ChromaColorPicker 🎨
An intuitive iOS color picker built in Swift.
Supports hue and grayscale modes to make choosing the right color easy and fun!
Installation
Carthage
github "joncardasis/ChromaColorPicker"
Cocoapods
pod 'ChromaColorPicker'
Manually
Add all files from the ChromaColorPicker folder to your project.
Examples
let neatColorPicker = ChromaColorPicker(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 300, height: 300))
neatColorPicker.delegate = self //ChromaColorPickerDelegate
neatColorPicker.padding = 5
neatColorPicker.stroke = 3
neatColorPicker.hexLabel.textColor = UIColor.white
view.addSubview(neatColorPicker)
If the ChromaColorPicker or any of its properties are later updated after being added to a view, the layout()
function should be called to update the view.
let neatColorPicker = ChromaColorPicker(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 300, height: 300))
view.addSubview(neatColorPicker)
neatColorPicker.padding = 0
neatColorPicker.hexLabel.hidden = true
neatColorPicker.layout()
You can also set the color of the picker anytime by using the adjustToColor(color:)
function.
let neatColorPicker = ChromaColorPicker(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 300, height: 300))
...
neatColorPicker.adjustToColor(UIColor.green)
...
Enable Grayscale Support
A toggle button can be enabled/disabled to allow for grayscale selections by using the supportsShadesOfGray
property.
let neatColorPicker = ChromaColorPicker(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 300, height: 300))
...
neatColorPicker.supportsShadesOfGray = true // Normally false be default
