# django-colorfield
simple color field for your models with a nice color-picker in the admin-interface.
## Installation
- Run `pip install django-colorfield`
- Add `colorfield` to `settings.INSTALLED_APPS`
- Run `python manage.py collectstatic`
- Restart your application server
## Usage
### Settings
This package doesn't need any setting.
### Models
Just add color field(s) to your models like this:
```python
from colorfield.fields import ColorField
from django.db import models
color = ColorField(default='#FF0000')
```
### Field Options
These are the supported custom options: [`format`](#format), [`image_field`](#image_field), [`samples`](#samples)
#### format
The following formats are supported: `hex` *(default)*, `hexa`, `rgb`, `rgba`.
```python
from colorfield.fields import ColorField
from django.db import models
#### image_field
It is possible to auto-populate the field value getting the color from an image using the `image_field` option.
The color will be calculated from the **top-left pixel** color of the image each time the model instance is saved.
```python
from colorfield.fields import ColorField
from django.db import models
image = models.ImageField(upload_to="images")
color = ColorField(image_field="image")
```
#### samples
It is possible to provide a palette of colors to choose from to the widget using the `samples` option.
This option **is not restrictive** (on the contrary of `choices` option), it is also possible to choose another color from the spectrum.
```python
from colorfield.fields import ColorField
from django.db import models
("#FFFFFF", "white", ),
("#000000", "black", ),
# not restrictive, allows the selection of another color from the spectrum.
color = ColorField(samples=COLOR_PALETTE)
# restrictive, it is mandatory to choose a color from the palette
color = ColorField(choices=COLOR_PALETTE)
### Admin
The admin will kindly provide a simple [color picker](http://jscolor.com/) for all color fields. :)
