is in this live stream I will show you a
0:02
React Canva clone editor that I
0:04
developed inside the browser here. So
0:07
this image editor is similar to Canva.
0:10
It has all the features. So I'm running
0:12
this on my local host 3000. It's a React
0:15
project as you can see right here. And
0:17
this is the interface of the
0:19
application. It has all the features
0:22
right here. You can see this is a canvas
0:25
and you can actually
0:28
delete this. So if you want to delete
0:30
this, you can simply click on this and
0:33
remove all elements. So this is the text
0:35
here. You can adjust all these
0:36
properties such as color of the text,
0:39
phone size, everything. You can place
0:40
it. And then inside the left hand side
0:43
corner of the screen, we have option to
0:45
add the text here. Click on this and it
0:49
will add this. If you want to remove
0:50
this, you can also remove it. And now
0:52
you can place your text.
0:55
So I can simply edit this text here like
0:58
this.
1:00
And you al also have the support to
1:03
upload your own font here. You can also
1:06
change the background color as well.
1:10
And then you also have the support to
1:12
draw something using the brush. You can
1:15
basically select the color
1:18
and you can even do that as well. And
1:20
you also have the support for uploading
1:23
your own images. Simply select the image
1:26
and you can drag the image in the canvas
1:29
and if you're happy you can now export
1:31
this. You have the download button. So
1:34
we can export this to a image file, PDF
1:37
file, HTML file. So simply select let's
1:41
suppose I want to export this to a PDF.
1:44
So if I select this you will see
1:46
everything is exported to PDF and this
1:50
is a complete React project. I've given
1:52
the code in the description of the
1:54
video. You can directly purchase it. So
1:56
this is a overall react project. Here it
1:58
is using the latest version of React
2:00
which is 18.2.0
2:03
and it's
2:05
this is actually all the source code
2:07
here. Every component is divided into
2:09
its appropriate JavaScript file here as
2:13
you can see right here.
2:17
So you can just see here. So every
2:20
component is divided into its
2:22
appropriate JavaScript file here. So
2:25
once you purchase it, you can uh go to
2:28
the directory and it's very simple. You
2:30
should have NodeJS installed. So I'm
2:34
just using the latest version of Node
2:36
here. You will see 22.17.0.
2:39
After that you just need to run the
2:40
command here npm run start. This will
2:43
start the local
2:47
development server and serve your
2:49
application at localhost 3000. So you
2:52
can just see here it is running this
2:54
application and this is the canva clone
2:57
here. The editor will start here and uh
3:02
you can add any shape here. You can just
3:05
see here
3:07
you have full control on the alignment
3:09
and the placement of it. And you can
3:12
also upload your own images. Simply
3:15
upload them and place it
3:20
at any point. If you want to remove any
3:22
element, you can simply click on this
3:24
and you can also manipulate its
3:27
positioning as well. So it has all the
3:29
features of canvas. So you can place it
3:33
accordingly
3:35
and you also get access to all these uh
3:38
backgrounds which are available in
3:40
Canva. So we have integrated the support
3:42
for it using the unsplash API. So
3:47
in a single click you can also see the
3:49
result. Simply click on that and the
3:51
background will update
3:54
and uh you can just see here this is the
3:56
layers different layers.
3:58
You can disable any layer at any point
4:01
of time by clicking this button right
4:03
here locking any layer and you can
4:07
resize this image to various social
4:09
media networks. You can have Instagram,
4:12
Facebook, YouTube. So with a single
4:14
click you can resize this post. So you
4:18
just need to click it and instantly the
4:20
post will resize. So as you can see on
4:23
the right hand side as I'm clicking
4:25
instantly it is resizing it to multiple
4:29
sizes
4:31
and you can also animate this. So simply
4:34
select the element and click the animate
4:36
button and just select the animation. So
4:39
if you want to rotate the text, the
4:41
animation will happen
4:44
instantly. And then you also have the
4:46
support for exporting it to PNG or PDF
4:50
file or HTML GIF file. So I've given the
4:53
source code in the description. You can
4:54
directly purchase it and uh you can just
4:58
see the source code. It is divided into
5:01
multiple sections.
5:03
So if you basically have the knowledge
5:05
of React, you can also modify the source
5:08
code to add additional features as well.
5:10
So these are all using third party
5:12
open-source libraries. So nothing is any
5:16
subscription base. You can use it for
5:18
completely free. So once you get access
5:19
to the source code, you can check out
5:22
the uh link in the description. And we
5:25
are using as you can see the latest
5:27
version of React which is 18.2.0.
5:33
So [snorts] this is actually the main
5:35
file app.js
5:38
and these are different sections here
5:40
which is emoji section icon finder.
5:44
Everything is coded inside JavaScript.
5:47
So it's also very easy to build this
5:49
project if you're looking forward for
5:51
deploying this project to production.
5:54
And this is the icon finder API. You can
5:58
integrate shapes.
6:00
So I illustrated every feature which it
6:03
supports here. So it's an all-in-one
6:06
Canva clone editor.
6:10
With the canvas you can place text,
6:13
images.
