Excalidraw API

Features

  • Add onLinkOpen prop which will be triggered when clicked on element hyperlink if present #4694.

  • Support updating library using updateScene API #4546.

  • Introduced primary colors to the app. The colors can be overriden. Check readme on how to do so #4387.

  • exportToBlob now automatically sets appState.exportBackground to true if exporting to image/jpeg MIME type (to ensure that alpha channel is not compressed to black color) #4342.

    BREAKING CHANGE

    Remove getElementMap util #4306.

  • Changes to exportToCanvas util function #4321:

    • Add maxWidthOrHeight?: number attribute.
    • scale returned from getDimensions() is now optional (default to 1).

  • Image support added for host PR

    General notes:

    • File data are encoded as DataURLs (base64) for portability reasons.

    ExcalidrawAPI:

    • added getFiles() to get current BinaryFiles (Record<FileId, BinaryFileData>). It may contain files that aren’t referenced by any element, so if you’re persisting the files to a storage, you should compare them against stored elements.

    Excalidraw app props:

    • added generateIdForFile(file: File) optional prop so you can generate your own ids for added files.
    • onChange(elements, appState, files) prop callback is now passed BinaryFiles as third argument.
    • onPaste(data, event) data prop should contain data.files (BinaryFiles) if the elements pasted are referencing new files.
    • initialData object now supports additional files (BinaryFiles) attribute.

    Other notes:

    • .excalidraw files may now contain top-level files key in format of Record<FileId, BinaryFileData> when exporting any (image) elements.
    • Changes were made to various export utilities exported from the package so that they take files, you can refer to the docs for the same.

  • Export isLinearElement and getNonDeletedElements #4072.

  • Support renderTopRightUI in mobile UI #4065.

  • Export THEME constant from the package so host can use this when passing the theme #4055.

    BREAKING CHANGE

    The Appearance type is now removed and renamed to Theme so Theme type needs to be used.

Fixes

  • Reset unmounted state on the component once component mounts to fix the mounting/unmounting repeatedly when used with useEffect #4682.
  • Panning the canvas using mousewheel-drag and space-drag now prevents the browser from scrolling the container/page #4489.
  • Scope drag and drop events to Excalidraw container to prevent overriding host application drag and drop events #4445.

Build

 @excalibot trigger release

#4750.

  • Added an example to test and develop the package locally using yarn start #4488

  • Remove file-loader so font assets are not duplicated by webpack and use webpack asset modules for font generation #4380.

  • We’re now compiling to es2017 target. Notably, async/await is not compiled down to generators. #4341.
