Proposed changes

Removes the unmaintained color2k dependency and replaces its only usage with a small, local utility function for applying alpha to colors.

The new utility supports rgb, rgba, and hex color formats and preserves existing behavior while improving maintainability.

expected App reduced size 7.1kb

Issue(s)

How to test or reproduce

  1. Open a screen that renders message attachments with colored quotes (collapsible quote attachments).
  2. Verify background and border colors render correctly with transparency.
  3. Run unit tests:
   yarn test withAlpha

Walkthrough

Adds a default-exported helper withAlpha(color, transparency = 0) with tests, swaps transparentize for withAlpha in a CollapsibleQuote component, and removes the color2k dependency from package.json.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
New Color Utility & Tests
app/lib/helpers/withAlpha.ts, app/lib/helpers/withAlpha.test.ts
Adds withAlpha(color, transparency = 0) to apply/normalize alpha for rgba, rgb, and hex formats (short, full, with-alpha); unsupported formats return unchanged. Includes unit tests for rgba, rgb, short hex, full hex, hex-with-alpha, named color, and hsl cases.
Component Integration
app/containers/message/Components/Attachments/CollapsibleQuote/index.tsx
Replaces transparentize import/call with withAlpha(attachment.color, 0.8); updates comment about supported color formats (rgba, rgb, hex).
Dependency Update
package.json
Removes the color2k runtime dependency.

Poem

🐰 I nudged the hues with nimble paws tonight,
A whisper of alpha, subtle and light,
One fewer crate to hop along,
Colors hum a softer song,
Hoppity code and carrot bright. 🥕

specifically delete the console.log(attachment.color) and
console.log(backgroundColor) lines around the backgroundColor =

153-153: Remove redundant no-op assignment.

The statement fontSecondaryInfo = fontSecondaryInfo; assigns the variable to itself and serves no purpose.

🔎 Proposed fix
 				strokeExtraLight = attachment.color;
 				strokeLight = attachment.color;
 				strokeMedium = attachment.color;
-				fontSecondaryInfo = fontSecondaryInfo;

app/lib/helpers/withAlpha.test.ts (1)

1-23: Good test coverage for core functionality.

The tests comprehensively cover the main supported color formats (rgba, rgb, and hex variants). The alpha conversion values are mathematically correct (0.8 × 255 = 204 = 0xcc).

Consider adding edge case tests to improve robustness:

  • Alpha boundary values: withAlpha('#ff0000', 0) and withAlpha('#ff0000', 1)
  • Invalid/malformed inputs: withAlpha('invalid', 0.5), withAlpha('', 0.5)
  • Unsupported formats that should return unchanged: withAlpha('red', 0.5), withAlpha('hsl(0, 100%, 50%)', 0.5)
  • Case sensitivity: withAlpha('RGB(255, 0, 0)', 0.8)
🔎 Example additional tests
test('returns color unchanged for named colors', () => {
	expect(withAlpha('red', 0.8)).toBe('red');
});

test('returns color unchanged for hsl format', () => {
	expect(withAlpha('hsl(0, 100%, 50%)', 0.8)).toBe('hsl(0, 100%, 50%)');
});

test('handles alpha of 0', () => {
	expect(withAlpha('#ff0000', 0)).toBe('#ff000000');
});

test('handles alpha of 1', () => {
	expect(withAlpha('#ff0000', 1)).toBe('#ff0000ff');
});
app/lib/helpers/withAlpha.ts (3)

35-44: Consider case-insensitive matching for rgb format.

Similar to the rgba case, the rgb format should also handle case-insensitive input for better robustness.

🔎 Proposed fix for case-insensitive matching
 	// case rgb
-	if (color.startsWith('rgb')) {
-		const match = color.match(/rgb\(\s*(\d+)\s*,\s*(\d+)\s*,\s*(\d+)\s*\)/);
+	if (color.toLowerCase().startsWith('rgb')) {
+		const match = color.match(/rgb\(\s*(\d+)\s*,\s*(\d+)\s*,\s*(\d+)\s*\)/i);

47-70: Consider validating hex characters and alpha range.

The current implementation doesn't validate:

  1. Whether the hex string contains only valid hex characters ([0-9a-fA-F])
  2. Whether the alpha value is within the expected 0-1 range

While the current implementation works for valid inputs, these validations would make it more robust against invalid data.

🔎 Proposed enhancements
 	// case hex
 	if (color.startsWith('#')) {
 		let hex = color.slice(1);
 
 		// #rgb → #rrggbb
 		if (hex.length === 3) {
 			hex = hex
 				.split('')
 				.map(c => c + c)
 				.join('');
 		}
 
 		if (hex.length === 8) {
 			hex = hex.substring(0, 6);
 		}
 		if (hex.length !== 6) {
 			return color;
 		}
+		
+		// Validate hex characters
+		if (!/^[0-9a-fA-F]{6}$/.test(hex)) {
+			return color;
+		}
 
+		// Clamp alpha to valid range
+		const clampedAlpha = Math.max(0, Math.min(1, alpha));
-		const alphaHex = Math.round(alpha * 255)
+		const alphaHex = Math.round(clampedAlpha * 255)
 			.toString(16)
 			.padStart(2, '0');
 
 		return `#${hex}${alphaHex}`;
 	}

23-32: Consider case-insensitive matching for rgba and rgb formats if handling external/user input.

While CSS color function names are technically case-insensitive per specification, the current implementation only matches lowercase rgba and rgb. The codebase currently uses only lowercase variants, and tests cover only lowercase patterns. However, if this function is designed to handle color strings from external or user input sources, case-insensitive matching would make it more robust.

To implement: Use .toLowerCase() on the startsWith() checks and add the i flag to both regex patterns for case-insensitive matching.

15-15: LGTM!

The import statement correctly brings in the new local withAlpha utility that replaces the external color2k dependency.

app/lib/helpers/withAlpha.ts (3)

1-16: LGTM!

The JSDoc is clear, comprehensive, and properly documents supported and unsupported formats with examples.


17-20: LGTM!

The function signature and empty color guard are appropriate. The default alpha value of 1 is sensible for full opacity.


76-76: LGTM!

The default export follows the module pattern used elsewhere in the codebase.

145-155: Incorrect alpha value causes visual regression.

Based on your own explanation in the PR comments, the alpha value should be 0.2, not 0.8:

  • transparentize(color, 0.8) = 80% transparent → 20% opacity
  • withAlpha(color, 0.8) = 80% opacity (current code - incorrect)
  • withAlpha(color, 0.2) = 20% opacity (correct replacement)

The current implementation will render backgrounds at 80% opacity instead of the intended 20%, making them significantly more opaque than before.

🐛 Proposed fix
 		try {
 			if (attachment.color) {
-				backgroundColor = withAlpha(attachment.color, 0.8); // works for rgba, rgb, hex (`#rgb`, `#rrggbb`)
+				backgroundColor = withAlpha(attachment.color, 0.2); // works for rgba, rgb, hex (`#rgb`, `#rrggbb`)
 				strokeExtraLight = attachment.color;
 				strokeLight = attachment.color;
 				strokeMedium = attachment.color;
