Excalidraw is exported as a component to be directly embedded in your project.
Use npm
or yarn
to install the package.
npm install react react-dom @excalidraw/excalidraw
# or
yarn add react react-dom @excalidraw/excalidraw
Note: If you don't want to wait for the next stable release and try out the unreleased changes, use
@excalidraw/excalidraw@next
.
By default, Excalidraw will try to download all the used fonts from the CDN.
For self-hosting purposes, you'll have to copy the content of the folder node_modules/@excalidraw/excalidraw/dist/prod/fonts
to the path where your assets should be served from (i.e. public/
directory in your project). In that case, you should also set window.EXCALIDRAW_ASSET_PATH
to the very same path, i.e. /
in case it's in the root:
<script>window.EXCALIDRAW_ASSET_PATH = "/";</script>
Excalidraw takes 100% of width
and height
of the containing block so make sure the container in which you render Excalidraw has non zero dimensions.
