We've transitioned from UMD to ESM bundle format. Our new dist bundles inside @excalidraw/excalidraw package now contain only bundled source files, making any dependencies tree-shakable. The npm package comes with the following structure:

Note: The structure is simplified for the sake of brevity, omitting lazy-loadable modules, including locales (previously treated as json assets) and source maps in the development bundle.

@excalidraw/excalidraw/
├── dist/
│   ├── dev/
│   │   ├── fonts/
│   │   ├── index.css
│   │   ├── index.js
│   │   ├── index.js.map
│   ├── prod/
│   │   ├── fonts/
│   │   ├── index.css
│   │   ├── index.js
│   └── types/

Make sure that your JavaScript environment supports ES modules. You may need to define "type": "module" in your package.json file or as part of the <script type="module" /> attribute.

Since "node" and "node10" do not support package.json "exports" fields, having these values in your tsconfig.json will not work. Instead, use "bundler", "node16" or "nodenext" values. For more information, see Typescript's documentation.

Due to ESM strict resolution, if you're using Webpack or other bundler that expects import paths to be fully specified, you'll need to explicitly disable this feature.

For example in Webpack, you should set resolve.fullySpecified to false.

For this reason, CRA will no longer work unless you eject or use a workaround such as craco.

Dependening on the environment, this is how imports should look like with the ESM:

With bundler (Vite, Next.js, etc.)

// excalidraw library with public API
import * as excalidrawLib from "@excalidraw/excalidraw";
// excalidraw react component
import { Excalidraw } from "@excalidraw/excalidraw";
// excalidraw styles, usually auto-processed by the build tool (i.e. vite, next, etc.)
import "@excalidraw/excalidraw/index.css";
// excalidraw types (optional)
import type { ExcalidrawImperativeAPI } from "@excalidraw/excalidraw/types";

Without bundler (Browser)

<!-- Environment: browser with a script tag and no bundler -->

<!-- excalidraw styles -->
<link
  rel="stylesheet"
  href="https://esm.sh/@excalidraw/excalidraw@0.18.0/dist/dev/index.css"
/>
<!-- import maps used for deduplicating react & react-dom versions -->
<script type="importmap">
  {
    "imports": {
      "react": "https://esm.sh/react@19.0.0",
      "react/jsx-runtime": "https://esm.sh/react@19.0.0/jsx-runtime",
      "react-dom": "https://esm.sh/react-dom@19.0.0"
    }
  }
</script>
<script type="module">
  import React from "https://esm.sh/react@19.0.0";
  import ReactDOM from "https://esm.sh/react-dom@19.0.0";
  import * as ExcalidrawLib from "https://esm.sh/@excalidraw/excalidraw@0.18.0/dist/dev/index.js?external=react,react-dom";
</script>

The excalidraw-assets and excalidraw-assets-dev folders, which contained locales and fonts, are no longer used and have been deprecated.

Locales are no longer treated as static .json assets, but are transpiled with esbuild dirrectly to the .js as ES modules. Note that some build tools (i.e. Vite) may require setting es2022 as a build target, in order to support "Arbitrary module namespace identifier names", e.g. export { english as "en-us" } ).

// vite.config.js
optimizeDeps: {
  esbuildOptions: {
    // Bumping to 2022 due to "Arbitrary module namespace identifier names" not being
    // supported in Vite's default browser target https://github.com/vitejs/vite/issues/13556
    target: "es2022",
    // Tree shaking is optional, but recommended
    treeShaking: true,
  },
}

New fonts, which we've added, are automatically loaded from the CDN. For self-hosting purposes, you'll have to copy the content of the folder node_modules/@excalidraw/excalidraw/dist/prod/fonts to the path where your assets should be served from (i.e. public/ directory in your project). In that case, you should also set window.EXCALIDRAW_ASSET_PATH to the very same path, i.e. / in case it's in the root:

<script>window.EXCALIDRAW_ASSET_PATH = "/";</script>

or, if you serve your assets from the root of your CDN, you would do:

<script>
  window.EXCALIDRAW_ASSET_PATH = "https://cdn.domain.com/subpath/";
</script>

or, if you prefer the path to be dynamicly set based on the location.origin, you could do the following:

// Next.js
<Script id="load-env-variables" strategy="beforeInteractive">
  {`window["EXCALIDRAW_ASSET_PATH"] = location.origin;`} // or use just "/"!
</Script>

// before
updateScene({ elements, appState, commitToHistory: true }); // A
updateScene({ elements, appState, commitToHistory: false }); // B

// after
import { CaptureUpdateAction } from "@excalidraw/excalidraw";
updateScene({
  elements,
  appState,
  captureUpdate: CaptureUpdateAction.IMMEDIATELY,
}); // A
updateScene({
  elements,
  appState,
  captureUpdate: CaptureUpdateAction.NEVER,
}); // B

The updateScene API has changed due to the added Store component, as part of multiplayer undo / redo initiative. Specifically, optional sceneData parameter commitToHistory: boolean was replaced with optional captureUpdate: CaptureUpdateActionType parameter. Therefore, make sure to update all instances of updateScene, which use commitToHistory parameter according to the before / after table below.

Note: Some updates are not observed by the store / history - i.e. updates to collaborators object or parts of AppState which are not observed (not ObservedAppState). Such updates will never make it to the undo / redo stacks, regardless of the passed captureUpdate value.

• ExcalidrawTextElement.baseline was removed and replaced with a vertical offset computation based on font metrics, performed on each text element re-render. In case of custom font usage, extend the FONT_METRICS object with the related properties. #7693

• ExcalidrawEmbeddableElement.validated was removed and moved to private editor state. This should largely not affect your apps unless you were reading from this attribute. We keep validating embeddable urls internally, and the public props.validateEmbeddable still applies. #7539

• Stats container CSS has changed, so if you're using renderCustomStats, you may need to adjust your styles to retain the same layout. #8361

• <DefaultSidebar /> triggers are now always merged with host app triggers, rendered through <DefaultSidebar.Triggers/>. <DefaultSidebar.Triggers/> no longer accepts any props other than children. #8498

• props.initialData can now be a function that returns ExcalidrawInitialDataState or Promise<ExcalidrawInitialDataState> #8107

• Add useHandleLibrary's opts.adapter as the new recommended pattern to handle library initialization and persistence on library updates #7655

• Umd build for browser since it was breaking in v0.17.0 #7349. Also make sure that when using Vite, the process.env.IS_PREACT is set as "true" (string) and not a boolean.

define: {
  "process.env.IS_PREACT": JSON.stringify("true"),
}

• Disable caching bounds for arrow labels #7343

• Bounds cached prematurely resulting in incorrectly rendered labels #7339

• Added support for disabling image tool (also disabling image insertion in general, though keeps support for importing from .excalidraw files) #6320.

  For disabling image you need to set 👇

  UIOptions.tools = {
    image: false
  }
  

• Support excalidrawAPI prop for accessing the Excalidraw API #7251.

• Add selected prop for MainMenu.Item and MainMenu.ItemCustom components to indicate active state. #7078

• Double image dialog on image insertion #7152.

• The Ref support has been removed in v0.17.0 so if you are using refs, please update the integration to use the excalidrawAPI #7251.

• Additionally ready and readyPromise from the API have been discontinued. These APIs were found to be superfluous, and as part of the effort to streamline the APIs and maintain simplicity, they were removed in version v0.17.0 #7251.

• useDevice hook's return value was changed to differentiate between editor and viewport breakpoints. #7243

• Support Preact #7255. The host needs to set process.env.IS_PREACT to true

  When using vite or any build tools, you will have to make sure the process is accessible as we are accessing process.env.IS_PREACT to decide whether to use the preact build.

  Since Vite removes env variables by default, you can update the Vite config to ensure it's available 👇

  define: {
    "process.env.IS_PREACT": process.env.IS_PREACT,
  },

  BREAKING CHANGES
