Getting Started with the ColorPalette
This guide demonstrates how to get up and running with the Kendo UI for jQuery ColorPalette.
After the completion of this guide, you will achieve the following end result:
<div id="colorpalette"></div>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#colorpalette").kendoColorPalette({
tileSize: 32,
columns: 8
});
});
</script>
1. Create a div Element
First, create a <div> element on the page that will be used to initialize the component. The content of the <div> will be the content of the ColorPalette.
<div id="colorpalette"></div>
2. Initialize the ColorPalette
In this step, you will initialize the ColorPalette from the <div> element.
<div id="colorpalette"></div>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#colorpalette").kendoColorPalette();
});
</script>
3. Apply Configuration Settings to the ColorPalette
Here, you will apply some settings as tileSize and columns.
<div id="colorpalette"></div>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#colorpalette").kendoColorPalette({
tileSize: 32, // The size of a color cell.
columns: 8 // The number of columns to display.
});
});
</script>
As of
Kendo UI R3 2022, you can initialize the ColorPalette from an input element and use it for value submission. The component is also supported as an editor in the Kendo UI for jQuery Form.
<form id="myForm"></form>
<script>
$("#myForm").kendoForm({
formData: {
ID: 1,
Name: "John Doe",
Address: 3,
Color: "red"
},
items: [
{
field: "Name",
validation: { required: true }
},
{
field: "Address",
editor:"DropDownList",
editorOptions:{
dataTextField:"text",
dataValueField:"id",
dataSource: {
data: [
{text:"Sofia", id:1},
{text:"London", id:2},
{text:"New York", id:3}
]
}
}
},
{
field: "Color",
editor:"ColorPalette"
}
]
});
</script>
