# ColorField

A color field allows users to edit a hex color or individual color channel value.

## Vanilla CSS example

### ColorField.tsx

```tsx
'use client';
import {
  ColorField as AriaColorField,
  ColorFieldProps as AriaColorFieldProps,
  Input,
  ValidationResult
} from 'react-aria-components';
import {Text} from './Content';
import {Label, FieldError, Description} from './Form';

import './ColorField.css';

export interface ColorFieldProps extends AriaColorFieldProps {
  label?: string;
  description?: string;
  errorMessage?: string | ((validation: ValidationResult) => string);
}

export function ColorField(
  { label, description, errorMessage, ...props }: ColorFieldProps
) {
  return (
    (
      <AriaColorField {...props}>
        {label && <Label>{label}</Label>}
        <Input className="react-aria-Input inset" />
        {description && <Description>{description}</Description>}
        <FieldError>{errorMessage}</FieldError>
      </AriaColorField>
    )
  );
}

```

### ColorField.css

```css
@import "./theme.css";
@import "./TextField.css";

.react-aria-ColorField {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
}

```

## Tailwind example

### ColorField.tsx

```tsx
'use client';
import React from 'react';
import {
  ColorField as AriaColorField,
  ColorFieldProps as AriaColorFieldProps,
  ValidationResult
} from 'react-aria-components';
import { tv } from 'tailwind-variants';
import { Description, FieldError, Input, Label, fieldBorderStyles } from './Field';
import { composeTailwindRenderProps, focusRing } from './utils';

const inputStyles = tv({
  extend: focusRing,
  base: 'border-2 rounded-lg',
  variants: {
    isFocused: fieldBorderStyles.variants.isFocusWithin,
    ...fieldBorderStyles.variants,
  }
});

export interface ColorFieldProps extends AriaColorFieldProps {
  label?: string;
  description?: string;
  errorMessage?: string | ((validation: ValidationResult) => string);
}

export function ColorField(
  { label, description, errorMessage, ...props }: ColorFieldProps
) {
  return (
    <AriaColorField {...props} className={composeTailwindRenderProps(props.className, 'flex flex-col gap-1 font-sans')}>
      {label && <Label>{label}</Label>}
      <Input className={inputStyles} />
      {description && <Description>{description}</Description>}
      <FieldError>{errorMessage}</FieldError>
    </AriaColorField>
  );
}

```

### index.css

```css
@import 'tailwindcss';
@plugin 'tailwindcss-react-aria-components';
@plugin 'tailwindcss-animate';

/* Scale up hit targets on high resolution mobile devices. */
@media (min-resolution: 200dpi) {
  html {
    font-size: 18px;
  }

  .text-sm {
    /* ensure minimum font size of 16px */
    font-size: 0.9rem;
  }
}

body {
  @apply bg-white dark:bg-zinc-900;
  color-scheme: dark light;
}

```

## Value

Use the `value` or `defaultValue` prop to set the color value, and `onChange` to handle user input. The value may be a string or `Color` object, parsed using the `parseColor` function. `onChange` is always called with a `Color` object.

```tsx
import {ColorField} from 'vanilla-starter/ColorField';
import {parseColor} from 'react-aria-components';
import {useState} from 'react';

function Example() {
  let [value, setValue] = useState(parseColor('#e73623'));

  return (
    <div>
      <ColorField
        label="Primary color"
        placeholder="Enter a color"
        value={value}
        onChange={setValue} />
      <pre style={{fontSize: 12}}>Current value: {value?.toString('hex')}</pre>
    </div>
  );
}
```

## Channel

By default, ColorField displays a hex value. Set the `colorSpace` and `channel` props to display a specific color channel.

```tsx
import {ColorField} from 'vanilla-starter/ColorField';
import {parseColor} from 'react-aria-components';
import {useState} from 'react';

function Example() {
  let [color, setColor] = useState(parseColor('#7f007f'));

  return (
    <div style={{ display: 'flex', flexDirection: 'column', gap: 8 }}>
      <ColorField
        label="Hue"
        
        value={color}
        onChange={setColor}
        /*- begin highlight -*/
        colorSpace="hsl"
        channel="hue" />
        {/*- end highlight -*/}
      <ColorField
        label="Saturation"
        value={color}
        onChange={setColor}
        colorSpace="hsl"
        channel="saturation" />
      <ColorField
        label="Lightness"
        value={color}
        onChange={setColor}
        colorSpace="hsl"
        channel="lightness" />
      <pre style={{fontSize: 12}}>Current value: {color?.toString('hex')}</pre>
    </div>
  );
}
```

## Forms

Use the `name` prop to submit the text value to the server. Set the `isRequired` prop to validate the value, or implement custom client or server-side validation. See the Forms guide to learn more.

```tsx
import {ColorField, Button, Form} from 'vanilla-starter/ColorField';
import {Button} from 'vanilla-starter/Button';
import {Form} from 'vanilla-starter/Form';

function Example(props) {
  return (
    <Form>
      <ColorField
        {...props}
        label="Brand color"
        placeholder="Enter a color"
        name="brandColor"
        isRequired />
        {/*- end highlight -*/}
      <Button type="submit" style={{marginTop: 8}}>Submit</Button>
    </Form>
  );
}
```

## API

```tsx
<ColorField>
  <Label />
  <Input />
  <Text slot="description" />

</ColorField>
```
