farver

A Rust converter to transform CSS colors. 🎨

Installation

Add the farver crate to your Cargo.toml's list of dependencies: rust [dependencies] farver = "3.1.0"

What is farver?

This crate allows you to create and manipulate colors using Less functions, and to be able to use a common color type if you need to convert to interact with multiple crates

The RGB color model is often useful when you'd like to represent a color using a certain amount of red, green, and blue. css background-color: rgb(255, 99, 71); // tomato However, it is also possible to represent the same color using the HSL color model, which specifies the hue, saturation, and luminosity of a color: css background-color: hsl(9, 100%, 64%); // also tomato!

You can also use CSS preprocessors like Less to manipulate these colors in interesting ways. css $tomato: hsl(9, 100%, 64%); // equivalent to rgb(255, 99, 71) $dark-tomato: darken($tomato, 20%); // hsl(9, 100%, 44%) $desaturated-tomato: desaturate($tomato, 40%); // hsl(9, 60%, 64%)

This crate allows you to perform operations that map to Less' color operations API. These operations can be applied on both RGB & HSL color models.

Examples

Represent colors as a valid CSS string: ```rust use farver::{Color, rgb, hsla};

let salmon = rgb(250, 128, 114); let chartreuse = hsla(90, 100, 50, 1.0);

asserteq!(salmon.tocss(), "rgb(250, 128, 114)"); asserteq!(chartreuse.tocss(), "hsla(90, 100%, 50%, 1.00)"); ```

Convert between different color model representations: ```rust use farver::{Color, rgb, rgba, hsl, hsla};

let chartreuse = rgb(127, 255, 0);

asserteq!(chartreuse.tohsl(), hsl(90, 100, 50)); asserteq!(chartreuse.tohsla(), hsla(90, 100, 50, 1.0)); asserteq!(chartreuse.torgba(), rgba(127, 255, 0, 1.0)); ```

Manipulate single colors to create new color model representations: ```rust use farver::{Color, hsl, percent};

let chartreuse = hsl(90, 100, 50);

asserteq!(chartreuse.darken(percent(20)), hsl(90, 100, 30)); asserteq!(chartreuse.desaturate(percent(20)), hsl(90, 80, 50)); assert_eq!(chartreuse.greyscale(), hsl(90, 0, 50)); ```

Manipulate multiple colors to create new color model representations: ```rust use farver::{Color, rgb, rgba, hsl, hsla, percent};

let chartreuse = hsl(90, 100, 50); let red = rgba(100, 0, 0, 1.0);

asserteq!( chartreuse.mix(red, percent(50)).tocss(), "hsla(67, 98%, 25%, 1.00)" ); asserteq!(chartreuse.tint(percent(50)).tocss(), "hsl(90, 100%, 75%)"); asserteq!(chartreuse.shade(percent(50)).tocss(), "hsl(90, 98%, 25%)"); ```
