Installation

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

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

Usage

Import the TLDraw React component and use it in your app.

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.

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.

import { TLDraw, TLDrawDocument } from '@tldraw/tldraw'

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

  return <TLDraw document={document} />
}

Controlling the Component through the TLDrawState API

You can also control the TLDraw component imperatively through the TLDrawState API.

import { TLDraw, TLDrawState } from '@tldraw/tldraw'

function App() {
  const handleMount = React.useCallback((state: TLDrawState) => {
    state.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 TLDrawState section of the documentation 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 for more.

import { TLDraw, TLDrawState } from '@tldraw/tldraw'

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

  return <TLDraw onMount={handleMount} />
}
