`ColorInput`¶

Native color picker input.


Import	`from hedron import ColorInput`
Distribution	`hedron`
Backend activity	No
Normal render mode	`RenderMode.FRAGMENT`

Live demo¶

Accent

The preview is a local docs simulation (not a running Hedron server). Interactive demos show a “Simulated HTMX” trace when applicable.

Basic use¶

from hedron import ColorInput
component = ColorInput('accent', value='#336699')

Compose under Page for full documents, or return from a fragment route for HTMX swaps.

How it works¶

Phase 0.15 surface. Prefer native HTML semantics and ordinary HTTP actions.

This component's core behavior is server-rendered HTML and does not require a browser runtime. The preview is ordinary semantic HTML, so keyboard, form, link, and disclosure behavior comes from the platform.

Constructor and parameters¶

ColorInput(name: 'str', *, id: 'str | None' = None, value: 'str' = '#000000', required: 'bool' = False, disabled: 'bool' = False, mark: 'str | None' = None, aria_describedby: 'str | None' = None, aria_invalid: 'str | None' = None, aria_required: 'str | None' = None, **kwargs: 'object') -> 'None'

Parameter	Type	Meaning
`name`	`str`	Form control `name` submitted with the request.
`id`	`str \| None`	Optional DOM `id`. Default: `None`.
`value`	`str`	Current control value. Default: `'#000000'`.
`required`	`bool`	Whether the control must be filled before submit. Default: `False`.
`disabled`	`bool`	Whether the control is non-interactive. Default: `False`.
`mark`	`str \| None`	Optional stable test mark (`data-hedron-mark`). Default: `None`.
`aria_describedby`	`str \| None`	Optional `aria-describedby` id reference. Default: `None`.
`aria_invalid`	`str \| None`	Optional `aria-invalid` value. Default: `None`.
`aria_required`	`str \| None`	Optional `aria-required` value. Default: `None`.

Composition and backend behavior¶

Keep ColorInput at the smallest semantic boundary. Fragment routes should return only the replaced region and preserve stable target IDs across success, validation, empty, loading, and error responses.

ColorInput participates in interaction markup. Pair it with an explicit @app.action POST (and CSRF) when the control mutates state.

Accessibility¶

Keyboard and screen-reader operable; no-JS fallback required where interactive.

Security¶

Escaping and SafeUrl / TrustedHtml are framework concerns; authorization and data exposure remain application code. Redact secrets before rendering.

Common mistakes¶

Do not treat client-only hints (geolocation, browser storage) as authorization.
Do not copy docs-preview JavaScript into an application server.

Testing¶

from hedron import RenderMode, render

result = render(component, mode=RenderMode.FRAGMENT)
assert result.html
assert not result.diagnostics
