Demo

Installation

npm install --save react-native-signature-pad

Using a Custom Signature Font

There is an option to generate a signature based off the user's name. You can use your own custom font. Currently, we recommend converting your font file into a data URL (we used dataurl.net). Store that in a .js file with the contents similar to something like below:

var content = `
  @font-face {
    font-family: 'SignatureFont';
    src: url(/* data url of your font */) format(/* orig font file type i.e. 'ttf' */);
  }
`;

export default content;

Generating a Signature from a String

If you would like to generate a signature as opposed to manually writing your own, you can enable the useFont prop to true and use the prop name where the generated signature will be based from.

...

var signatureFont = require('./signature-font');

...

var aName = 'John Doe';

<SignaturePad
  ...
  useFont={true}
  name={aName}
  fontStyle={signatureFont}
/>

Example

var React = require('react-native');

var {
  View,
  Component,
  } = React;

var SignaturePad = require('react-native-signature-pad');

var penMinWidth = 2;  // Default value: 1
var penMaxWidth = 3;  // Default value: 4

export default class Demo extends Component {
  render = () => {
    return (
      <View style={{flex: 1}}>
        <SignaturePad
          onError={this._signaturePadError}
          onChange={this._signaturePadChange}
          penMinWidth={penMinWidth}
          penMaxWidth={penMaxWidth}
          style={{flex: 1, backgroundColor: 'white'}}
          useFont={false}
        />
      </View>
    )
  };

  _signaturePadError = (error) => {
    console.error(error);
  };

  _signaturePadChange = ({base64DataUrl}) => {
    console.log("Got new signature: " + base64DataUrl);
  };
}

Android 7 WebView Changes

Google changed the default behaviour for WebViews with Android 7 (Nougat). In apps that use WebViews, it no longer uses the WebView APK in previous versions but instead it uses the Chrome WebView.

Source: https://developer.android.com/about/versions/nougat/android-7.0.html#webview

Because of this, WebView's onMessage prop replaces onChange previously used. However, onMessage was not implemented in React Native WebView until React Native v0.37.
