You should instead use Fabricjs along with react-native-webview
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:
- Basic Touch based drawing for both iOS and android.
- Shouldn't include any UI Elements for interaction. The UI Elements can be created and customized in react native.
- Support touch drawing, erasing of part of drawing, clearing drawing, saving of drawn images locally and opening of locally saved images.
$ npm install react-native-sketch-view --save
or$ yarn add react-native-sketch-view
$ react-native link react-native-sketch-view
- For iOS, open Application Project in Xcode and find
RNSketchView
project underLibraries
Folder.- Drag
SketchViewContainer.xib
into your application project, adding a folder reference instead of copying.
- Drag

clearSketch()
- Clears the view.saveSketch()
- Initiates saving of sketch.changeTool(toolId)
- Changes selected tool.- Tool Id can be found using SketchView tooltype constants eg.
SketchView.constants.toolType.pen.id
- Tool Id can be found using SketchView tooltype constants eg.
- Pen -
SketchView.constants.toolType.pen
- Eraser -
SketchView.constants.toolType.eraser
selectedTool
- Set the tool id to be selected.localSourceImagePath
- Local file path of the image.onSaveSketch(saveArgs)
- Callback when saving is complete.saveArgs
Is an object having the following properties -localFilePath
- Local file path of the saved image.imageWidth
- Width of the saved image.imageHeight
- Height of the saved image.
