Color palette

JointJS+ provides a ColorPalette plugin that enables the ability to display dropdowns with a color palette.

Installation

Access ColorPalette via the ui namespace, and create an instance. Then render and append the generated HTML element anywhere in your DOM.

import { ui } from '@joint/plus';

const colorPalette = new ui.ColorPalette({
    options: [
	{ content: '#000000' },
	{ content: '#FFFFFF' },
	{ content: 'transparent', icon: 'data:image/png;base64,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' },

How does ColorPalette work?

ColorPalette is a UI widget for displaying dropdowns with a color palette. You can pass various options to the ColorPalette constructor. You might notice that many of the options are similar to the ui.SelectBox widget. This is because ui.ColorPalette inherits from this widget. The color palette instance triggers various events that you can react to. Events can be handled by using the on() method

ColorPalette example

The following example creates an instance of ColorPalette. The color palette is then rendered using the render() method, and the generated HTML element el is then appended to the DOM. After the user opens the dropdown, information about the options is outputted in the console upon hover and selection.
