cssString
represents argba(int, int, int, float)
string
See examples below for usage.
- alpha is an optional argument on both functions, and if not supplied it will only be returned for hexToRgba() [and as 100%] as it is not required for a hex code (these are always 100% without an aplha value)
- hex codes will always be in lowercase
- check out the tests file for examples - it has the expected results appended
- hexToRgba will output an
rgba()
string if accessed as string and will the alpha value will always have 1 decimal (0 -> 0.0, 1 -> 1.0) - aHexToRgba(), rgbaToAHex(): for aHEX (ARGB, AARRGGBB) used on Android, the alpha value is first instead of last.
accepted hex code -> understood hex color code + alpha as hex
'#123' -> #112233
'#1234' -> #112233 + 44 (same as chrome handles it, v1.1.0)
'#123456' -> #123456
'#12345678' -> #123456 + 78
