Convert Hex to RGBA
//If you write your own code, remember hex color shortcuts (eg., #fff, #000)
function hexToRgbA(hex){
var c;
if(/^#([A-Fa-f0-9]{3}){1,2}$/.test(hex)){
c= hex.substring(1).split('');
if(c.length== 3){
c= [c[0], c[0], c[1], c[1], c[2], c[2]];
}
c= '0x'+c.join('');
return 'rgba('+[(c>>16)&255, (c>>8)&255, c&255].join(',')+',1)';
}
throw new Error('Bad Hex');
}
hexToRgbA('#fbafff')
/* returned value: (String)
rgba(251,175,255,1)
*/
@ElDoRado1239 has the right idea, but there's also a cleaner way:
function hexToRGB(hex, alpha) {
var r = parseInt(hex.slice(1, 3), 16),
g = parseInt(hex.slice(3, 5), 16),
b = parseInt(hex.slice(5, 7), 16);
if (alpha) {
return "rgba(" + r + ", " + g + ", " + b + ", " + alpha + ")";
} else {
return "rgb(" + r + ", " + g + ", " + b + ")";
}
}
hexToRGB('#FF0000', 0.5);
