Open method

[Mashiane]

Hi, can you please expose the "open" method just like the close method so that one can call it directly.

I am trying this out with Ionic and its proving a little challenging with ion-input. I guess if it can be opened via e.g. a button click event, it could work.

Please.

@Mashiane here is what I do in PrimeFaces with Coloris to open it.

/**
     * Shows the popup panel.
     */
    show: function() {
        if (this.input) {
            this.input.trigger('click');
        }
    },

Basically just "click" on your input. Note: I am using jQuery above but you get the idea.

Hi @Mashiane, there is no way to open the color picker without it being bound to an input element.

An ion-input is just a wrapper around a label element and an input element, so the color picker should work if you provide the correct CSS selector to the el property when initialiazing. Here is an example:

<ion-input label="My color field" class="coloris"></ion-input>

Coloris({
  el: '.coloris input' // Target the input field inside the ion-input component
});

I'm closing this for lack of activity. Feel free to reopen if the issue persists.
