useColorArea

Provides the behavior and accessibility implementation for a color area component. Color area allows users to adjust two channels of an RGB, HSL or HSB color value against a two-dimensional gradient background.

API#

useColorArea(
  (props: AriaColorAreaOptions,
  , state: ColorAreaState
)): ColorAreaAria

Features#

The <input type="color"> HTML element can be used to build a color picker, however it is very inconsistent across browsers and operating systems and consists of a complete color picker rather than a color area. useColorArea helps achieve accessible and touch-friendly color areas that can be styled as needed.

Support for adjusting two-channel values of an HSL, HSB or RGB color value
Support for mouse, touch, and keyboard via the useMove hook
Multi-touch support
Pressing on the color area background moves the thumb to that position
Supports using the arrow keys, for changing value by step, as well as shift + arrow key, page up/down, home, and end keys, for changing the value by page step.
Support for disabling the color area
Prevents text selection while dragging
Exposed to assistive technology as a 2D slider element via ARIA
Uses two hidden native input elements within a group to support touch screen readers
Automatic ARIA labeling using the localized channel names by default
Support for mirroring in RTL locales

Anatomy#

A color area consists of a rectangular background area that provides, using a two-dimensional gradient, a visual representation of the range of color values from which a user can select, and a thumb that the user can drag to change the selected color value. Two visually hidden <input> elements are used to represent the color channel values to assistive technologies.

useColorArea returns five sets of props that you should spread onto the appropriate elements:

Name	Type	Description
`colorAreaProps`	`DOMAttributes`	Props for the color area container element.
`thumbProps`	`DOMAttributes`	Props for the thumb element.
`xInputProps`	`InputHTMLAttributes<HTMLInputElement>`	Props for the visually hidden horizontal range input element.
`yInputProps`	`InputHTMLAttributes<HTMLInputElement>`	Props for the visually hidden vertical range input element.

State is managed by the useColorAreaState hook from @react-stately/color. The state object should be passed as an option to useColorArea.

The aria-valuetext for each <input> will include the localized color channel name and current value for each channel.

Example#

This example shows how to build a color area with a draggable thumb to adjust two color channel values of a color. Styling for the background gradient and positioning of the thumb are provided by useColorArea in the returned props for each element. The two <input> elements inside the thumb represent the color channel values to assistive technologies, and are hidden from view. The thumb also uses the useFocusRing hook to grow in size when it is keyboard focused (try tabbing to it).

Usage#

The following examples show how to use the ColorArea component created in the above example.

Uncontrolled#

By default, color area is uncontrolled, with a default value of white using the RGB color space (rgb(255, 255, 255)). You can change the default value using the defaultValue prop, and the color area will use the color space of the provided value. If no xChannel or yChannel is provided, for the RGB color space, the red color channel maps to the horizontal axis or xChannel, and the green color channel maps to the vertical axis or yChannel. Similarly, for the HSL and HSB color spaces, the hue color channel maps to the horizontal axis or xChannel, and the saturation color channel maps to the vertical axis or yChannel.

<label id="hsb-label-id">x: Hue, y: Saturation</label>
<ColorArea
  aria-labelledby="hsb-label-id"
  defaultValue="hsb(219, 58%, 93%)" />

<label id="hsb-label-id">x: Hue, y: Saturation</label>
<ColorArea
  aria-labelledby="hsb-label-id"
  defaultValue="hsb(219, 58%, 93%)" />

<label id="hsb-label-id">
  x: Hue, y: Saturation
</label>
<ColorArea
  aria-labelledby="hsb-label-id"
  defaultValue="hsb(219, 58%, 93%)"
/>

Controlled#

A color area can be made controlled using the value prop. The parseColor function is used to parse the initial color from an RGB, HSL or HSB string, stored in state.

The onChange prop is used to update the value in the state when the user drags the thumb. This is the more common usage because it allows to adjust the third color channel using a separate control, like a color slider using the useColorSlider hook or a color wheel using the useColorWheel hook, or to display the color value stored in a state using a preview swatch.

The onChangeEnd prop can be used to handle when a user stops dragging the color area.

The ColorSlider component used in the example above controls the channel value not controlled by the ColorArea, in this case, the brightness channel, or the alpha channel. It is built using the useColorSlider hook, and can be shared with other color components.

ColorSwatch#

The ColorSwatch component used in the example above implements an image preview of the color with the useColorSwatch hook.

    />
  );
}

xChannel and yChannel#

The color channel for each axis of a color area can be specified using the xChannel and yChannel props. An array of channel names for a color can be returned using the color.getColorChannels method. To get a localized channel name to use as a label, you can use the color.getChannelName method.

Disabled#

A color area can be disabled using the isDisabled prop. This prevents the thumb from being focused or dragged. It's up to you to style your color area to appear disabled accordingly.

<ColorArea
  defaultValue="hsl(0, 100%, 50%)"
  xChannel="saturation"
  yChannel="lightness"
  isDisabled />

<ColorArea
  defaultValue="hsl(0, 100%, 50%)"
  xChannel="saturation"
  yChannel="lightness"
  isDisabled />

<ColorArea
  defaultValue="hsl(0, 100%, 50%)"
  xChannel="saturation"
  yChannel="lightness"
  isDisabled
/>

HTML forms#

ColorArea supports the xName and yName props for integration with HTML forms. The values will be submitted as numbers between the minimum and maximum value for the corresponding channel in the X and Y direction.

<ColorArea xName="red" yName="green" />

<ColorArea xName="red" yName="green" />

<ColorArea
  xName="red"
  yName="green"
/>

Internationalization#

Labeling#

By default, useColorArea provides an aria-label for the localized string "Color Picker", which labels the visually hidden <input> elements for the two color channels, or on mobile devices, the group containing them. If you wish to override this with a more specific label, an aria-label or aria-labelledby prop may be passed to further to identify the element to assistive technologies. For example, for a color area that adjusts a text color you might pass the aria-label prop, "Text color", which useColorArea will return as the aria-label prop "Text color, Color picker". When a custom aria-label is provided, it should be localized accordingly.

Role description#

In order to communicate to a screen reader user that the color area adjusts in two dimensions, useColorArea provides an aria-roledescription, using the localized string "2D Slider", on each of the visually hidden <input> elements.

Value formatting#

The aria-valuetext of each <input> element is formatted according to the user's locale automatically. It includes the localized color channel name and current value for each channel, with the channel name and value that the <input> element controls coming before the channel name and value for the adjacent <input> element. For example, for an RGB color area where the xChannel is "blue", the yChannel is "green", when the current selected color is yellow (rgb(255, 255, 0)), the <input> representing the blue channel will have aria-valuetext to announce as "Blue: 0, Green: 255", and the <input> representing the green channel will have aria-valuetext to announce as "Green: 255, Blue: 0".

RTL#

In right-to-left languages, color areas should be mirrored. Orientation of the gradient background, positioning of the thumb, and dragging behavior is automatically mirrored by useColorArea.
