file and add your color palette to parameters like below.
Scroll down to find out how your color palette must look like.
import yourFirstColorPalette from './yourFirstColorPalette.json';
import yourSecondColorPalette from './yourSecondColorPalette.json';
export const parameters = {
...
colorPicker: {
primaryPalette: 'Your first palette name', // Name of primary palette for all components and its stories. Optional (fallback to first palette from the palettes array).
palettes: [
{
name: 'Your first palette name', // string
palette: yourFirstColorPalette, // Palette as an Object or an Array. See bellow.
},
{
name: 'Your second palette name',
palette: yourSecondColorPalette,
},
]
}
};
On component
This will add color picker and palettes to all component's stories.
In MyComponent.stories.js
add:
const meta = {
...
parameters: {
colorPicker: {
primaryPalette: 'Your first palette name',
palettes: [
{
name: 'Your first palette name',
palette: yourFirstColorPalette,
},
{
name: 'Your second palette name',
palette: yourSecondColorPalette,
},
]
}
}
}
export const PrimaryComponent = { args: {...} }
export default meta
On story
This will add color picker and palettes to specific story.
In MyComponent.stories.js
add:
export const SecondaryComponent = {
...
parameters: {
colorPicker: {
primaryPalette: 'Colorful palette',
applyColorTo: ['label'],
disableDefaultPalettes: true,
theme: 'dark',
},
}
}
Palette
as Object
type ColorPaletteAsObject = Record<string, Record<string, string> | string>
Example:
{
white: "#fff", // valid hex, rgb, rgba, hsl, hsla
black: "#000",
light: {
" 500": "#aaa",
" 100": "rgba(238, 238, 238, .8)",
" 200": "rgb(238, 238, 238)",
" 300": "hsla(0, 0%, 73%, .8)",
" 400": "hsl(0, 0%, 73%)"
},
dark: {
"0100": "#888",
"0500": "#000",
"0400": "#222",
"0200": "#666",
"0300": "#444"
}
}
Useful tip: add white spaces or zeros before numerical keys to prevent auto sorting
as Array
type ColorPaletteAsArray = {
label: string
values: [
{
label: string
value: string
},
]
}
Example:
const myArrayPalette = [
{
label: 'light',
values: [
{
label: '100',
value: '#fff',
},
{
label: '200',
value: '#aaa',
},
],
},
{
label: 'dark',
values: [
{
label: '100',
value: '#222',
},
{
label: '200',
value: '#000000',
},
],
},
]
Set primary palette on component or its stories

...
parameters: {
colorPicker: {
primaryPalette: 'Your second palette name',
}
}
};

Apply selected color to component's control
All controls with type of "color" will be detected automatically. You can add extra controls to which color may be applied. Only controls of type "text" may be added as extra.
On component
Add list of extra controls to all component's stories.
In MyComponent.stories.js
add:
const meta = {
...
argTypes: {
backgroundColor: { control: 'color' }, // Color controls will be detected automatically
label: { control: 'text' }, // Text controls may be added as extra
text: { control: 'text' }, // Text controls may be added as extra
},
parameters: {
colorPicker: {
applyColorTo: ['label'] // Must match argType key
}
}
};
On story
Add list of extra controls to selected story to overwrite list added to component globally as in example above.
In MyComponent.stories.js
add:
export const SecondaryComponent = {
...
parameters: {
colorPicker: {
applyColorTo: ['text'], // Pass empty array to clear extra controls
}
}
};
Default palettes
Disable default palettes
To disable default palettes just add disableDefaultPalettes: true
to global, component or story parameters.
Theme
Storybook-color-picker will adjust automatically to the theme set on storybook.
To override the storybook theme:
const meta = {
...
parameters: {
colorPicker: {
theme: 'light' | 'dark' | 'auto' // Default 'auto'
}
...
}
};
