@types/color-name is a TypeScript type definition package for the color-name library. The color-name library provides a mapping of color names to their RGB values. This package allows TypeScript developers to use the color-name library with type safety.
What are @types/color-name's main functionalities?
Color Name to RGB Mapping
This feature allows you to get the RGB values of a color by its name. For example, you can get the RGB values for 'red' which are [255, 0, 0].
const colorName = require('color-name');
const redRGB = colorName.red;
console.log(redRGB); // Output: [255, 0, 0]
Type Safety with TypeScript
This feature provides type definitions for the color-name library, ensuring type safety when using TypeScript. For example, you can get the RGB values for 'blue' with type safety.
import colorName from 'color-name';
const blueRGB: [number, number, number] = colorName.blue;
console.log(blueRGB); // Output: [0, 0, 255]
