React Pallet

React Pallet is a comprehensive library for building color palettes and using them in React applications. It provides a simple API to generate a variety of color palettes based on color theory principles like monochromatic, triadic, complementary, and more. The generated palettes can be used in your React components to create visually appealing user interfaces.

Installation

You can install React Pallet using npm:

npm install react-pallet

Usage

To use React Pallet in your React application, you first need to import it:

import ReactPallet from 'react-pallet';

Generating Color Palettes

To generate a color palette, you need to use the generatePalette function provided by ReactPallet. This function takes two parameters: a base color and a type of palette:

const baseColor = '#FF0000'; // Red
const paletteType = 'complementary';
const palette = ReactPallet.generatePalette(baseColor, paletteType);

The available palette types are: monochromatic, complementary, analogous, triadic, tetradic, split-complementary, shades, tints, tones, and custom.

Using Color Palettes

Once you have generated a color palette, you can use it in your React components. For example, to create a button with a gradient background using the colors from the palette:

import React from 'react';

const Button = ({ text, palette }) => (
    <button style={{ 
        background: `linear-gradient(to right, ${palette[0]}, ${palette[1]})` 
    }}>
        {text}
    </button>
);

export default Button;

To use the button component with a generated palette:

import React from 'react';
import ReactPallet from 'react-pallet';
import Button from './Button';

const baseColor = '#FF0000'; // Red
const paletteType = 'complementary';
const palette = ReactPallet.generatePalette(baseColor, paletteType);

const App = () => (
    <div>
        <Button text="Click me!" palette={palette} />
    </div>
);

export default App;
