Usage

Initialize Huebee on an anchor element.

<input class="color-input" />

Huebee will open whenever the anchor is clicked or focused (for inputs and buttons).

Initialize with JavaScript

// use selector string to initialize on single element
var hueb = new Huebee( '.color-input', {
  // options
  setBGColor: true,
  saturations: 2,
});

// or use element
var colorInput = document.querSelector('.color-input');
var hueb = new Huebee( colorInput, {
  // options
  setBGColor: true,
  saturations: 2,
});

Initialize with HTML

You can initialize Huebee in HTML, without writing any JavaScript. Add data-huebee attribute to an element.

<input class="color-input" data-huebee />

Options can be set in value of data-huebee. Options set in HTML must be valid JSON. Keys need to be quoted, for example "setBGColor":. Note that the attribute value uses single quotes ', but the JSON entities use double-quotes ".

<input class="color-input" data-huebee='{ "setBGColor": true, "saturations": 2 }' />
