Welcome to the world of canvas rendering using Easy-Canvas! This tutorial will guide you step-by-step through installation and usage, making your experience as smooth as possible. Let’s dive in!

Installation

Before you begin creating stunning graphical applications, you need to install Easy-Canvas. You can do this effortlessly with the following command:

bash
npm install easy-canvas-layout --save

Usage

Once you have Easy-Canvas installed, it’s time to create your first canvas rendering!

Step 1: Create a Layer

First, you’ll create a layer that is bound with the context. This is analogous to setting up a stage for a play where all the performance takes place. The layer will define the attributes of your canvas.

javascript
import easyCanvas from 'easy-canvas-layout';

const layer = easyCanvas.createLayer(ctx, {
    dpr: 2,
    width: 300,
    height: 600,
    lifecycle: {
        onEffectSuccess: () => {},
        onEffectFail: () => {}
    },
    canvas
});

Step 2: Create a Node Tree

Next, you will create a node tree. Think of a node tree like the hierarchy of a family where each member plays a unique role. This is vital for your canvas to understand how each element interacts.

javascript
const node = easyCanvas.createElement((c) => {
    return c('view', {
        styles: {
            backgroundColor: '#000'
        },
        attrs: {
            src: '...',
            on: {
                click: 'load'
            }
        },
        children: [c('text', { color: '#fff' }, 'Hello World')]
    });
});

node.mount(layer);

Step 3: Register Component

Components are like building blocks, allowing for reusability in your designs. Here’s how to create and register a button component:

javascript
function button(c, text) {
    return c('view', {
        styles: {
            backgroundColor: '#ff6c79',
            borderRadius: 10,
            borderColor: '#fff',
            display: 'inline-block',
            margin: 2,
            padding: [0, 10]
        }
    }, [
        c(text, {
            styles: {
                lineHeight: 20,
                color: '#fff',
                textAlign: 'center',
                fontSize: 11
            }
        }, text)
    ]);
}

easyCanvas.component(button, (opt, children, c) => button(c, children));
const node = easyCanvas.createElement((c) => {
    return c('view', {}, [
        c(button, {}, 'Click Me')
    ]);
});

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, here are some tips to help you out:

• Layer not rendering: Ensure that your context (`ctx`) is correctly defined and that the layer is mounted properly.
• Node not displaying: Double-check your node tree structure and ensure that each element has the proper attributes and styles.
• Component not functioning: Verify that components are registered correctly and that the required methods are called.
