Last Updated : 11 Oct, 2022

Angular PrimeNG is an open-source framework with a rich set of native Angular UI components that are used for great styling and this framework is used to make responsive websites with very much ease. This article will show us how to use the Angular PrimeNG Form ColorPicker Overlay and Inline Component.

The ColorPicker Component is used to take input of color from the user. In the inline color picker, the color selection box is shown to the user but in overlay mode, the color picker overlay appears when the user selects the colored div.

Angular PrimeNG Form ColorPicker Overlay and Inline Properties:

inline: If this property is set to true, the color picker will be shown in inline mode otherwise it is shown in overlay mode.
ngModel: This is an angular directive used to bind a value with a color picker.

Syntax:

// Inline:
<p-colorPicker [(ngModel)]="..." 
    [inline]="true">
</p-colorPicker>

// Overlay:
<p-colorPicker [(ngModel)]="..."></p-colorPicker>
