I'm having trouble getting functions from these (css) color libs, working within hlisp.... https://github.com/noprompt/garden/wiki/Color#introduction https://github.com/thi-ng/color#example-usage

They work fine inside a garden.clj file, but not in my .hl file (inside a defelem....?)

I've tried (div :css (cell= {:background-color (color/hsl 0 50 50)})) to no avail for [garden.color :as color]

Any suggestions?

@chromalchemy: I dont see any cell’s in your formula cell

Do I need to use cells to run the (color/hsl) function as an attribute value, even if it doesn't vary at runtime?

no

formula cells are for changing attribute values when a cell gets a value change

I was trying the functions within a defelem (which I am using for html fragments), maybe that was the problem?

..but that should be able to work no? Setting up a custom element with attributes derived from other functions...

yes, i dont know that the :css attribute works that way tho

i have only ever used it for class names

I would convert your css to a string and use it for a :style attribute

:style (clojure.string/join [“background-color:” (color/hsl 0 50 50) “;"])

im sure there are better ways

Thanks, I'll try that! Can you use that approach with a map of multiple rules?

all you are doing is appending to a string with that approach, you can add as many segments as you like

Ok, thanks again, I'll play around with that.

btw do I need to attest to some kind of contributor agreement?

nope
