Vue Signature Canvas

Vue component wrap for signature pad

Installation

$ npm i vue-signature-canvas

Usage

import Vue from 'vue';
import VueSignatureCanvas from 'vue-signature-canvas';
 
Vue.use(VueSignatureCanvas);

<template>
  <div id="app">
    <VueSignatureCanvas
                    ref="handWrite"
                    :canvasProps="{class: 'sig-canvas'}"
    />
  </div>
</template>
<script>
import VueSignatureCanvas from "VueSignatureCanvas";
export default {
  name: 'FirstSignatureCanvas',
  methods: {
    
  },
  components: {
    VueSignatureCanvas
  }
};
</script>
<style lang="less" scoped>
    .sig-canvas {
        width: 100%;
        height: 100%;
        background-color: rgba(244,244,244,0);
        position: fixed;
        z-index: 9;
    }
</style>

Props

The props of SignatureCanvas mainly control the properties of the pen stroke used in drawing. All props are optional.

• velocityFilterWeight : number, default: 0.7
• minWidth : number, default: 0.5
• maxWidth : number, default: 2.5
• minDistance: number, default: 5
• dotSize : number or function, default: () => (this.minWidth + this.maxWidth) / 2
• penColor : string, default: 'black'
• throttle: number, default: 16

There are also two callbacks that will be called when a stroke ends and one begins, respectively.

• onEnd : function
• onBegin : function

Additional props are used to control the canvas element.

• canvasProps: object
  • directly passed to the underlying <canvas /> element
• backgroundColor : string, default: 'rgba(0,0,0,0)'
  • used in the API'sclear convenience method (which itself is called internally during resizes)
• clearOnResize: bool, default: true
  • whether or not the canvas should be cleared when the window resizes

Of these props, all, except for canvasProps and clearOnResize, are passed through to signature_pad as its options. signature_pad's internal state is automatically kept in sync with prop updates for you (via a componentDidUpdate hook).

API

All API methods require a ref to the SignatureCanvas in order to use and are instance methods of the ref.

• isEmpty() : boolean, self-explanatory
• clear() : void, clears the canvas using the backgroundColor prop
• fromDataURL(base64String, options) : void, writes a base64 image to canvas
• toDataURL(mimetype, encoderOptions): base64string, returns the signature image as a data URL
• fromData(pointGroupArray): void, draws signature image from an array of point groups
• toData(): pointGroupArray, returns signature image as an array of point groups
• off(): void, unbinds all event handlers
• on(): void, rebinds all event handlers
• getCanvas(): canvas, returns the underlying canvas ref. Allows you to modify the canvas however you want or call methods such as toDataURL()
• getTrimmedCanvas(): canvas, creates a copy of the canvas and returns a trimmed version of it, with all whitespace removed.
• getSignaturePad(): SignaturePad, returns the underlying SignaturePad reference.

The API methods are mostly just wrappers around signature_pad's API. on() and off() will, in addition, bind/unbind the window resize event handler. getCanvas(), getTrimmedCanvas(), and getSignaturePad() are new.
