README
Extract colors from image assets in Craft 3. The Craft 2 plugin is moved to another branch.
Inner working
By using the imageColor field on each asset, it doesn't require extra database queries when showing colors. On install it creates a task to extract the color for every image.
Requirements
- A field named
imageColoron all assets of kind image (can be color or plaintext) - Craft 3 (we test on the latest release of Craft 3)
- PHP 7.1 at least
Example usage
Use the colorExtractor twig filter to retrieve the image's color from templates.
<div style="background-color: {{ entry.images[0]|colorExtractor }};"></div>
From command:
craft color-extractor/default
