smart-colors custom element

Material Colors Web Component

We will show you how to define a Custom Element with the Smart Framework. We will create a Material Color Picker custom element. The source code about it is within the smart.colors.js file. The minified version of the source code is smart.colors.min.js

1. Define the Custom Element. To define a new custom element with Smart Framework, we need to call the Smart function with two parameters - the tag name and the Class with the logic.

Smart('smart-colors', class SmartColors extends Smart.BaseElement {  
}

1. Smart Framework gives us useful things like Templates, Data Binding, Typed Properties, Lifecycle callbacks, Event Handling. Read more about this https://www.htmlelements.com/docs/base-element/. In our Custom Element, we will use some of these features. We will use the 'ready' lifecycle callback. It is invoked once, when the element is attached for first time. We use this function to create and initialize the custom element. The 'properties' definition includes a property called 'color'. This property has default value - '#fff' and its type is 'string'. This means that when you try to set a 'bool', 'date', 'numeric' value, the element will throw an error with 'Invalid property type'. To raise the 'change' event, we use the '$.fireEvent' method.
   
   
   
2. The full code of our custom element is below

  // Define Custom Element
Smart('smart-colors', class SmartColors extends Smart.BaseElement {  
  // Declare properties
  static get properties() {  
    return {
      'color': 
        {
           value: '#fff',
           type: 'string'
        }
    };
  }
   
  // Ready is called when the element is in the DOM.
  ready () {
    const that = this;
    
    that._renderGrid();
    that._addHandlers();
  }
   
  // Renders the Color Panel.
  _renderGrid() {
    const that = this;
    const labelsAndPaletteContainer = document.createElement('div');

    that._renderShades();
    that._renderColorPalette();
    that._renderColorLabels();

    labelsAndPaletteContainer.classList = 'smart-labels-and-palette'
    labelsAndPaletteContainer.appendChild(that._colorLabelsContainer);
    labelsAndPaletteContainer.appendChild(that._paletteContainer);
    that.appendChild(labelsAndPaletteContainer);
  }
 
  // Rneders all colors.
  _renderColorPalette() {
    const that = this;
