react-native-sketch-view

A React Native component for touch based drawing supporting iOS and Android. Inspired by the libraries react-native-sketch, react-native-signature-capture.

This component was written to fulfill the following use cases:

  1. Basic Touch based drawing for both iOS and android.
  2. Shouldn't include any UI Elements for interaction. The UI Elements can be created and customized in react native.
  3. Support touch drawing, erasing of part of drawing, clearing drawing, saving of drawn images locally and opening of locally saved images.

Getting Started

  1. $ npm install react-native-sketch-view --save or $ yarn add react-native-sketch-view
  2. $ react-native link react-native-sketch-view
  3. For iOS, open Application Project in Xcode and find RNSketchView project under Libraries Folder.
    • Drag SketchViewContainer.xib into your application project, adding a folder reference instead of copying.

Usage

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import {
    View,
    Text,
    TouchableHighlight
} from 'react-native';
import SketchView from 'react-native-sketch-view';

const sketchViewConstants = SketchView.constants;

const tools = {};

tools[sketchViewConstants.toolType.pen.id] = {
    id: sketchViewConstants.toolType.pen.id,
    name: sketchViewConstants.toolType.pen.name,
    nextId: sketchViewConstants.toolType.eraser.id
};
tools[sketchViewConstants.toolType.eraser.id] = {
    id: sketchViewConstants.toolType.eraser.id,
    name: sketchViewConstants.toolType.eraser.name,
    nextId: sketchViewConstants.toolType.pen.id
};

class HandNote extends Component {

    constructor(props) {

        this.state = {
            toolSelected: sketchViewConstants.toolType.pen.id
        };
    }

    isEraserToolSelected() {
        return this.state.toolSelected === sketchViewConstants.toolType.eraser.id;
    }

    toolChangeClick() {
        this.setState({toolSelected: tools[this.state.toolSelected].nextId});
    }

    getToolName() {
        return tools[this.state.toolSelected].name;
    }

    onSketchSave(saveEvent) {
        this.props.onSave && this.props.onSave(saveEvent);
    }

    render() {

                selectedTool={this.state.toolSelected} 
                onSaveSketch={this.onSketchSave.bind(this)}
                localSourceImagePath={this.props.localSourceImagePath}/>

                <View style={{ flexDirection: 'row', backgroundColor: '#EEE'}}>
                    <TouchableHighlight underlayColor={"#CCC"} style={{ flex: 1, alignItems: 'center', paddingVertical:20 }} onPress={() => { this.refs.sketchRef.clearSketch() }}>

                        <Text style={{color:'#888',fontWeight:'600'}}>SAVE</Text>
                    </TouchableHighlight>
                    <TouchableHighlight underlayColor={"#CCC"} style={{ flex: 1, justifyContent:'center', alignItems: 'center', backgroundColor:this.isEraserToolSelected() ? "#CCC" : "rgba(0,0,0,0)" }} onPress={this.toolChangeClick.bind(this)}>
                        <Text style={{color:'#888',fontWeight:'600'}}>ERASER</Text>
