Color Picker

The Color Picker controller allows users to select a color by using a visual color user interface.

Demonstration

 
Handy::control( 'color-picker', [
    'id'          => 'color_picker_id',
    'section'     => 'layout_section',
    'label'       => esc_html__( 'Color Picker Control', 'textdomain' ),
    'description' => esc_html__( 'Description Here', 'textdomain' ),
    'priority'    => 1
]);

TIP

Here's an example using the default parameter. Note the default value accepts only a color based on defined color format.

 
Handy::control( 'color-picker', [
    'id'          => 'color_picker_id',
    'section'     => 'layout_section',
    'default'     => '#ffffff',
    'label'       => esc_html__( 'Color Picker Control', 'textdomain' ),
    'description' => esc_html__( 'Description Here', 'textdomain' ),
    'priority'    => 1
]);

TIP

Here's an example using the format parameter. These are the list of allowed color formats: hex, hexa, hsl, hsla, rgb and rgba.

 
Handy::control( 'color-picker', [
    'id'          => 'color_picker_id',
    'section'     => 'layout_section',
    'default'     => '#ffffff',
    'label'       => esc_html__( 'Color Picker Control', 'textdomain' ),
    'description' => esc_html__( 'Description Here', 'textdomain' ),
    'priority'    => 1,
    'format'      => 'hex'
]);
