Drawer

Create freehand drawings and insert them into the document.

Setup

Start with the packages in Getting Started. This complete example registers the feature and renders its UI. In an existing editor, merge the imports and extension entries into your setup, and place the controls inside your existing RichTextProvider.

tsx

'use client';

import { EditorContent, useEditor } from '@tiptap/react';
import { Document } from '@tiptap/extension-document';
import { Paragraph } from '@tiptap/extension-paragraph';
import { Text } from '@tiptap/extension-text';
import { RichTextProvider } from 'reactjs-tiptap-editor';
import { Drawer, RichTextDrawer } from 'reactjs-tiptap-editor/drawer';
import { RichTextBubbleDrawer } from 'reactjs-tiptap-editor/bubble/drawer';
import 'reactjs-tiptap-editor/style.css';
import 'easydrawer/styles.css';

const extensions = [Document, Paragraph, Text, Drawer];

export default function DrawerExample() {
  const editor = useEditor({
    extensions,
    content: '<p>Try this feature here.</p>',
    immediatelyRender: false,
  });

  if (!editor) return null;

  return (
    <RichTextProvider editor={editor}>
      <RichTextDrawer />
      <RichTextBubbleDrawer />
      <EditorContent editor={editor} />
    </RichTextProvider>
  );
}

How to use

Load easydrawer/styles.css alongside the editor stylesheet. Open the drawing dialog, draw, and apply the result. You can provide an upload callback resolving to a durable URL to store the generated SVG remotely. Install easydrawer directly if needed to resolve its CSS import.

Loading behavior

The drawing canvas loads when a create or edit dialog opens. The first open may show a loading placeholder, and a failed module load offers a retry action. Keep the stylesheet import above so the canvas is styled when it becomes available.
