More exports. about d3-color

[curran]

Which variables in particular do you propose to export?

[Fil]

I've often wanted the list of css color names, which I usually copy by hand.

[curran]

So named could be exported, maybe as namedColors or something https://github.com/d3/d3-color/blob/master/src/color.js#L19

[Fil]

Except they are not in a digestible format. Easy enough to copy-paste I would say: https://observablehq.com/@fil/named-css-colors

Hi,
sorry for the delay in the answer.
@curran I would say namedColor is perfect.

Another thing I'm always copy and paste are the regex:

d3-color/src/color.js

Line 8 in 017a463

var reI = "\\s*([+-]?\\d+)\\s*",

Thanks @Fil for the observable link, but I would access it via npm (export from this package).

In the notebook one can use the menu "download json" on the left of the cell

and get

[["aliceblue","#f0f8ff"],["antiquewhite","#faebd7"],["aqua","#00ffff"],…

Hi! Sorry for the lag in this issue.
@Fil thanks for that but I would love to rely only on d3-color without external json.

Other then CSS color names I always copy&paste the regex.

I will be happy to make a PR with some more export. Do you think it will be ever a change to get merged?

Thanks.

d3.color can convert the names so all you need in fact is this string:

The requested pieces (the list of color names and the regular expressions used to parse) feel like internal implementation details and I am not in favor of exposing them. Thank you for the suggestion.
