@hydroperx/colorobserver

Simple TypeScript utility that detects the computed character color (the CSS color property) in an element, checking for mouse and focus events across all parents.

This is useful for icons that adapt to light and dark themes.

Example

import { ColorObserver } from "@hydroperx/colorobserver";
import { useEffect, useRef } from "react";

const ref = useRef<HTMLDivElement | null>(null);

useEffect(() => {
    // color observer
    const color_observer = new ColorObserver(ref.current, color => {
        console.log("light =", color.isLight());
    });

    // cleanup function
    return () => {
        color_observer.cleanup();
    };
}, []);
