# `<channel-picker>`

## Usage

### Basic usage

```html
<channel-picker value="oklab.a"></channel-picker>
```

If no color channel is provided (via the `value` attribute/property),
the default `oklch.l` will be used:

```html
<channel-picker></channel-picker>
```

You can hide the `color-space` part with CSS to show only the coordinates of the specified space:

```html
<channel-picker id="picker" value="hsl.h"></channel-picker>

<style>
	#picker::part(color-space) {
		display: none;
	}
</style>
```

### Events

You can listen to the `valuechange` event to get the current value (the `value` property). When a new color space is selected,
the channel will be either preserved (if it is in the new space) or reset to the first available one:

```html
<channel-picker onvaluechange="this.nextElementSibling.textContent = this.value"></channel-picker>
<output></output>
```

### Dynamic

All properties are reactive and can be set programmatically:

```html
<button onclick="this.nextElementSibling.value = 'p3.b'">Switch to P3 Blue</button>
<channel-picker></channel-picker>
```

`<channel-picker>` plays nicely with other color elements, like [`<channel-slider>`](../channel-slider):

```html
<channel-picker id="channel_picker" value="oklch.c"></channel-picker>
<channel-slider id="channel_slider" color="oklch(50% 50% 180)"></channel-slider>

<style>
	#channel_picker::part(color-space) {
		display: none;
	}
</style>

<script>
	function updateSlider() {
		let [space, channel] = channel_picker.value.split(".");
		channel_slider.space = space;
		channel_slider.channel = channel;
	}
	
	channel_picker.onvaluechange = updateSlider;
</script>
```
