Simple color validator function
export function isValidColor(color: string) {
let otpNode = new Option()
otpNode.style.color = color
return !!otpNode.style.color
}
Usage
// Valid colors
isValidColor('purple') // true
isValidColor('burlywood') // true
isValidColor('lightsalmon') // true
isValidColor('rgb(255, 255, 255)') // true
isValidColor('rgba(255, 255, 255, .5)') // true
isValidColor('#ccc') // true
isValidColor('hsl(100, 0%, 18%)') // true
// Invalid colors
isValidColor('not-a-color-name') // false
isValidColor('dark gray') // false. Should be 'darkgray'
isValidColor('rgb(255, 255, 255, 1, 1)') // false
isValidColor('#ccczzz') // false
Caveat
Strings like unset, initial, inherit, currentcolor, transparent are also valid values, so if you want to exclude these strings, just change the function a bit:
export function isValidColor(color: string) {
let otpNode = new Option()
otpNode.style.color = color
return !!otpNode.style.color && !/(unset|initial|inherit|currentcolor|transparent)/i.test(color)
}
isValidColor('rgb(-1, 255, 255)') // true
isValidColor('none') // false
isValidColor('initial') // false
isValidColor('gray') // true
