This article will guide you through the installation process, usage, and configuration of Huebee while also offering some troubleshooting tips. Let’s dive in!

Installing Huebee

To start using Huebee, first, you’ll need to make sure you have it installed. Here’s how you can do that:

• Download Files:
  • CSS:
    • huebee.min.css (minified)
    • huebee.css (un-minified)
  • JavaScript:
    • huebee.pkgd.min.js (minified)
    • huebee.pkgd.js (un-minified)
• Using a CDN:

  <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/huebee@2/dist/huebee.min.css">
  <script src="https://unpkg.com/huebee@2/dist/huebee.pkgd.min.js"></script>

• Using Package Managers:
  • npm: npm install huebee --save
  • Bower: bower install huebee --save

Usage Instructions

Now that you have Huebee installed, let’s see how to get it working on your web page. You can initialize it in two ways: using JavaScript or directly in HTML.

JavaScript Initialization

To initialize the Huebee color picker with JavaScript, you can use a simple selector string or an element reference.

var hueb = new Huebee('.color-input', {
    setBGColor: true,
    saturations: 2,
});

HTML Initialization

Alternatively, you can initialize Huebee directly in HTML without any JavaScript. Just add a data-huebee attribute to your element:

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

Configuring Your Color Picker with Options

Huebee is full of customizable options that allow you to configure it to fit your needs:

• hues: Number of hues (default: 12)
• shades: Number of shades (default: 5)
• saturations: Control sets of saturation (default: 3)
• notation: Choose syntax (options: shortHex, hex, hsl; default: shortHex)
• customColors: Add your own custom colors.

Styling Huebee

You can customize the appearance of the color picker by manipulating the corresponding CSS classes:

.huebee__cursor {
    width: 25px;
    height: 25px;
}
.huebee__container {
    background: #444;
    border: 1px solid #222;
    border-radius: 20px;
}

Troubleshooting

If you run into any issues while using Huebee, consider checking the following:

• Make sure all files are linked correctly and there are no typos in the file names.
• If you’re using JavaScript initialization, verify that your selector matches an existing element.
• Check your browser’s console for any error messages that may provide additional guidance.
