I'm using react-color and after following this tutorial I had implemented a ChromePicker.
How should it work:
- open the ChromePicker
- select a color using the hue bar and/or the "big square"
- after the ChromePicker is closed I want to update the color value on an object that is on props
So far it works like this:
- it opens when its button is clicked
- selecting the color is not working properly. When I click on the hue and drag that small circle sideways the color is changing ( I know this because there is a
this.state.color) but the circle remains the same position. Also, I would expect to load on the "big square" the now color palette but it's not doing it. If I click in the square to select a color, it works similar to the hue bar. The circle remains on the same position even if the value is changing. - the value is saved but also doesn't work fine: that request is called multiple times, every time the color is changed. I want it to change only after I select a color and I exit the ChromePicker (by clicking somewhere outside of it) and I was thinking that
onChangeCompletewould do that.
Here is a screenshot of it:
Why is the ChromePicker so badly? Is there a way to solve it? And also, I would like to save the new color on Company only after the ChromePicker is closed (it seems that onChangeComplete is not triggered by that)
This is the code:
import React from 'react';
import { Button, Icon } from 'semantic-ui-react';
import { ChromePicker } from 'react-color';
import { connect } from 'react-redux';
import { Creators } from '../../actions';
class Banner extends React.PureComponent {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
displayColorPicker: false,
};
}
handleClick = () => {
this.setState({ displayColorPicker: true });
};
handleClose = () => {
this.setState({ displayColorPicker: false });
};
handleChangeComplete = colors => {
const {
name,
color,
} = this.state;
this.setState({ color: colors.hex });
const { updateCompany } = this.props; // company is the entity from props that is updated
// it contains 2 values, its name and its color
updateCompany(this.props.company._id, {
name,
color,
});
};
render() {
this.props.color.color.color = this.state.color;
const popover = { // this is not essential, it's some styling for the picker
position: 'absolute',
zIndex: '2',
};
const cover = { // same as for popover
position: 'fixed',
top: '0px',
right: '0px',
bottom: '0px',
left: '0px',
};
const {company } = this.props; // gets the company from props
return (
<div className="banner-container settings-banner">
//the below div with its style is updating in real time when the color is changed
<div style={{ backgroundColor: this.state.color }}>
<div>
<Button
className="select-color-btn"
onClick={this.handleClick}>
Select a color
</Button>
{this.state.displayColorPicker ? (
<div style={popover}>
<div
style={cover}
onClick={this.handleClose}
onKeyDown={this.handleClick}
role="button"
tabIndex="0"
aria-label="Save"
/>
<ChromePicker
color={this.props.company.color}
onChangeComplete={this.handleChangeComplete}
/>
</div>
) : null}
</div>
</div>
</div>
);
}
}
const mapStateToProps = state => ({
company: state.companies.selectedCompany,
});
const mapDispatchToProps = {
updateCompany: Creators.updateCompanyRequest,
};
export default connect(mapStateToProps, mapDispatchToProps)(Banner);
