Uh hello guys, in this video I'll show
0:02
you I built out a ReactJS Canva clone
0:05
image and PDF editor directly in the
0:07
browser. We running this uh locally here
0:09
as you can see. So this is similar to
0:12
Canva. All the features we have is
0:14
simple little canvas where you can
0:16
actually add text images. We also have
0:19
different export buttons as well. We can
0:21
export to PNG, JPG, SVG and PDF as well.
0:25
So first of all we have the canvas here.
0:27
We can simply click on this button to
0:30
actually change the background color. So
0:33
here you can choose from the color
0:35
picker change the background color. And
0:37
we also have the option to add text. So
0:40
if you click that your model window will
0:42
open. So right here you will be able to
0:44
add text with all the options of
0:46
alignment,
0:47
color, text. You can control all these
0:50
properties and place your text.
0:53

0:55
PNG file, you can click the export
0:57
button to actually export this as a
1:00
image file. You also have the option to
1:02
export this to a PDF file as well. So

1:07
So it's a overall React Canva clone
1:10
project here. Uh all the source code you
1:12
can directly purchase it. I've given the
1:14
link in the description. So for building
1:16
this application, we are using React the
1:19
latest version. As you can see we are
1:21
also using some third party libraries
1:23
such as fabricjs and jspdf
1:26
and uh this is a single page
1:28
application. So once you get the source
1:29
code you will able to be modifying the
1:31
source code or add additional features
1:34
and we are running this application
1:35
locally here by simply running the
1:39
command npm rundev. So this has started
1:41
this react application at localhost
1:44
3000. So all the basically the
1:46
components are divided into a JSX file,
1:49
CSS file and JavaScript file. So each
1:52
and every code it's coded here. So
1:55
everything is customizable. So once you
1:57
get the source code, you will be able to
1:58
see how I built this application. And if
2:02
any modification you want to make, you
2:04
can edit any of these files. So every
2:09
component is customizable.
2:11
And we also have the options for adding
2:14
different kinds of shapes as well. So
2:16
from here you can select which shape you
2:18
want to add rectangle, circle, square,
2:21
triangle.
2:22

2:24
height, you can even fill out with a
2:26
specific color as well. You can control

2:35
right here.
2:37
It's all the features of canvas. So it's
2:39
a layer based editor. So it keep track
2:41
of each layer that you add on the
2:44
thumbnail on the right hand side. So
2:46
here you can actually control the
2:48
visibility. You can lock a particular
2:50
layer or basically move layer down up.
2:54
So all this you can even uh show the
2:58
visibility. You can change the
3:00
visibility, hide, unhide. Everything is
