Example of a color picker made with React.JS

In order to have a color picker on our React.JS application, we can use the SketchPicker library

Full example

Color: <TextField variant="outlined" id="standard-basic" style={{padding: 5, width: '90%', background: color}} value={color?color:''} onChange={(e) => { setColor(e.target.value); }} />
<SketchPicker 
   color={ color?color:'#fff' }
   onChangeComplete={ (colorSelected) => {
         setColor(`${colorSelected.hex}${decimalToHex(colorSelected.rgb.a)}`);
      } 
   }
   presetColors={['#D0021B', '#F5A623', '#F8E71C', '#8B572A', '#7ED321', '#417505', '#BD10E0', '#9013FE', '#4A90E2', '#50E3C2', '#B8E986', '#000000', '#4A4A4A', '#9B9B9B', '#FFFFFF']}
/>

Alerting user with a small messaga bubble – Snackbar – React.JS

01/07/2021 Nicolas Baptista Hooks, Javascript, Material UI 0 Comments

In your web app, you will have to notice the user when he is doing some actions in your user interface. We can do it with a small message bubble called Snackbar, here is what it looks like:

How we will do it

setSnackSeverity("error");
setSnackMessage("The last cell cannot be deleted.");
setOpenError(true);

In your code, we will use these 3 lines to:
– Set the severity “error”, there are 4 types of severity

– Set the error message that will be displayed “The last cell cannot be deleted.”
– Show the error message (during few seconds)

Full example

import Snackbar from '@material-ui/core/Snackbar';
import MuiAlert, { AlertProps } from '@material-ui/lab/Alert';
function Alert(props) {
  return <MuiAlert elevation={6} variant="filled" {...props} />;
}
...
const [snackSeverity, setSnackSeverity] = useState('error');
const [openError, setOpenError] = useState(false);
const [snackMessage,setSnackMessage] = useState('Error');
...
setSnackSeverity("error");
setSnackMessage("The last cell cannot be deleted.");
setOpenError(true);
...
<Snackbar
   anchorOrigin={{ vertical: 'bottom', horizontal: 'right' }}
   open={openError}
   onClose={(e)=>setOpenError(false)}
   autoHideDuration={3000} 
   >
     <Alert onClose={(e)=>setOpenError(false)} severity={snackSeverity}>
       {snackMessage}
     </Alert>
</Snackbar>
