The ColorInput widget is an advanced ColorPicker input styled for Bootstrap. It uses a combination of the HTML5 color input and/or the JQuery Spectrum Plugin for rendering the color picker. You can use the Native HTML5 color input by setting the useNative
option to true
. Else, the Spectrum plugin polyfills for unsupported browser versions.
- Specially styled for Bootstrap 3.x and 4.x with customizable caption showing the output of the control.
- Ability to prepend and append addons.
- Allow the input to be changed both via the control or the text box.
- The Spectrum plugin automatically polyfills the
HTML5 color input
for unsupported browser versions.
