Spectra

A small Javascript library for quickly manipulating and converting colors.

Example

Spectra can be wrapped around many different types of objects to create a Spectra color that can be manipulated.

var color = Spectra({r: 255, g: 25, b: 75});
color.red() // 255

Motivation

The project was created to have a highly functional and lightweight way to deal with colors using Javascript, without any dependencies.

Installation

Simply download spectra.min.js and include it before your source files.

Bower

The bower package is at spectra-color.

bower install spectra-color

Node

This module also works with Node. Simply run npm install spectra and use var Spectra = require('spectra') to set it up.

API Reference

Tests

There are Jasmine tests included in the tests folder. Simply run grunt test from the root of the repository to run the tests. This also checks JSHint. Alternatively, run grunt to keep watch over source and test files, and automatically rerun the tests when the files change.

Coverage

Test coverage information can be generated by running grunt karma. Coverage information will be located in test/coverage after generation.

Building

To minify Spectra, run grunt build.
