A very simple color picker for Symfony2 forms using simplecolorpicker by tkrotoff

Installation

This bundle is compatible with Symfony 2.1. Add the following to your composer.json:

"oh/color-picker-type-bundle": "dev-master"

In your repositories array in composer.json you need to add the javascript package

    "repositories" : [{
        "type": "package",
        "package": {
            "version": "master",
            "name": "tkrotoff/jquery-simplecolorpicker",
            "source": {
                "url": "https://github.com/tkrotoff/jquery-simplecolorpicker.git",
                "type": "git",
                "reference": "master"
            }
        }
}
]

Register the bundle in your app/AppKernel.php:

// app/AppKernel.php
public function registerBundles()
    {
        $bundles = array(
            new Oh\ColorPickerTypeBundle\OhColorPickerTypeBundle(),
            // ...

You might need to change a couple of options if you are trying to use Symfony 2.0

If you want to automatically include the assets from the bundle, add OhColorPickerTypeBundle to assetic

# app/config/config.yml
# Assetic Configuration
assetic:
    bundles:        [ 'OhColorPickerTypeBundle' ]

Usage

This bundle contains a new FormType called ColorPickerType which can be used in your forms like so:

use Oh\ColorPickerTypeBundle\Form\Type\ColorPickerType;
[...]
$builder->add('color', new ColorPickerType());

On your model you can add the validation classes

// Your model eg, src/My/Colors/Entity/MyColor.php
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;
use Oh\ColorPickerTypeBundle\Validator\Constraints as OhAssertColor;

class MyColor
{

    /**
     * @ORM\Column(type="string", length=6, nullable=true)
     * @Assert\NotBlank()
     * @OhAssertColor\HexColor(groups={"colours"})
     */
    public $color;

}

Include the twig template for the layout.

# your config.yml
twig:
    form:
        resources:
            # This uses the default - you can put your own one here
            - 'OhColorPickerTypeBundle:Form:fields.html.twig'

# or in your twig template
{% form_theme my_form 'OhColorPickerTypeBundle:Form:_event.html.twig' %}

Options

There are a number of options, mostly self-explanatory. It's recommended that you include the javascript and css with the rest of your libraries, but if you want a quick test you can include them with the form field using the include_* options below (you will have to add the bundle to the assetic.bundles array in your config - see above).

array(
        'include_jquery'    => false, // include jquery from google cdn
        'include_js'        => false, // include the javascript
        'include_js_constructor'=>true, // include the constructor for each field
        'include_css'       => false, // include the css
        'picker'            => false // an openable picker rather than an expanded selection
)

Known problems

Because the form type template includes javascript, there's not yet a way to bunch it all together at the very bottom of the page, so it is included at the bottom of the field. This means that jquery and the javascript plugin needs to be included before the field. I'm not sure of a way around this, but I think it's going to be addressed in a later version of the form framework.
