Documentation / @ripl/core / parseKeyword

Function: parseKeyword()

parseKeyword(value): ColorRGBA | undefined

Defined in: packages/core/src/color/keywords.ts:178

Parses a CSS named color into an RGBA tuple, tolerating any casing and surrounding whitespace.

Unlike the format parsers this returns undefined rather than throwing, because a keyword cannot be recognised by shape — an unknown name is indistinguishable from a name of a color space Ripl does not implement.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
value	string	The color keyword, e.g. red, REBECCAPURPLE, or transparent.

Returns

ColorRGBA | undefined

The RGBA tuple, or undefined when the name is not a CSS color keyword.
