Color Swatch

• Created for a coding exercise, originally in https://jsfiddle.net/luken/xoy83pj5/192/
• Designed to use progressive enhancement to add a UI to an existing <select> element.
• Fully functional, but lacking unit tests, validation, responsive styling, accessibility, and cleaning-up of events.
• Try it out: https://lukenickerson.github.io/color-swatch/example.html

How to Use

See the example.html file for an example of how to use.

1. Include ColorSwatch.js and color-swatch.css files with your project. Note that the js file is setup as an ES6 module, so it will need to be properly imported.
   • Example: <script src="./ColorSwatch.js" type="module"></script>
   • Example: import ColorSwatch from './ColorSwatch.js';
2. Add a <select> element that has <option> elements with values of the hex color codes you want in your palette. Make sure the select element has an ID or class to use as a selector.
   • Example: <select id="swatch-1"><option value="#000000">Black</option></select>
3. Create an instance of ColorSwatch with the selector as the first param.
   • Example: const mySwatch = new ColorSwatch('#swatch-1');
4. Call the init method. Example: mySwatch.init();
5. Once the DOM is ready, some additional elements and events will be added, and the color swatch should be functional. Repeat 2-4 if you want multiple swatches on one page.
