ReactJS ColorPicker Component

The ColorPicker component for ReactJS that allows you to easily pick a color. You can configure the ColorPicker's color mode, input a color in hex or RGB format.

Prerequisites

Refer to ReactJS Getting Started before you start with this help topic.

Configuration

The ColorPicker component for ReactJS requires the following imports.

 
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
 
import JqxColorPicker from 'jqwidgets-react/react_jqxcolorpicker.js';
 

Then we create our component class. Properties and methods are put as ReactJS props.

  
class App extends React.Component {
  render () {
    return (
        <JqxColorPicker 
            width={220} height={220} colorMode={"hue"}
        />
    )
  }
}
 

Finally we render our class in the desired HTML element:

 
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('app'));
 

Events Methods & Properties

In order to bind to any event, change any property or call any method, we need a reference to the component.
For that we use the ReactJS "ref" Callback Attribute:

 
<JqxColorPicker ref='myColorPicker' width={220} height={220}..... />
 

Now, when we have a reference, we need to call the desired event/property/method.
This is done in the componentDidMount() ReactJS Component Lifecycle method.

 
class App extends React.Component {
  componentDidMount()
  {
     //your logic
  }
  render ()
  {
    return
    (
      ....
    )
  }
};
 

Events

The colorchange event is triggered when a new color is picked.

The following example demonstrates how to add an event listener:

 
componentDidMount ()
{
 
  this.refs.myColorPicker.on('colorchange', (event) =>
  {
     //your logic
  });
 
}
 

Methods & Properties

This is how you call methods & props:

 
//Get Methods
let color = this.refs.myColorPicker.getColor();
 
//Set Methods
this.refs.myColorPicker.setColor('#bbaaff');
 
//Get Properties
let height  = this.refs.myColorPicker.height();
 
//Set Properties
this.refs.myColorPicker.height(400);
 

Every component have a method setOptions which accepts a object as an argument. This object contains component settings.

Every component also have a method getOptions which returns a object containing the component settings.

 
let options = this.refs.myColorPicker.getOptions();
 

ColorPicker Examples

Overview

The following example demonstrates how to create a ColorPicker component.

 
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
 
import JqxColorPicker from 'jqwidgets-react/react_jqxcolorpicker.js';
 
class App extends React.Component {
  render () {
    return (
        <JqxColorPicker 
            width={220} height={220}
        />
    )
  }
}
 
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('app'));
 

Disabled ColorPicker

The following example demonstrates how to disable the ColorPicker component.

 
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
  
import JqxColorPicker from 'jqwidgets-react/react_jqxcolorpicker.js';
 
class App extends React.Component {
  render () {
    return (
        <JqxColorPicker 
            width={600} 
            height={100}
            disabled={true}
        />
    )
  }
}
 
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('app'));
