Create an
index.htmlfile in the same directory. -
Add the following lines in the
headsection of your file to use iinkTS and the css :
<script src="node_modules/iink-ts/dist/iink.min.js"></script>- Still in the
headsection, add astyleand specify the height and the width of your canvas:
<style>
#canvas {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
</style>- In the
bodytag, create adivtag that will contain the drawing area:
<div id="canvas"></div>- In JavaScript and within a
<script>tag placed before the closing</body>tag, create the canvas using theloadfunction, your HTML element, the desired type and the possible options depending on the type, then initialize it:
const canvasElement = document.getElementById('canvas');
const options = {
configuration = {
server: {
scheme: "https",
host: "cloud.myscript.com",
applicationKey: "<YOU-APPLICATION-KEY>",
hmacKey: "<YOUR-HMAC-KEY>",
}
}
}
const canvasType = "INTERACTIVE_INK" /* or INTERACTIVE_INK_SSR or INK_V1 or INK_V2 */
const canvas = iink.Canvas.load(canvasElement, canvasType, options);- Your
index.htmlfile should look like this:
<html>
<head>
<script src="node_modules/iink-ts/dist/iink.min.js"></script>
<style>
#canvas {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="canvas"></div>
<script>
const canvasElement = document.getElementById("canvas")
const options = {
configuration: {
server: {
scheme: "https",
host: "cloud.myscript.com",
applicationKey: "<YOU-APPLICATION-KEY>",
hmacKey: "<YOUR-HMAC-KEY>",
},
}
}
const canvasType = "INTERACTIVE_INK" /* or INTERACTIVE_INK_SSR or INK_V1 or INK_V2 */
const canvas = iink.Canvas.load(canvasElement, canvasType, options)
</script>
</body>
</html>- Open
index.htmlin your browser or serve your folder content using any web server.
