Installation
npm i --save color2k
If you need to server-side render any colors, you also need to install the node/ssr compatibility package.
# only needed in SSR environments (e.g. gatsby, next.js)
npm i --save @color2k/nodeUsage
import { darken, transparentize } from 'color2k';
// e.g.
darken('blue', 0.1);
transparentize('red', 0.5);How so small?
There are two secrets that keep this lib especially small:
- defer to the browser to parse colors via canvas
- small API footprint 🤷♀️
