What is @types/chroma-js?
@types/chroma-js provides TypeScript type definitions for the chroma-js library, which is a JavaScript library for color conversions and color scales.
What are @types/chroma-js's main functionalities?
Color Conversion
This feature allows you to convert colors between different formats. In this example, the color 'red' is converted to its RGB representation.
const chroma = require('chroma-js');
const rgb = chroma('red').rgb();
console.log(rgb); // [255, 0, 0]
Color Scales
This feature allows you to create color scales. In this example, a scale from white to black is created and the color at the midpoint (0.5) is retrieved in hex format.
const chroma = require('chroma-js');
const scale = chroma.scale(['white', 'black']).mode('lab');
console.log(scale(0.5).hex()); // #777777
Color Manipulation
This feature allows you to manipulate colors. In this example, the color 'red' is darkened and the resulting color is retrieved in hex format.
const chroma = require('chroma-js');
const darkened = chroma('red').darken().hex();
console.log(darkened); // #8b0000
Color Blending
This feature allows you to blend two colors using different blending modes. In this example, 'red' and 'blue' are blended using the 'multiply' mode.
const chroma = require('chroma-js');
const blended = chroma.blend('red', 'blue', 'multiply').hex();
console.log(blended); // #000080
Other packages similar to @types/chroma-js
color
The 'color' package is a JavaScript library for color conversions and manipulations. It provides similar functionalities to chroma-js, such as color parsing, conversion, and manipulation, but it does not focus on color scales.
tinycolor2
The 'tinycolor2' package is another JavaScript library for color manipulation and conversion. It offers a wide range of color operations and is known for its small size and ease of use. It is similar to chroma-js but does not provide as extensive support for color scales.
d3-color
The 'd3-color' package is part of the D3.js library and provides color manipulation and conversion functionalities. It is similar to chroma-js in terms of color operations but is more integrated into the D3 ecosystem for data visualization.
