hi there,
great library!
if you are interested, i've quickly put together a custom element https://gist.github.com/lekoala/233b0c6246170716c52dbfab342caf22
Maybe @melloware would be interested since they maintain the NPM/Typescript fork.
by the way, the current api is not super friendly when you want to init each element on their own (i would rather have a new Coloris(myElem, options) type of api with maybe some kind of helper init function that loops over elements).
I created this color picker partly because every other one I could find did what you just described, and I didn't want that. If that's what you need I suggest you use a different color picker.
Also, you cannot have multiple visible inline elements due to the fact that there is only one picker. no big deal since i don't use them, but still something to keep in mind (and should maybe be added in the readme?).
The README does state that there is only one true instance of the color picker and therefore it's not possible to show multiple instances at the same time. I'll see if can make it even clear. Thanks for pointing it out.
ok thanks :)
i think both approaches are compatible: only one instance for a given set of options. that means the picker can be reused as much as possible. but restricting to only one true instance means that you cannot show both pickers, which kind of defeat the inline feature in my opinion (i don't use it, so i don't care, but still, it's a bit odd)
This an intentional design choice to keep the performance of the color picker in check. This is used in a web app among dozens of other UI tools, and keep in it as light as possible is my number one priority.
I too don't use the inline mode, but I agreed to add it because it doesn't cost me much in terms of performance.
Anyway, this tool does things in a certain way, and it either works for you or it doesn't. I'm not interested in discussing the merits of alternative approches :)
@lekoala I did something similar to wrap the component as a Java Server Faces component for PrimeFaces: https://github.com/primefaces/primefaces/blob/master/primefaces/src/main/resources/META-INF/resources/primefaces/colorpicker/1-colorpicker.js
I think we should just leave the current color picker as is and just use wrappers like we are doing. Safe to close this ticket.
