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

You can use Create-react-app to setup the applications.

To install create-react-app run the following command.

    npm install -g create-react-app

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

npx create-react-app my-app --template typescript

cd my-app

npm start

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

npx create-react-app my-app

cd my-app

npm start

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

Use the npm run start command to run the application in the browser.

   npm run start

The following example shows the default Signature.

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'));
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'));
