react-native-sketch-canvas

A React Native component for drawing by touching on both iOS and Android.

With api fix for build.gradle and support of deprecated viewproptypes

    
    

Features

  • Support iOS and Android
  • Stroke thickness and color are changable while drawing.
  • Can undo strokes one by one.
  • Can serialize path data to JSON. So it can sync other devices or someone else and continue to edit.
  • Save drawing to a non-transparent image (png or jpg) or a transparent image (png only)
  • Use vector concept. So sketches won't be cropped in different sizes of canvas.
  • Support translucent colors and eraser.
  • Support drawing on an image (Thanks to diego-caceres-galvan)
  • High performance (See below. Thanks to jeanregisser)
  • Can draw multiple canvases in the same screen.
  • Can draw multiple multiline text on canvas.

Installation

Install from npm (only support RN >= 0.40)

npm install @terrylinla/react-native-sketch-canvas --save

Link native code

react-native link @terrylinla/react-native-sketch-canvas

Usage

● Using without UI component (for customizing UI)

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import {
  AppRegistry,
  StyleSheet,
  View,
} from 'react-native';

import { SketchCanvas } from '@terrylinla/react-native-sketch-canvas';

export default class example extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <View style={styles.container}>
        <View style={{ flex: 1, flexDirection: 'row' }}>
          <SketchCanvas
            style={{ flex: 1 }}
            strokeColor={'red'}
            strokeWidth={7}
          />
        </View>
      </View>
    );
  }
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1, justifyContent: 'center', alignItems: 'center', backgroundColor: '#F5FCFF',
  },
});

AppRegistry.registerComponent('example', () => example);

Properties

Prop Type Description
style object Styles to be applied on canvas component
strokeColor string Set the color of stroke, which can be #RRGGBB or #RRGGBBAA. If strokeColor is set to #00000000, it will automatically become an eraser.
NOTE: Once an eraser path is sent to Android, Android View will disable hardware acceleration automatically. It might reduce the canvas performance afterward.
strokeWidth number The thickness of stroke
onStrokeStart function An optional function which accpets 2 arguments x and y. Called when user's finger touches the canvas (starts to draw)
onStrokeChanged function An optional function which accpets 2 arguments x and y. Called when user's finger moves
onStrokeEnd function An optional function called when user's finger leaves the canvas (end drawing)
onSketchSaved function An optional function which accpets 2 arguments success and path. If success is true, image is saved successfully and the saved image path might be in second argument. In Android, image path will always be returned. In iOS, image is saved to camera roll or file system, path will be set to null or image location respectively.
onPathsChange function An optional function which accpets 1 argument pathsCount, which indicates the number of paths. Useful for UI controls. (Thanks to toblerpwn)
user string An identifier to identify who draws the path. Useful when undo between two users
touchEnabled bool If false, disable touching. Default is true.
localSourceImage object Require an object (see below) which consists of filename, directory(optional) and mode(optional). If set, the image will be loaded and display as a background in canvas. (Thanks to diego-caceres-galvan))(Here for details)
permissionDialogTitle string Android Only: Provide a Dialog Title for the Image Saving PermissionDialog. Defaults to empty string if not set
permissionDialogMessage string Android Only: Provide a Dialog Message for the Image Saving PermissionDialog. Defaults to empty string if not set

Methods

Method Description
clear() Clear all the paths
undo() Delete the latest path. Can undo multiple times.
addPath(path) Add a path (see below) to canvas.
deletePath(id) Delete a path with its id
save(imageType, transparent, folder, filename, includeImage, cropToImageSize) Save image to camera roll or filesystem. If localSourceImage is set and a background image is loaded successfully, set includeImage to true to include background image and set cropToImageSize to true to crop output image to background image.
Android: Save image in imageType format with transparent background (if transparent sets to True) to /sdcard/Pictures/folder/filename (which is Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES).
iOS: Save image in imageType format with transparent background (if transparent sets to True) to camera roll or file system. If folder and filename are set, image will save to temporary directory/folder/filename (which is NSTemporaryDirectory())
getPaths() Get the paths that drawn on the canvas
getBase64(imageType, transparent, includeImage, cropToImageSize, callback) Get the base64 of image and receive data in callback function, which called with 2 arguments. First one is error (null if no error) and second one is base64 result.

Background Image

To use an image as background, localSourceImage(see below) reqires an object, which consists of filename, directory(optional) and mode(optional).
Note: Because native module cannot read the file in JS bundle, file path cannot be relative to JS side. For example, '../assets/image/image.png' will fail to load image.

Typical Usage

  • Load image from app native bundle

* Android: 1. Put your images into android/app/src/main/res/drawable. 2. Set `filename` to the name of image files with or without file extension. 3. Set `directory` to ''
* iOS: 1. Open Xcode and add images to project by right clicking `Add Files to [YOUR PROJECT NAME]`. 2. Set `filename` to the name of image files with file extension. 3. Set `directory` to MAIN_BUNDLE (e.g. RNSketchCanvas.MAIN_BUNDLE or SketchCanvas.MAIN_BUNDLE) * Load image from camera 1. Retrive photo complete path (including file extension) after snapping. 2. Set `filename` to that path. 3. Set `directory` to ''

Content Mode

  • AspectFill

* AspectFit (default)

* ScaleToFill

  font: '',
  fontSize: 20,
  fontColor: 'red',
  overlay: 'TextOnSketch',
  anchor: { x: 0, y: 1 },
  position: { x: 100, y: 200 },

Options: Absolute, Ratio		 Absolute
alignment? string Specify how the text aligns inside container. Only work when text is multiline text. Left
lineHeightMultiple? number Multiply line height by this factor. Only work when text is multiline text. 1.0

Performance

  1. For non-transparent path, both Android and iOS performances are good. Because when drawing non-transparent path, only last segment is drawn on canvas, no matter how long the path is, CPU usage is stable at about 20% and 15% in Android and iOS respectively.
  2. For transparent path, CPU usage stays at around 25% in Android, however, in iOS, CPU usage grows to 100% :(.

Example

The source code includes 3 examples, using build-in UI components, using with only canvas, and sync between two canvases.
