    value='#000000'
    :presets="[]"
    format='hex'
    :showInput="true"
/>

Props

Prop	Type	Default	Description
`value`	string	`'#000000'`	Selected color value
`presets`	array	`[]`	Array of preset color options
`format`	string	`'hex'`	Color format: 'hex', 'rgb', 'hsl'
`showInput`	boolean	`true`	Show text input for manual entry

Configuration

Publish the config file:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=ld-color-picker-config

This will create a config/ld-color-picker.php file where you can customize default values.

Customization

Publishing Views

Customize the component appearance by publishing the views:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=ld-color-picker-views

Views will be published to resources/views/vendor/ld-color-picker/.

Styling

The component uses Tailwind CSS classes by default. You can customize styles by:

Publishing views and modifying the Blade templates
Using the class attribute to add custom classes
Overriding default styles in your CSS

<x-ld-color-picker class="custom-class" />

Events

The component dispatches Livewire events you can listen to:

Event	Payload	Description
`color-picker:updated`	Component data	Fired when state changes
`color-picker:initialized`	Initial data	Fired on component mount

// In your Livewire component
protected $listeners = ['color-picker:updated' => 'handleUpdate'];

public function handleUpdate($data)
{
    // Handle the update
}

Alpine.js Integration

The component works seamlessly with Alpine.js:

<div x-data="{ ' }} selected: null {{ ' }">
    <x-ld-color-picker x-model="selected" />
    <p x-text="selected"></p>
</div>

PHP 8.1+
Laravel 10.x, 11.x, or 12.x

Tailwind CSS 3.x (optional, for default styling)
