README

Bootstrap Colorpicker is a modular color picker plugin for Bootstrap 4.

THIS PROJECT IS NOT MAINTAINED ANYMORE. After almost 10 years, it won't receive any further update. I recommend you using more modern solutions like React Color. You are still free to adapt this project and create forks and variants of it.

Install

You can get the latest version in many different ways:

Downloading the tarball from npm the registry: https://registry.npmjs.org/bootstrap-colorpicker/-/bootstrap-colorpicker-3.4.0.tgz (you can change the version in the url to any released tag)
Cloning using Git: git clone https://github.com/itsjavi/bootstrap-colorpicker.git
Installing via NPM: npm install bootstrap-colorpicker
Installing via Yarn: yarn add bootstrap-colorpicker
Installing via Composer: composer require itsjavi/bootstrap-colorpicker

Note that the dist files are only distributed via the NPM and Yarn installations.

For the rest methods, you will need to generate the files initializing the project with yarn install and then building the code using npm run build.

Versions

Colorpicker version	Compatible Bootstrap version	Dependencies
v2.x Documentation	Bootstrap 3 or 4	jQuery >= 1.10 Bootstrap CSS (input addon)
v3.x Documentation	Bootstrap 4 or without Bootstrap	jQuery >= 2.1.0 Bootstrap CSS (input addon, popover) Bootstrap JS Bundle (popover)

Note that the plugin may work without Bootstrap if your code is not using any of the mentioned Bootstrap dependencies.

Examples

With Bootstrap

The Bootstrap JS dependency is optional and it is mainly needed for the popover support. No Bootstrap CSS is required for the plugin to work.

    $(function () {
      // Basic instantiation:
      $('#demo-input').colorpicker();
      
      // Example using an event, to change the color of the #demo div background:
      $('#demo-input').on('colorpickerChange', function(event) {
        $('#demo').css('background-color', event.color.toString());
      });
    });
  </script>
</body>

Without Bootstrap

To use the plugin without Bootstrap, the popover option should be set to false or null and, depending on your implementation, you will usually need to set inline to true and a container selector option.

  </div>
  <script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-3.4.1.js"></script>
  <script src="dist/js/bootstrap-colorpicker.js"></script>
  <script>
    $(function() {
      $('#demo').colorpicker({
        popover: false,
        inline: true,
        container: '#demo'
      });
    });
  </script>
</body>
