HSLuv - Human-friendly HSL


Installation

Install from NPM package repository:

``bash
npm install hsluv
`

ES modules:

`javascript
import {Hsluv} from "hsluv";
`

CommonJS:

`javascript
const {Hsluv} = require("hsluv");
`

HTML include:

- Download the latest hsluv.min.js
- Add to your HTML
- Access it via the global window.Hsluv

Usage

The API is designed to avoid heap allocation. The HSLuv class defines the following public fields:

- RGB: hex:String, rgb_r:Float [0;1], rgb_g:Float [0;1], rgb_r:Float [0;1]
- CIE XYZ: xyz_x:Float, xyz_y:Float, xyz_z:Float
- CIE LUV: luv_l:Float, luv_u:Float, luv_v:Float
- CIE LUV LCh: lch_l:Float, lch_c:Float, lch_h:Float
- HSLuv: hsluv_h:Float [0;360], hsluv_s:Float [0;100], hsluv_l:Float [0;100]
- HPLuv: hpluv_h:Float [0;360], hpluv_p:Float [0;100], hpluv_l:Float [0;100]

To convert between color spaces, simply set the properties of the source color space, run the
conversion methods, then read the properties of the target color space.

Use the following methods to convert to and from RGB:

- HSLuv: hsluvToRgb(), hsluvToHex(), rgbToHsluv(), hexToHsluv()
- HPLuv: hpluvToRgb(), hpluvToHex(), rgbToHpluv(), hexToHpluv()

Use the following methods to do step-by-step conversion:

- Forward: hsluvToLch() (or hpluvToLch()), lchToLuv(), luvToXyz(), xyzToRgb(), rgbToHex()
- Backward: hexToRgb(), rgbToXyz(), xyzToLuv(), luvToLch(), lchToHsluv() (or lchToHpluv())

For advanced usage, we also export the bounding lines in slope-intercept
format, two for each RGB channel representing the limit of the gamut.

- R < 0: r0s, r0i
- R > 1: r1s, r1i
- G < 0: g0s, g0i
- G > 1: g1s, g1i
- B < 0: b0s, b0i
- B > 1: b1s, b1i

Example:

`javascript
var conv = new Hsluv();
conv.hsluv_h = 10;
conv.hsluv_s = 75;
conv.hsluv_l = 65;
conv.hsluvToHex();
console.log(conv.hex); // Will print "#ec7d82"
`

Development

Our GitHub Actions workflow
will build and test every push and PR to the main branch. When a main branch receives a commit that
updates the project version in package.json, the workflow will tag the commit, create a draft release
on GitHub and publish the npm package. Mark your versions with the -rc` suffix to create pre-releases.
