The following section explains the required steps to build the Signature component with its basic usage in step-by-step procedure.

To get start quickly with Signature Component using React, you can check on this video:

Dependencies

The following list of dependencies are required to use the Signature component in your application.

|-- @syncfusion/ej2-react-base

Setup your development environment

To easily set up a React application, use create-vite-app, which provides a faster development environment, smaller bundle sizes, and optimized builds compared to traditional tools like create-react-app. For detailed steps, refer to the Vite installation instructions. Vite sets up your environment using JavaScript and optimizes your application for production.

Note: To create a React application using create-react-app, refer to this documentation for more details.

To create a new React application, run the following command.

npm create vite@latest my-app

To set-up a React application in TypeScript environment, run the following command.

npm create vite@latest my-app -- --template react-ts
cd my-app
npm run dev

To set-up a React application in JavaScript environment, run the following command.

npm create vite@latest my-app -- --template react
cd my-app
npm run dev

Adding Syncfusion^® packages

All the available Essential^® JS 2 packages are published in npmjs.com public registry.
You can choose the component that you want to install. For this application, we are going to use Signature component.

To install Signature component, use the following command

npm install @syncfusion/ej2-react-inputs –save

The above command installs Signature dependencies which are required to render the component in the React environment.

Adding Style sheet to the Application

Add Signature component’s styles as given below in App.css.

@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-inputs/styles/material.css";

Add Signature to the project

Now, you can create Signature component in the application. Add Signature component in src/App.tsx file using the following code snippet.

import { SignatureComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-inputs';
import * as React from 'react';
function App() {
    return (<div style=>
        <SignatureComponent id='signature'></SignatureComponent>
    </div>);
    
}
export default App;

Run the application

Now run the npm run dev command in the console to start the development server. This command compiles your code and serves the application locally, opening it in the browser.

   npm run dev

The following example shows the default Signature.

app.jsx

import { SignatureComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-inputs';
import * as React from "react";
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";
// initializes Signature component.
function App() {
    return (<div id='container'>
        <div id='signature-control'>
            <h4>Sign here</h4>
            <SignatureComponent id='signature'/>
        </div>
        </div>);
}
;
export default App;
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('element'));

app.tsx

import { SignatureComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-inputs';
import * as React from "react";
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";

// initializes Signature component.
function App() {
    return (
        <div id='container'>
        <div id='signature-control'>
            <h4>Sign here</h4>
            <SignatureComponent id='signature'/>
        </div>
        </div>
    );
};
export default App;
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('element'));
