About this

React Native library for capturing signature

User would sign on the app and when you press the save button it returns the base64 encoded png

iOS

Android

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
saveFilePath : Path where the image will be saved if saveImageFileInExtStorage is true. Only works on Android
fileName : Name of the signature image file if saved to external storage. Only works on Android
showNativeButtons : If this props is made to true, it will display the native buttons "Save" and "Reset".
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

Methods

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