Update npm package jquery-color

[jfoclpf]

Could you kindly update your npm package jquery-color?

It still mentions v1.0.0 and it has a single npm dependency for an old version of jquery, namely jquery v1.7.4 which is deprecated.

Any reason why jquery-color doesn't work with the lastest version of jquery?

I suppose you just need to do

npm i jquery@">=1.11.0"
npm version <new version>
npm publish

Furthermore in said npm package the link to github gives 404 page not found, when it should redirect here.

Not so much npm friendly :)
I tried though
npm install https://github.com/jquery/jquery-color but the target installation folder has only these files

$ ls node_modules/jquery-color/
AUTHORS.txt  LICENSE.txt  package.json  README.md

We will publish a final version of the package on npm when we're ready to release jQuery Color 3.0.0.

For now, you can install a beta:

npm install jquery-color@beta

Please report issues with this package if there are any that are not already reported.

Thank you very much. I indeed installed version beta and it is working as expected.
Just a question: do you know if it will be updated from beta to production version, when I update my npm packages through npm update or npm update jquery-color?

[mgol]

Yes, as far as I know it should update the package to the final version once it's released.

Is this npm package the 'official' one?

The package's Github page is listed as:

https://github.com/znetstar/jquery-color

which returns a 404 error at the moment.

Also, can anyone provide simple install instructions for this package?

Is it just:

npm install jquery-color@beta

and then in your js file:

import jquery_color from 'jquery-color'; 

$(document).on("click", ".click_me", function() {  

    $(this).animate({
	backgroundColor: "#abcdef"
}, 1500 );    

});  

I was reading the front page of this repo (https://github.com/jquery/jquery-color) and it said grunt was required and i don't use grunt so was a bit confused as to how to install it.

Thank You.

Edit: Yep, those steps above worked for me!

@oshihirii See #128 (comment). The current stable version of the package was not published by us, the next stable version will be (once we get to it).
