extendHex

JS TODO

Extends a 3-digit color code to a 6-digit color code.

Use Array.prototype.map(), String.prototype.split() and Array.prototype.join() to join the mapped array for converting a 3-digit RGB notated hexadecimal color-code to the 6-digit form. Array.prototype.slice() is used to remove # from string start since it's added once.

const extendHex = (shortHex) =>
  "#" +
  shortHex
    .slice(shortHex.startsWith("#") ? 1 : 0)
    .split("")
    .map((x) => x + x)
    .join("");
extendHex("#03f"); // '#0033ff'
extendHex("05a"); // '#0055aa'
