How it works

You have 2 options

Use DrawWithOptions provided by the lib

Fast and easy way to use the lib. Example :

  <DrawWithOptions
    linearGradient={LinearGradient}
    image={require('./pexels-sebastian-palomino-2847766.jpg')}
    close={() => true}
    takeSnapshot={(snap) => {
      snap.then((uri) => console.log('snapShot uri:', uri));
    }}
  />

Use your own "DrawWithOptions" component

You can create your own "DrawWithOptions" component and customize the ui.

You will need to use DrawCore component wrapped in DrawProvider context.

<DrawProvider>
  <DrawCore image={require('./pexels-sebastian-palomino-2847766.jpg')}/>
</DrawProvider>

Then you can use the hook "useDrawHook" inside your components to interact with the context. This hook expose a lot of functions and objects that can be used to interact with the DrawCore.

  const {
    drawState,
    dispatchDrawStates,
    itemIsSelected,
    cancelLastAction,
    deleteSelectedItem,
    ...
  } = useDrawHook();

useDrawHook

Name	Type	Description
strokeWidth	shared value(number)	Object from react-native-reanimated, get and set value => strokeWidth.value
color	shared value(hslColor)	Object from react-native-reanimated, get and set value => color.value
onColorStrokeChange	function	Function use when changing color or strokeWidth is done to memorize action for undo
drawState	object	Get the selected drawingMode : 'singleHead','doubleHead','rectangle','ellipse','text','pen', cancelEnabled is true when last action can be canceled, doneItems contains all previous draw items and screenStates helps to go back in time (cancel pops last state)
dispatchDrawStates	function	Can be used to update drawingMode
itemIsSelected	shared value(boolean)	Object from react-native-reanimated Indicate if an item is selected, to get value => itemIsSelected.value
cancelLastAction	function	Call this function when user press your undo button

Copy the drawWithOptions component, sliders component and adjust styles to match your theme
