DraggableText
The DraggableText component has been deprecated. Instead, use the TypographyCard(opens in a new tab or window) component.
Usage
Basic usage
import React from "react";import { DraggableText } from "components/draggable_text";export function App() {return <DraggableText>Drag me into the design</DraggableText>;}
Styling the text
You can use the style prop to style the text in the app's iframe. Where possible, Canva will use these styles to determine the style of the text that's dropped into the design.
import React from "react";import { DraggableText } from "components/draggable_text";export function App() {return (<DraggableTextstyle={{fontStyle: "italic",fontWeight: "bold",textAlign: "center",textDecoration: "underline",}}>Drag me into the design</DraggableText>);}
Customizing the drag data
If you want the text that's dropped into the design to look different from the text that's in the app's iframe, set props that are distinct from the style prop.
import React from "react";import { DraggableText } from "components/draggable_text";export function App() {return (<DraggableTextstyle={{fontStyle: "italic",fontWeight: "bold",textAlign: "center",textDecoration: "underline",}}decoration="none"fontStyle="normal"fontWeight="normal"textAlign="end">Drag me into the design</DraggableText>);}
