Development

This page relates to developing the @excalidraw/excalidraw package itself.

Example app​

To start the example app using the @excalidraw/excalidraw package, follow the below steps:

  1. Install the dependencies

    yarn

  2. Start the example app

    yarn start:example

    http://localhost:3001 will open in your default browser.

    This is the same example as the CodeSandbox example.

Releasing​

Creating a production release​

To release the next stable version follow the below steps:

yarn release --tag=latest --version=0.19.0

You will need to pass the latest tag with version for which you want to create the release. This will make the changes needed before publishing the packages into NPM, like updating dependencies of all @excalidraw/* packages, generating new entries in CHANGELOG.md and more.
