How do I implement the WordPress Iris picker into my plugin on the front-end?

by

This drove me mad for a while, but I got it to work by adding them with the full arguments that are used in the admin script loader rather than just referencing the handle. When I print the $wp_scripts global on the front end, iris and wp-color-picker are nowhere to be found, though all of their jQuery UI dependencies work. Anyway, not sure this is right, but it gets the job done:

function wpa82718_scripts() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'wp-color-picker' );
    wp_enqueue_script(
        'iris',
        admin_url( 'js/iris.min.js' ),
        array( 'jquery-ui-draggable', 'jquery-ui-slider', 'jquery-touch-punch' ),
        false,
        1
    );
    wp_enqueue_script(
        'wp-color-picker',
        admin_url( 'js/color-picker.min.js' ),
        array( 'iris' ),
        false,
        1
    );
    $colorpicker_l10n = array(
        'clear' => __( 'Clear' ),
        'defaultString' => __( 'Default' ),
        'pick' => __( 'Select Color' ),
        'current' => __( 'Current Color' ),
    );
    wp_localize_script( 'wp-color-picker', 'wpColorPickerL10n', $colorpicker_l10n ); 

}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wpa82718_scripts', 100 );
