/**
 * Represents the allowed angle unit types for CSS color functions.
 *
 * - `deg` → Degrees (0–360).
 * - `grad` → Gradians (0–400).
 * - `rad` → Radians (0–2π).

## 🌈 TinyColorValidator Class

The `TinyColorValidator` class provides utilities for validating and parsing **CSS color values** in multiple formats.
It supports **hex, RGB/RGBA, HSL/HSLA, HWB, LAB, LCH, HTML named colors, and special keywords**.

### ✨ Features

* Validate (`isHex`, `isRgb`, `isHsl`, etc.) color formats.
* Parse (`parseRgb`, `parseHsl`, etc.) into numeric components.
* Manage and extend HTML color names and special keywords dynamically.

### 🧩 Example

```js
const validator = new TinyColorValidator("rgb(255, 0, 0)");

console.log(validator.isRgb());    // true ✅
console.log(validator.parseRgb()); // [255, 0, 0]
```

---

## 🎨 Supported Formats

* **Hexadecimal** → `#RGB`, `#RRGGBB`, `#RRGGBBAA`
* **RGB / RGBA** → `rgb(r, g, b)`, `rgba(r, g, b, a)`
* **HSL / HSLA** → `hsl(h, s%, l%)`, `hsla(h, s%, l%, a)`
* **HWB** → `hwb(hue whiteness% blackness%)`
* **LAB** → `lab(L a b)`
* **LCH** → `lch(L C H)`
* **HTML Named Colors** → e.g. `red`, `blue`, `rebeccapurple`
* **Special Keywords** → `transparent`, `currentColor`

---

## 🖌️ HTML Color Names API

```ts
TinyColorValidator.getNames(): string[]
TinyColorValidator.addName(name: string): boolean
TinyColorValidator.removeName(name: string): boolean
TinyColorValidator.hasName(name: string): boolean
```

* **`getNames()`** → Returns all HTML color names as an array.
* **`addName(name)`** → Adds a new HTML color name (case-insensitive).
* **`removeName(name)`** → Removes an existing HTML color name.
* **`hasName(name)`** → Checks if a given name exists.

---

## 🌟 Special Color Names API

```ts
TinyColorValidator.getSpecialNames(): string[]
TinyColorValidator.addSpecialName(name: string): boolean
TinyColorValidator.removeSpecialName(name: string): boolean
TinyColorValidator.hasSpecialName(name: string): boolean
```

* **`getSpecialNames()`** → Returns all special keywords.
* **`addSpecialName(name)`** → Adds a new special keyword.
* **`removeSpecialName(name)`** → Removes an existing keyword.
* **`hasSpecialName(name)`** → Checks if the keyword exists.

---

## 🧱 Instance Properties

```ts
class TinyColorValidator {
  #code: string;

  constructor(code: TinyColorValidatorT);
  get code(): string;
}
```

* **`#code`** → Internal storage for the provided color string.
* **`get code()`** → Retrieves the original input string.
* **`constructor(code)`** → Creates a new validator instance with the given color string.

### 🏷️ Color Type Storage

* **Private property:** `#type`
* **Type:** `ColorTypes | null`
* **Description:** Internal storage for the detected type of the CSS color.

```ts
/**
 * Internal storage for the code type.
 * @type {ColorTypes|null}
 */
#type;
```

* **Getter:** `type`
* **Returns:** `ColorTypes | null`
* **Description:** Returns the currently stored color type.

```ts
/**
 * Gets the current code type.
 * @returns {ColorTypes|null} The stored code type.
 */
get type() {
  return this.#type;
}
```
