Installation

npm i --save @rpearce/hex

This library's compilation target is ES2022, but it only uses features from ES2017 and below. If you find you need to support older environments, run this project through your build system.

Usage

import { rgbaToHex } from '@rpearce/hex'

rgbaToHex([]) // '#000000ff'
rgbaToHex([ 120, 55, 168 ]) // '#7837a8ff'
rgbaToHex([ 120, 55, 168, 1 ]) // '#7837a8ff'
rgbaToHex([ 120, 55, 168, 0.5 ]) // '#7837a87f'
rgbaToHex([ 120, 55, 168, 0 ]) // '#7837a800'

`blend`

Blend together two R, G or B (red, green or blue) color numbers.

interface Blend {
  (x: number, y: number, n?: number): number
}

import { blend } from '@rpearce/hex'

blend(120, 255, 0) // 120
blend(120, 255, 1) // 255
blend(120, 255, 0.7) // 223
blend(120, 0, 0.7) // 66
blend(120, 127, 0.5) // 124

`blendAlpha`

Blend together two alpha values.

interface BlendAlpha {
  (x: number, y: number, n?: number): number
}

import { blendAlpha } from '@rpearce/hex'

blendAlpha(0.1, 0.9, 0) // 0.1
blendAlpha(0.1, 0.9, 1) // 0.9
blendAlpha(0.1, 1, 0.7) // 0.73
blendAlpha(0.4, 0, 0.7) // 0.12

blendAlpha(0, 1, 0.5) // 0.5

`hexBlend`

Blend two hexadecimal color values together, shifting from one color to the next via a fraction between 0 and 1. Hexadecimal equivalent to rgbaCssBlend.

interface HexBlend {

}

import { hexBlend } from '@rpearce/hex'

hexBlend('#7837A8', '#FFF', 0) // '#7837a8'
hexBlend('#7837A8', '#FFF', 1) // '#ffffff'
hexBlend('#7837A8', '#FFF', 0.7) // '#dfd7e8'
hexBlend('#7837A8', '#000', 0.7) // '#421e5c'
hexBlend('#7837A8', '#ff6602', 0.5) // '#c75277'
hexBlend('#7837A880', '#FFF', 0.7) // '#dfd7e8d8'

hexToRgba('0099ff80') // [ 0, 153, 255, 0.5 ]
hexToRgba('#0099ff80') // [ 0, 153, 255, 0.5 ]

// hex-6
hexToRgba('0099ff') // [ 0, 153, 255, 1 ]
hexToRgba('#0099ff') // [ 0, 153, 255, 1 ]

// hex-4
hexToRgba('09f9') // [ 0, 153, 255, 0.6 ]
hexToRgba('#09f9') // [ 0, 153, 255, 0.6 ]

// hex-3
hexToRgba('09f') // [ 0, 153, 255, 1 ]
hexToRgba('#09f') // [ 0, 153, 255, 1 ]

hexToRgbaCss('#0099ff') // 'rgba(0,153,255,1)'
hexToRgbaCss('#0099ff', 0.2) // 'rgba(0,153,255,0.2)'

// hex-4
hexToRgbaCss('09f9') // 'rgba(0,153,255,0.6)'
hexToRgbaCss('#09f9') // 'rgba(0,153,255,0.6)'
hexToRgbaCss('#09f9', 0.12) // 'rgba(0,153,255,0.12)'

rgbaCssToHex('rgba(120, 55, 168, 0.5)') // '#7837a87f'
rgbaCssToHex('rgba(120, 55, 168, 0.3)') // '#7837a84c'

`rgbaToHex`

Convert an array of RGBa values to hexadecimal.

interface RgbaToHex {
  (rgba?: [number?, number?, number?, number?] | []): string
}

import { rgbaToHex } from '@rpearce/hex'

rgbaToHex([]) // '#000000ff'
rgbaToHex([ 120, 55, 168 ]) // '#7837a8ff'
rgbaToHex([ 120, 55, 168, 1 ]) // '#7837a8ff'
rgbaToHex([ 120, 55, 168, 0.5 ]) // '#7837a87f'
rgbaToHex([ 120, 55, 168, 0 ]) // '#7837a800'

`rgbaToRgbaCss`

Convert an array of RGBa values to rgba().

interface RgbaToRgbaCss {
  (rgba?: [number?, number?, number?, number?] | []): string
}

import { rgbaToRgbaCss } from '@rpearce/hex'

rgbaToRgbaCss([]) // 'rgba(0,0,0,1)'
rgbaToRgbaCss([  120, 55, 168  ]) // 'rgba(120,55,168,1)'
rgbaToRgbaCss([  120, 55, 168, 1 ]) // 'rgba(120,55,168,1)'
