Text Color Picker Tool for Editor.js 2.0

Color Picker Tool for Editor.js

video.mov

Installation

Get the package

yarn add editorjs-color-picker

Usage

Add a new Tool to the tools property of the Editor.js initial config.

import ColorPicker from 'editorjs-color-picker';

const editor = new EditorJS({
  ...

  tools: {
    ...
    ColorPicker: {
      class: ColorPicker,
    },
  }

  ...
});

If you don't want the text to retain its colors every time you copy and paste it into the editor, you can use the ColorPickerWithoutSanitize class.

import { ColorPickerWithoutSanitize } from 'editorjs-color-picker';

const editor = new EditorJS({
  ...

  tools: {
    ...
    ColorPicker: {
      class: ColorPickerWithoutSanitize,
    },
  }

  ...
});

Config Params

The Paragraph Tool supports these configuration parameters:

Field	Type	Description
colors	string[]	(there are default colors) Array of colors you want
columns	number	(default: 7) Number of columns to display

Issues with Copy and Paste

If you copy and paste text with a different background color, it adopts the style of the <span>.
The only solution I’ve found so far, without modifying the paragraph component and its onPaste handler, is to apply this style.
For now, I’m only attaching it here without adding it to the library, as it might interfere with other plugins.
So, anyone interested should try applying this style:

.ce-paragraph span {
  background-color: unset !important;
}

If anyone finds a more elegant solution, can open a PR, and we’ll fix it.
