## Installation

Use your package manager of choice to install `@tldraw/tldraw` and its peer dependencies.

```bash
yarn add @tldraw/tldraw
# or
npm i @tldraw/tldraw
```

## Usage

Import the `tldraw` React component and use it in your app.

```tsx
import { Tldraw } from '@tldraw/tldraw'

function App() {
  return <Tldraw />
}
```

### Persisting the State

You can use the `id` to persist the state in a user's browser storage.

```tsx
import { Tldraw } from '@tldraw/tldraw'

function App() {
  return <Tldraw id="myState" />
}
```

### Controlling the Component through Props

You can control the `<Tldraw/>` component through its props.

```tsx
import { Tldraw, TDDocument } from '@tldraw/tldraw'

function App() {
  const myDocument: TDDocument = {}

  return <Tldraw document={document} />
}
```

### Controlling the Component through the tldrawApp API

You can also control the `<Tldraw/>` component imperatively through the `TldrawApp` API.

```tsx
import { Tldraw, tldrawApp } from '@tldraw/tldraw'

function App() {
  const handleMount = React.useCallback((app: TldrawApp) => {
    app.selectAll()
  }, [])

  return <Tldraw onMount={handleMount} />
}
```

Internally, the `<Tldraw/>` component's user interface uses this API to make changes to the component's state. See the `tldrawApp` section of the [documentation](packages/tldraw/guides/documentation.md) for more on this API.

### Responding to Changes

You can respond to changes and user actions using the `onChange` callback. For more specific changes, you can also use the `onPatch`, `onCommand`, or `onPersist` callbacks. See the [documentation](packages/tldraw/guides/documentation.md) for more.

```tsx
import { Tldraw, TldrawApp } from '@tldraw/tldraw'

function App() {
  const handleChange = React.useCallback((app: TldrawApp, reason: string) => {
    // Do something with the change
  }, [])

  return <Tldraw onMount={handleMount} />
}
```
