<h2>Add a tldraw canvas to your React app in just 5 minutes.</h2>
The tldraw SDK provides a really simple way to craft infinite canvas experiences for the web. It's perfect for collaborative applications, productivity tools, interfacing with multi-modal AI, and more.
By the end of this guide you will have made something that looks like this:
<Embed className="article__embed--quickstart" src="https://vite-template-five.vercel.app/" />
<hr />
<ol className="ordered-list__quickstart">
<li>
### Installation
- Set up a React project however you normally do. [We recommend Vite](https://vitejs.dev/guide/#scaffolding-your-first-vite-project).
- Install the tldraw library using this command:
```bash
npm install @tldraw/tldraw@beta
```
</li>
<li>
### Import Styles
<br />
To import fonts and CSS for tldraw:
- Create or edit a css file called `index.css`
- Copy and paste this into the file:
```CSS
@import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Inter:wght@400;500;700&family=Roboto+Mono:wght@400;700&display=swap");
@import url("@tldraw/tldraw/tldraw.css");
body {
font-family: "Inter";
}
```
</li>
<li>
### Render Tldraw Component
<br />
To render the Tldraw component
- Import the `<Tldraw />` component from `@tldraw/tldraw`
- Import the `index.css` CSS file from earlier
- Wrap the Tldraw component in a `<div>` element with the style attribute set to: `{ position: 'fixed', inset: 0 }`
<p className="">This will render a full screen canvas:</p>
```javascript
import { Tldraw } from "@tldraw/tldraw";
import "./index.css";
export default function App() {
return (
<div style={{ position: 'fixed', inset: 0 }}>
<Tldraw />
</div>
);
}
```
</li>
</ol>
<hr />
### Next Steps
You did it! Now that you have your canvas working, you may be wondering: what next? You can try:
- Giving the editor a makeover by [customizing the UI](/docs/user-interface)
- Adding your own [shapes](/docs/shapes) and [tools](/docs/tools)
- Providing collaboration using [multiplayer](https://github.com/tldraw/tldraw-yjs-example)
We provide the above examples and more in our [examples section](/examples/basic/develop). Go build something creative and please do share it with us in our [#show-and-tell](https://discord.com/invite/SBBEVCA4PG) channel on Discord!
