I am doing an exercise where I create a background gradient generator. I put colors in the inputs and it creates a gradient from left to right using the two colors. It works fine so far but now I have a button that randomly generates an RGB color but I can't figure out how to apply it to the background gradient. I know the button works because I have console.log'd it and it spits out two separate rgb colors.
var css = document.querySelector("h3");
var color1 = document.querySelector(".color1");
var color2 = document.querySelector(".color2");
var body = document.getElementById("gradient");
var button1 = document.querySelector(".button1");
function setGradient() {
body.style.background =
"linear-gradient(to right, " +
color1.value +
", " +
color2.value +
")";
css.textContent = body.style.background + ";";
}
function randomColorGenerator() {
var color1 = "rgb" + "(" + (Math.floor(Math.random() * 255) +
", " +
Math.floor(Math.random() * 255) +
", " +
Math.floor(Math.random() * 255) +
")" + ";");
var color2 = "rgb" + "(" + (Math.floor(Math.random() * 255) +
", " +
Math.floor(Math.random() * 255) +
", " +
Math.floor(Math.random() * 255) +
")" + ";");
}
color1.addEventListener("input", setGradient);
color2.addEventListener("input", setGradient);
button1.addEventListener("click", randomColorGenerator);
<body id="gradient" onload="setGradient()">
<h1>Background Generator</h1>
<input class="color1" type="color" name="color1" value="#00ff00">
<input class="color2" type="color" name="color2" value="#ff0000">

<button class='button1'>Random Color</button>

</body>
Note: You many want to loop the second color in case you get the same value
const rgbToHex = rgb => '#' + (rgb.match(/[0-9|.]+/g).map((x, i) => i === 3 ? parseInt(255 * parseFloat(x)).toString(16) : parseInt(x).toString(16)).join('')).padStart(2, '0').toUpperCase();
var css = document.querySelector("h3");
var color1 = document.querySelector(".color1");
var color2 = document.querySelector(".color2");
var body = document.getElementById("gradient");
var button1 = document.querySelector(".button1");
function setGradient() {
body.style.background =
"linear-gradient(to right, " +
color1.value +
", " +
color2.value +
")";
css.textContent = body.style.background + ";";
}
function randomColorGenerator() {
var col1 = "rgb" + "(" + (Math.floor(Math.random() * 255) +

Math.floor(Math.random() * 255) +

var col2 = "rgb" + "(" + (Math.floor(Math.random() * 255) +

console.log(col1)
color1.value=rgbToHex(col1)
color2.value=rgbToHex(col2)
console.log(color1.value,color2.value)
setGradient()
}
color1.addEventListener("input", setGradient);
