Color Area

ColorArea allows users to adjust two channels of an RGB, HSL or HSB color value against a two-dimensional gradient background.

<ColorArea />

Installation

Install the following dependencies:

npm install react-aria-components

Copy and paste the following code into your project.

"use client";

import {
  ColorArea as AriaColorArea,
  composeRenderProps,
  type ColorAreaProps as AriaColorAreaProps,
} from "react-aria-components";
import { tv } from "tailwind-variants";
import { ColorThumb } from "./color-thumb";

const colorAreaStyles = tv({
  base: "inline-block size-48 min-w-20 rounded-md disabled:!bg-bg-disabled",
});

type ColorAreaProps = Omit<ColorAreaRootProps, "children">;
const ColorArea = (props: ColorAreaProps) => {
  return (
    <ColorAreaRoot {...props}>
      <ColorThumb />
    </ColorAreaRoot>
  );
};

interface ColorAreaRootProps extends Omit<AriaColorAreaProps, "className"> {
  className?: string;
}
const ColorAreaRoot = ({ className, ...props }: ColorAreaRootProps) => {
  return (
    <AriaColorArea
      {...props}
      className={colorAreaStyles({ className })}
      style={composeRenderProps(props.style, (style, { isDisabled }) => ({
        ...style,
        ...(isDisabled ? { background: "none" } : {}),
      }))}
    />
  );
};

export { ColorArea, ColorAreaRoot };

Update the import paths to match your project setup.

Usage

Use ColorArea to allow users to adjust two channels of an RGB, HSL or HSB color value against a two-dimensional gradient background.

Options

Channels

xChannel and yChannel props may be provided to specify which color channels the color area should display

<ColorArea xChannel="red" yChannel="blue" />

Disabled

Use the isDisabled prop to disable the color area.

<ColorArea isDisabled />

Unontrolled

An initial, uncontrolled value can be provided to the ColorArea using the defaultValue prop.

<ColorArea defaultValue="hsl(30, 100%, 50%)" />

Controlled

Use the value and onChange props to control the value of the slider.

Selected color : hsla(0, 100%, 50%, 1)

const [value, setValue] = React.useState(parseColor("hsl(0, 100%, 50%)"))
return <ColorArea value={value} onChange={setValue} xChannel="saturation" yChannel="lightness" />

Composition

If you need to customize things further, you can drop down to the composition level.

<ColorAreaRoot>
  <ColorThumb />
</ColorAreaRoot>
