Methods

There are some useful methods that you should use from the outside to help you develop your drawingboard:

• useEreaser(): tells the board to use a white brush. It doesn't override the color that was set through the prop.
• useBrush(): tells the board to use a brush with the color set in the color prop.

Using the two methods above, you can switch from ereaser to brush without having to select a white brush manually.

• clearBoard(): tells the board to reset its background to white.

Events

• drawing: the component emits this event when someone is drawing on the canvas.
• cleared: the component emits this event when the board has been cleared.

Cloudinary.js

Cloudinary.js is an utility library structured as a Promise, made to help you to connect to the cloudinary API. It provides only one method, the UPLOAD method.

import { cloudinary } from 'vue-drawingboard'

cloudinary.upload(your_image, your_cloudinary_cloudname, your_cloudinary_upload_preset);
