yii2-widget-colorinput
======================

The ColorInput widget is an advanced ColorPicker input styled for Bootstrap. It uses a combination of the HTML5 color input and/or the [JQuery Spectrum Plugin](http://bgrins.github.io/spectrum) for rendering the color picker. You can use the Native HTML5 color input by setting the `useNative` option to `true`. Else, the Spectrum plugin polyfills for unsupported browser versions.

* Specially styled for Bootstrap 3.0 with customizable caption showing the output of the control.
* Ability to prepend and append addons.
* Allow the input to be changed both via the control or the text box.
* The Spectrum plugin automatically polyfills the `HTML5 color input` for unsupported browser versions.

The split has been done since 08-Nov-2014 to allow developers to install this specific widget in isolation if needed.
