Install

First you need to install react-native-signature-capture:

npm install react-native-signature-capture --save

Second you need to link react-native-signature-capture:

react-native link react-native-signature-capture

Use above react-native link command to automatically complete the installation, or link manually like so:

iOS

In the XCode's "Project navigator", right click on your project's Libraries folder ➜ Add Files to <...>
Go to node_modules ➜ react-native-signature-capture ➜ ios ➜ select RSSignatureCapture.xcodeproj
Add libRSSignatureCapture.a to Build Phases -> Link Binary With Libraries
Compile and have fun

Android

Add these lines in your file: android/settings.gradle

...

include ':reactnativesignaturecapture',':app'
project(':reactnativesignaturecapture').projectDir = new File(settingsDir, '../node_modules/react-native-signature-capture/android')

Add line in your file: android/app/build.gradle

...

dependencies {
    ...
    compile project(':reactnativesignaturecapture') // <-- add this line
}

Add import and line in your file: android/app/src/main/java/<...>/MainApplication.java

...

import com.rssignaturecapture.RSSignatureCapturePackage; // <-- add this import

public class MainApplication extends Application implements ReactApplication {

    private final ReactNativeHost mReactNativeHost = new ReactNativeHost(this) {

        @Override
        protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
            return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
                new MainReactPackage(),
                new RSSignatureCapturePackage() // <-- add this line
            );
        }
  }

...
}

Usage

Then you can use SignatureCapture component in your react-native's App, like this:

...
import React, {Component} from 'react';
import SignatureCapture from 'react-native-signature-capture';

class CustomComponent extends Component {

  ...
  render() {
    return (
      <SignatureCapture
        {...someProps}
      />
    );
  }
}

Properties

saveImageFileInExtStorage : Make this props true, if you want to save the image file in external storage. Default is false. Warning: Image file will be visible in gallery or any other image browsing app
showBorder : If this props is made to false, it will hide the dashed border (the border is shown on iOS only).
showNativeButtons : If this props is made to true, it will display the native buttons "Save" and "Reset".
showTitleLabel : If this props is made to true, it will display the "x_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _" placeholder indicating where to sign.
viewMode : "portrait" or "landscape" change the screen orientation based on boolean value
maxSize : sets the max size of the image maintains aspect ratio, default is 500
minStrokeWidth : sets the min stroke line width (Android only)
maxStrokeWidth : sets the max stroke line width (Android only)
backgroundColor: Sets the background color of the component. Defaults to white. May be 'transparent'.
strokeColor: Sets the color of the signature. Defaults to black.

Methods

saveImage() : when called it will save the image and returns the base 64 encoded string on onSaveEvent() callback
resetImage() : when called it will clear the image on the canvas

Callback Props

onSaveEvent : Triggered when saveImage() is called, which return Base64 Encoded String and image file path.
onDragEvent : Triggered when user marks his signature on the canvas. This will not be called when the user does not perform any action on canvas.
