yii2-widget-colorinput

The ColorInput widget is an advanced ColorPicker input styled for Bootstrap. It uses a combination of the HTML5 color input and/or the JQuery Spectrum Plugin for rendering the color picker. You can use the Native HTML5 color input by setting the useNative option to true. Else, the Spectrum plugin polyfills for unsupported browser versions.

• Specially styled for Bootstrap 3.x and 4.x with customizable caption showing the output of the control.
• Ability to prepend and append addons.
• Allow the input to be changed both via the control or the text box.
• The Spectrum plugin automatically polyfills the HTML5 color input for unsupported browser versions.

NOTE: This extension is a sub repo split of yii2-widgets. The split has been done since 08-Nov-2014 to allow developers to install this specific widget in isolation if needed. One can also use the extension the previous way with the whole suite of yii2-widgets.
