```
## `tldraw`
The `Tldraw` React component is the [tldraw](https://tldraw.com) editor exported as a standalone component. You can control the editor through props, or through the `TldrawApp`'s imperative API. **All props are optional.**
| Prop | Type | Description |
| ----------------- | ------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `id` | `string` | An id under which to persist the component's state. |
| `document` | `TDDocument` | An initial [`TDDocument`](#TDDocument) object. |
| `currentPageId` | `string` | A current page id, referencing the `TDDocument` object provided via the `document` prop. |
| `autofocus` | `boolean` | Whether the editor should immediately receive focus. Defaults to true. |
| `showMenu` | `boolean` | Whether to show the menu. |
| `showPages` | `boolean` | Whether to show the pages menu. |
| `showStyles` | `boolean` | Whether to show the styles menu. |
| `showTools` | `boolean` | Whether to show the tools. |
| `showUI` | `boolean` | Whether to show any UI other than the canvas. |
| `showSponsorLink` | `boolean` | Whether to show a sponsor link. |
| `onMount` | `Function` | Called when the editor first mounts, receiving the current `TldrawApp`. |
| `onPatch` | `Function` | Called when the state is updated via a patch. |
| `onCommand` | `Function` | Called when the state is updated via a command. |
| `onPersist` | `Function` | Called when the state is persisted after an action. |
| `onChange` | `Function` | Called when the `TldrawApp` updates for any reason. |
| `onUserChange` | `Function` | Called when the user's "presence" information changes. |
| `onUndo` | `Function` | Called when the `TldrawApp` updates after an undo. |
| `onRedo` | `Function` | Called when the `TldrawApp` updates after a redo. |
| `onSignIn` | `Function` | Called when the user selects Sign In from the menu. |
| `onSignOut` | `Function` | Called when the user selects Sign Out from the menu. |
| `onNewProject` | `Function` | Called when the user when the user creates a new project through the menu or through a keyboard shortcut. |
| `onSaveProject` | `Function` | Called when the user saves a project through the menu or through a keyboard shortcut. |
| `onSaveProjectAs` | `Function` | Called when the user saves a project as a new project through the menu or through a keyboard shortcut. |
| `onOpenProject` | `Function` | Called when the user opens new project through the menu or through a keyboard shortcut. |
> **Note**: For help with the file-related callbacks, see `useFileSystem`.
## `useFileSystem`
You can use the `useFileSystem` hook to get prepared callbacks for `onNewProject`, `onOpenProject`, `onSaveProject`, and `onSaveProjectAs`. These callbacks allow a user to save files via the [FileSystem](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/FileSystem) API.
```ts
import { Tldraw, useFileSystem } from '@tldraw/tldraw'
function App() {
const fileSystemEvents = useFileSystem()
return <Tldraw {...fileSystemEvents} />
}
```
## `TDDocument`
You can initialize or control the `<Tldraw>` component via its `document` property. A `TDDocument` is an object with three properties:
- `id` - A unique ID for this document
- `pages` - A table of `TDPage` objects
- `pageStates` - A table of `TLPageState` objects
- `version` - The document's version, used internally for migrations.
```ts
import { TDDocument, TldrawApp } from '@tldraw/tldraw'
const myDocument: TDDocument = {
id: 'doc',
version: TldrawApp.version,
pages: {
page1: {
id: 'page1',
shapes: {},
bindings: {},
},
},
pageStates: {
page1: {
id: 'page1',
selectedIds: [],
currentParentId: 'page1',
camera: {
point: [0, 0],
zoom: 1,
},
},
},
assets: {},
}
function App() {
return <Tldraw document={myDocument} />
}
```
**Tip:** The pages and pageStates in tldraw are objects containing `TLPage` and `TLPageState` objects from the [@tldraw/core](https://github.com/tldraw/core) library.
**Tip:** The `assets` in tldraw is a table of `TDAssets` (images and videos).
**Important:** In the `pages` object, each `TLPage` object must be keyed under its `id` property. Likewise, each `TLPageState` object must be keyed under its `id`. In addition, each `TLPageState` object must have an `id` that matches its corresponding page.
## Shapes
Your `TLPage` objects may include shapes: objects that fit one of the `TldrawShape` interfaces listed below. All `TldrawShapes` extends a common interface:
| Property | Type | Description |
| --------------------- | ------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `id` | `string` | A unique ID for the shape. |
| `name` | `string` | The shape's name. |
| `type` | `string` | The shape's type. |
| `parentId` | `string` | The ID of the shape's parent (a shape or its page). |
| `childIndex` | `number` | The shape's order within its parent's children, indexed from 1. |
| `point` | `number[]` | The `[x, y]` position of the shape. |
| `rotation` | `number[]` | (optional) The shape's rotation in radians. |
| `children` | `string[]` | (optional) The shape's child shape ids. |
| `handles` | `TDHandle{}` | (optional) A table of `TLHandle` objects. |
| `isLocked` | `boolean` | (optional) True if the shape is locked. |
| `isHidden` | `boolean` | (optional) True if the shape is hidden. |
| `isEditing` | `boolean` | (optional) True if the shape is currently editing. |
| `isGenerated` | `boolean` | (optional) True if the shape is generated. |
| `isAspectRatioLocked` | `boolean` | (optional) True if the shape's aspect ratio is locked. |
> **Important:** In order for re-ordering to work, a shape's `childIndex` values _must_ start from 1, not 0. The page or parent shape's "bottom-most" child should have a `childIndex` of 1.
The `ShapeStyle` object is a common style API for all shapes.
| Property | Type | Description |
| ---------- | ------------ | --------------------------------------- |
| `size` | `SizeStyle` | The size of the shape's stroke. |
| `dash` | `DashStyle` | The style of the shape's stroke. |
| `color` | `ColorStyle` | The shape's color. |
| `isFilled` | `boolean` | (optional) True if the shape is filled. |
### `DrawShape`
A hand-drawn line.
| Property | Type | Description |
| -------- | ------------ | ----------------------------------------- |
| `points` | `number[][]` | An array of points as `[x, y, pressure]`. |
#### `RectangleShape`
A rectangular shape.
| Property | Type | Description |
| -------- | ---------- | --------------------------------------- |
| `size` | `number[]` | The `[width, height]` of the rectangle. |
### `EllipseShape`
An elliptical shape.
| Property | Type | Description |
| -------- | ---------- | ----------------------------------- |
| `radius` | `number[]` | The `[x, y]` radius of the ellipse. |
### `ArrowShape`
An arrow that can connect shapes.
| Property | Type | Description |
| ------------- | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `handles` | `object` | An object with three `TLHandle` properties: `start`, `end`, and `bend`. |
| `decorations` | `object` | An object with two properties `start`, `end`, and `bend`. |
### `TextShape`
A line of text.
| Property | Type | Description |
| -------- | -------- | ------------------------- |
| `text` | `string` | The shape's text content. |
### `StickyShape`
A sticky note.
| Property | Type | Description |
| -------- | -------- | ------------------------- |
| `text` | `string` | The shape's text content. |
## Bindings
A binding is a connection **from** one shape and **to** another shape. At the moment, only arrows may be bound "from". Most shapes may be bound "to", except other `ArrowShape` and `DrawShape`s.
| Property | Type | Description |
| ---------- | ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| `id` | `string` | The binding's own unique ID. |
| `fromId` | `string` | The id of the `ArrowShape` that the binding is bound to. |

| `handleId` | `start` or `end` | The connected arrow handle. |
| `distance` | `number` | The distance from the bound point. |
| `point` | `number[]` | A normalized point representing the bound point. |
## `TldrawApp` API
You can change the `tldraw` component's state through an imperative API called `TldrawApp`. To access this API, use the `onMount` callback, or any of the component's callback props, like `onPersist`.
```tsx
import { Tldraw, TldrawApp } from '@tldraw/tldraw'
function App() {
const handleMount = React.useCallback((app: TldrawApp) => {
app.selectAll()
}, [])
return <Tldraw onMount={handleMount} />
}
```
To view the full documentation of the `TldrawApp` API, generate the project's documentation by running `yarn docs` from the root folder, then open the file at:
```
