ColorPicker PHP Class Overview

The Kendo UI ColorPicker for PHP is a server-side wrapper for the Kendo UI ColorPicker widget.

Getting Started

Configuration

Below are listed the steps for you to follow when configuring the Kendo UI ColorPicker for PHP.

Step 1 Make sure you followed all the steps from the introductory article on Telerik UI for PHP—include the autoloader, JavaScript, and CSS files.

Step 2 Create a ColorPicker.

<?php
$colorpicker = new \Kendo\UI\ColorPicker('colorpicker');
$colorpicker->value('#ff0000');
?>

Step 3 Output the ColorPicker by echoing the result of the render method.

<?php
echo $colorpicker->render();
?>

Event Handling

You can subscribe to all ColorPicker events.

Specify Function Names

The example below demonstrates how to subscribe for events by specifying a JavaScript function name.

<?php $colorpicker = new \Kendo\UI\ColorPicker('colorpicker');

// The 'colorpicker_change' JavaScript function will handle the 'change' event of the colorpicker
$colorpicker->change('colorpicker_change');

echo $colorpicker->render();
?>
<script>
function colorpicker_change() {
    // Handle the change event
}
</script>

Provide Inline Code

The example below demonstrates how to subscribe to events by providing inline JavaScript code.

<?php
$colorpicker = new \Kendo\UI\ColorPicker('colorpicker');

// Provide inline JavaScript code that will handle the 'change' event of the colorpicker
$colorpicker->change('function() { /* Handle the change event */ }');

echo $colorpicker->render();
?>

Reference

Client-Side Instances

You are able to reference an existing ColorPicker instance via the jQuery.data(). Once a reference is established, use the ColorPicker API to control its behavior.

<?php
$colorpicker = new \Kendo\UI\ColorPicker('colorpicker');
echo $colorpicker->render();
?>
<script>
$(function() {
    // The constructor parameter is used as the 'id' HTML attribute of the colorpicker
    var colorpicker = $("#colorpicker").data("kendoColorPicker")
});
</script>
