React Paint V0.11.7

An open-source canvas-based library for React used for image annotation or as a digital whiteboard

Features

Quick start

npm i @yorab/react-paint

Note : react-paint needs react and react-dom packages to work properly

Usage

Basic usage

import { Canvas, Editor, useReactPaint } from '@yorab/react-paint'

const BasicUsage = () => {
  const { editorProps, canvasProps } = useReactPaint()

  return (
    <Editor editorProps={editorProps}>
      <Canvas canvasProps={canvasProps} />
    </Editor>
  )
}

Advanced usage

import { useEffect, useState } from 'react'
import { Canvas, Editor, useReactPaint, type DrawableShape, type StateData } from '@yorab/react-paint'

const SHAPES_INIT = [
  {
    type: 'rect',
    x: 300,
    y: 300,
    width: 100,
    height: 200,
    rotation: 0,
    style: {
      fillColor: '#6a4e01',
      strokeColor: 'transparent',
      opacity: 100,
      lineWidth: 1,
      lineDash: 0,
      lineArrow: 0,
      pointsCount: 3,
      fontFamily: 'serif'
    }
  }
]

const AdvancedUsage = () => {
  const [shapes, setShapes] = useState<DrawableShape[] | undefined>(SHAPES_INIT) // keep shapes state for internal use

  const { editorProps, canvasProps, registerEvent, unregisterEvent } = useReactPaint({
    width: 1920,
    height: 1080,
    shapes,
    options: {
      canGrow: true,
      canShrink: true,
      brushAlgo: 'quadratic',
      clearCallback: 'defaultShapes'
    }
  })

  const editorOptions = {
    fontColor: '#2c1e69',
    fontHoverColor: '#0d0931'
  }

  const canvasOptions = {
    canvasBackgroundColor: '#ffffff'
  }

  useEffect(() => {
    const onDataChanged = (data: StateData, source: 'user' | 'remote') => {
      setShapes(data.shapes)
    }
    registerEvent('dataChanged', onDataChanged)
    
    return () => {
      unregisterEvent('dataChanged', onDataChanged)
    }
  }, [registerEvent, unregisterEvent])

  return (
    <Editor editorProps={editorProps} options={editorOptions}>
      <Canvas canvasProps={canvasProps} options={canvasOptions} />
    </Editor>
  )
}

Canvas height in px | 600 | | shapes | DrawableShape[] | Optional. Array of shapes used to init the canvas | undefined | | mode | editor\|viewer | Optional. editor lets you interact with the canvas and editor. viewer hides the editor and makes the canvas read-only| editor | | disabled | boolean | Optional. Global parameter used to prevent interaction with every element in the editor or canvas | false | | options | OptionalOptions | Optional.
