

The @ctrl/tinycolor npm package is a comprehensive tool for color manipulation and conversion. It allows users to perform a variety of operations on colors, including parsing colors in different formats, converting between color models (e.g., RGB, HSL, HSV), and manipulating colors (e.g., lighten, darken, saturate).

What are @ctrl/tinycolor's main functionalities?

Color Parsing

This feature allows the parsing of colors from strings in various formats, including HEX, RGB, RGBA, HSL, HSLA, etc. The code sample demonstrates how to parse a color from a HEX string and an RGBA string.

"const tinycolor = require('@ctrl/tinycolor');\nconst color1 = tinycolor('#f00');\nconst color2 = tinycolor('rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.5)');"

Color Conversion

This feature enables the conversion of colors between different models and formats. The code sample shows how to convert a named color ('red') to its HSV representation and then to an RGB string.

"const tinycolor = require('@ctrl/tinycolor');\nconst color = tinycolor('red');\nconst hsvColor = color.toHsv();\nconst rgbString = color.toRgbString();"

Color Manipulation

This feature provides methods to manipulate colors, such as lightening, darkening, and desaturating. The code sample demonstrates how to lighten and desaturate a color.

"const tinycolor = require('@ctrl/tinycolor');\nconst color = tinycolor('red');\nconst lighterColor = color.lighten().toString();\nconst desaturatedColor = color.desaturate().toString();"
