Symfony Twig Extension CssColorFromString

The Twig CssColorFromString bundle extends Twig with a simple filter converting strings to a css color.

Quick Example

<div class="badge" style="color: #222; background-color: {{ tag|hex }};">{{ tag }}</div>

The hex filter converts the tag Standard to the css color #747F3F. The output will be

<div class="badge" style="color: #222; background-color: #747F3F;">Standard</div>

Extended Usage

Filter hex

The hex filter converts a string to a css color.

The same string will be converted every time in the same css color (similar like a hash value).

The optional parameter describe the saturation and lightness and can have values between 0 and 1. The example below uses a saturation of 0.5 and a lightness of 0.9. If no parameters are submitted 0.5 is used for each parameter.

<div class="badge" style="color: #222; background-color: {{ tag|hex(0.5, 0.9) }};">{{ tag }}</div>
