26
- ## Install
27
-
28
- ```bash
29
- npm install @fieldnotes/core
30
- ```
31
-
32
- ## Quick Start
33
-
34
- ```typescript
35
- import {
36
- Viewport,
37
- HandTool,
38
- SelectTool,
39
- PencilTool,
40
- EraserTool,
41
- ArrowTool,
42
- NoteTool,
43
- } from '@fieldnotes/core';
44
-
45
- // Mount on any container element
46
- const viewport = new Viewport(document.getElementById('canvas'), {
47
- background: { pattern: 'dots', spacing: 24 },
48
- });
49
-
50
- // Register tools
51
- viewport.toolManager.register(new HandTool());
52
- viewport.toolManager.register(new SelectTool());
53
- viewport.toolManager.register(new PencilTool({ color: '#1a1a1a', width: 2 }));
54
- viewport.toolManager.register(new EraserTool());
55
- viewport.toolManager.register(new ArrowTool({ color: '#1a1a1a', width: 2 }));
56
- viewport.toolManager.register(new NoteTool());
57
-
58
- // Activate a tool
59
- viewport.setTool('select');
60
-
61
- // Clean up when done
62
- viewport.destroy();
63
- ```
64
-
65
- Your container element needs a defined size (width/height). The canvas fills its container.
66
-
67
- ## Embedding HTML Elements
68
-
69
- The main differentiator — embed any DOM node as a fully interactive canvas element:
70
-
71
- ```typescript
72
- const card = document.createElement('div');
73
- card.innerHTML = '<h3>My Card</h3><button>Click me</button>';
74
-
75
- // Buttons, inputs, links — everything works
76
- card.querySelector('button').addEventListener('click', () => {
77
- console.log('Clicked inside the canvas!');
78
- });
79
-
80
- const elementId = viewport.addHtmlElement(card, { x: 100, y: 200 }, { w: 250, h: 150 });
81
- ```
82
-
83
- HTML elements pan, zoom, and resize with the canvas. They use a **two-mode interaction model**:
84
-
85
- - **Default** — the element can be selected, dragged, and resized like any other element
86
- - **Double-click** — enters interact mode, making buttons, inputs, and links work
87
- - **Escape** or **click outside** — exits interact mode
88
-
89
- You can also exit interact mode programmatically:
90
-
91
- ```typescript
92
- viewport.stopInteracting();
93
- ```
94
-
95
- ## Adding Images
96
-
97
- ```typescript
98
- // Programmatic
99
- viewport.addImage('https://example.com/photo.jpg', { x: 0, y: 0 });
100
- viewport.addImage('/assets/map.png', { x: 0, y: 0 }, { w: 800, h: 600 });
101
-
102
- // Drag & drop is handled automatically — drop images onto the canvas
103
- ```
104
-
105
- > **Important: Use URLs, not base64 data URLs.** Images are stored inline in the serialized state. A single base64-encoded photo can be 2-5MB, which will blow past the `localStorage` ~5MB quota and make JSON exports impractical. Upload images to your server or CDN and use the URL. For offline/local-first apps, store blobs in IndexedDB and reference them by URL.
106
-
107
- ## Grids
108
-
109
- Add square or hex grid overlays — useful for D&D combat maps, alignment, or graph paper backgrounds. Grids always render on top of images and other layer elements.
110
-
111
- ```typescript
112
- // Add a hex grid
113
- viewport.addGrid({
114
- gridType: 'hex',
115
- hexOrientation: 'pointy', // 'pointy' | 'flat'
116
- cellSize: 40,
117
- strokeColor: '#cccccc',
118
- strokeWidth: 1,
119
- opacity: 0.5,
120
- });
121
-
122
- // Update grid properties
123
- viewport.updateGrid({ cellSize: 50, strokeColor: '#aaaaaa' });
124
-
125
- // Remove grid
126
- viewport.removeGrid();
127
- ```
128
-
129
- ## Image Export
130
-
131
- Export the canvas as a PNG image:
132
-
133
- ```typescript
134
- const blob = await viewport.exportImage({
135
- scale: 2, // pixel density (default 2)
136
- padding: 20, // world-space padding around content (default 0)
137
- background: '#fff', // fill color (default '#ffffff')
138
- filter: (el) => el.type !== 'html', // optional per-element filter
139
- });
140
- ```
141
-
142
- HTML elements are excluded from image exports (DOM cannot be rasterized to canvas). Cross-origin images are handled automatically via CORS cache-busting.
143
-
144
- ## Performance Monitoring
145
-
146
- ```typescript
147
- // Get a snapshot of render stats
148
- const stats = viewport.getRenderStats();
149
- // { fps, avgFrameMs, p95FrameMs, lastGridMs, frameCount }
150
-
151
- // Log stats to console every 2 seconds (returns stop function)
152
- const stop = viewport.logPerformance(2000);
153
- // [FieldNotes] fps=60 frame=1.2ms p95=2.1ms grid=0.1ms
154
- stop(); // stop logging
155
- ```
156
-
157
- ## Camera Control
158
-
159
- ```typescript
160
- const { camera } = viewport;
161
-
162
- camera.pan(100, 50); // pan by offset
163
- camera.moveTo(0, 0); // jump to position
164
- camera.setZoom(2); // set zoom level
165
- camera.zoomAt(1.5, { x: 400, y: 300 }); // zoom toward screen point
166
-
167
- const world = camera.screenToWorld({ x: e.clientX, y: e.clientY });
168
- const screen = camera.worldToScreen({ x: 0, y: 0 });
169
-
170
- camera.onChange(() => {
171
- /* camera moved */
172
- });
173
- ```
174
-
175
- ## Element Store
176
-
177
- Direct access to canvas elements:
178
-
179
- ```typescript
180
- const { store } = viewport;
181
-
182
- const all = store.getAll(); // sorted by zIndex
183
- const el = store.getById('some-id');
184
- const strokes = store.getElementsByType('stroke');
185
-
186
- store.update('some-id', { locked: true });
187
- store.remove('some-id');
188
-
189
- store.on('add', (el) => console.log('added', el));
190
- store.on('remove', (el) => console.log('removed', el));
191
- store.on('update', ({ previous, current }) => {
192
- /* ... */
193
- });
194
- ```
195
-
196
- ## Undo / Redo
197
-
198
- ```typescript
199
- viewport.undo();
200
- viewport.redo();
201
-
202
- viewport.history.canUndo; // boolean
203
- viewport.history.canRedo; // boolean
204
- viewport.history.onChange(() => {
205
- /* update UI */
206
- });
207
- ```
208
-
209
- ## Layers
210
-
211
- Organize elements into named layers with visibility, lock, and ordering controls. All elements on a higher layer render above all elements on a lower layer, regardless of individual z-index.
212
-
213
- ```typescript
214
- const { layerManager } = viewport;
215
-
216
- // Create layers
217
- const background = layerManager.activeLayer; // "Layer 1" exists by default
218
- layerManager.renameLayer(background.id, 'Map');
219
- const tokens = layerManager.createLayer('Tokens');
220
- const notes = layerManager.createLayer('Notes');
221
-
222
- // Set active layer — new elements are created on the active layer
223
- layerManager.setActiveLayer(tokens.id);
224
-
225
- // Visibility and locking
226
- layerManager.setLayerVisible(background.id, false); // hide
227
- layerManager.setLayerLocked(background.id, true); // prevent selection/editing
228
-
229
- // Move elements between layers
230
- layerManager.moveElementToLayer(elementId, notes.id);
231
-
232
- // Reorder layers
233
- layerManager.reorderLayer(tokens.id, 5); // higher order = renders on top
234
-
235
- // Query
236
- layerManager.getLayers(); // sorted by order
237
- layerManager.isLayerVisible(id);
238
- layerManager.isLayerLocked(id);
239
-
240
- // Listen for changes
241
- layerManager.on('change', () => {
242
- /* update UI */
243
- });
244
- ```
245
-
246
- Locked layers prevent selection, erasing, and arrow binding on their elements. Hidden layers are invisible and non-interactive. The active layer cannot be hidden or locked — if you try, it automatically switches to the next available layer.
247
-
248
- ## State Serialization
249
-
250
- ```typescript
251
- // Save
252
- const json = viewport.exportJSON();
253
- localStorage.setItem('canvas', json);
254
-
255
- // Load
256
- viewport.loadJSON(localStorage.getItem('canvas'));
257
- ```
258
-
259
- > **Note:** Serialized state includes all layers and element `layerId` assignments. States saved before layers were introduced are automatically migrated — elements are placed on a default "Layer 1".
260
-
261
- > **Two equivalent pairs:** `exportJSON()` / `loadJSON()` work with strings and are the
262
- > canonical choice for persistence. `exportState()` / `loadState()` work with in-memory
263
- > `CanvasState` objects, skipping the JSON round-trip — this is what `AutoSave` uses. The
264
- > module-level `exportState` / `parseState` functions are no longer exported; use the
265
- > `Viewport` methods.
266
-
267
- ## Tool Switching
268
-
269
- ```typescript
270
- viewport.setTool('pencil');
271
- viewport.setTool('hand');
272
-
273
- viewport.toolManager.onChange((toolName) => {
274
- console.log('switched to', toolName);
275
- });
276
- ```
277
-
278
- ## Keyboard shortcuts
279
-
280
- Defaults (remappable): `Delete`/`Backspace` delete · `Escape` deselect · `mod+Z` undo ·
281
- `mod+Y`/`mod+Shift+Z` redo · `mod+A` select all · `mod+C/V/D` copy/paste/duplicate ·
282
- `[`/`]` z-order (with `mod` = to back/front) · `Shift+1` zoom-to-fit · `mod+=` zoom in ·
283
- `mod+-` zoom out · `mod+0` reset zoom to 100% · arrows nudge
284
- (`Shift` = one grid cell) · tool keys `V` select, `H` hand, `P` pencil, `E` eraser,
285
- `A` arrow, `N` note, `T` text, `S` shape, `M` measure, `G` template.
286
-
287
- `mod` = Ctrl or Cmd. Shortcuts fire only while the canvas has focus (click it once);
288
- pass `shortcuts: { scope: 'window' }` for page-wide handling.
289
-
290
- ```ts
291
- const viewport = new Viewport(el, {
292
- shortcuts: {
293
- bindings: {
294
- duplicate: 'mod+shift+d', // remap
295
- 'tool:pencil': ['p', 'b'], // multiple bindings
296
- copy: null, // disable
297
- 'tool:my-custom-tool': 'f', // any registered tool works
298
- },
299
- },
300
- });
301
-
302
- viewport.shortcuts.rebind('undo', 'mod+u');
303
- viewport.shortcuts.disable('select-all');
304
- viewport.shortcuts.reset(); // back to defaults
305
- viewport.shortcuts.getBindings(); // current table — render a settings UI
306
- ```
307
-
308
- ## Changing Tool Options at Runtime
309
-
310
- All drawing tools support `setOptions()` for changing color, width, and other settings without re-creating the tool:
311
-
312
- ```typescript
313
- // Get a tool by name (type-safe with generics)
314
- const pencil = viewport.toolManager.getTool<PencilTool>('pencil');
315
- const arrow = viewport.toolManager.getTool<ArrowTool>('arrow');
316
- const note = viewport.toolManager.getTool<NoteTool>('note');
317
-
318
- // Change colors
319
- pencil?.setOptions({ color: '#ff0000' });
320
- arrow?.setOptions({ color: '#ff0000' });
321
- note?.setOptions({ backgroundColor: '#e8f5e9' });
322
-
323
- // Change stroke width
324
- pencil?.setOptions({ width: 5 });
325
- arrow?.setOptions({ width: 3 });
326
- ```
327
-
328
- ### Stroke Smoothing
329
-
330
- The pencil tool automatically smooths freehand strokes using Ramer-Douglas-Peucker point simplification and Catmull-Rom curve fitting. You can control the smoothing tolerance:
331
-
332
- ```typescript
333
- new PencilTool({
334
- smoothing: 1.5, // default — higher = smoother, lower = more detail
335
- });
336
-
337
- // Or at runtime
338
- pencil?.setOptions({ smoothing: 3 });
339
- ```
340
-
341
- ### Pressure-Sensitive Width
342
-
343
- When using a stylus (Apple Pencil, Surface Pen), stroke width varies based on pressure automatically. The `width` option sets the **maximum** width at full pressure. Mouse input uses a default pressure of 0.5 for consistent-width strokes.
344
-
345
- Stroke points include pressure data in the `StrokePoint` type:
346
-
347
- ```typescript
348
- interface StrokePoint {
349
- x: number;
350
- y: number;
351
- pressure: number; // 0-1
352
- }
353
- ```
354
-
355
- ## Custom Tools
356
-
357
- Implement the `Tool` interface to create your own tools:
358
-
359
- ```typescript
360
- import type { Tool, ToolContext, PointerState } from '@fieldnotes/core';
361
-
362
- const myTool: Tool = {
363
- name: 'my-tool',
364
-
365
- onPointerDown(state: PointerState, ctx: ToolContext) {
366
- const world = ctx.camera.screenToWorld({ x: state.x, y: state.y });
367
- // state.pressure is available for stylus input (0-1)
368
- },
369
-
370
- onPointerMove(state: PointerState, ctx: ToolContext) {
371
- // called during drag
372
- },
373
-
374
- onPointerUp(state: PointerState, ctx: ToolContext) {
375
- // finalize action
376
- ctx.store.add(myElement);
377
- ctx.requestRender();
378
- },
379
-
380
- // Optional
381
- onActivate(ctx) {
382
- ctx.setCursor?.('crosshair');
383
- },
384
- onDeactivate(ctx) {
385
- ctx.setCursor?.('default');
386
- },
387
- renderOverlay(canvasCtx) {
388
- /* draw preview on canvas */
389
- },
390
- };
391
-
392
- viewport.toolManager.register(myTool);
393
- viewport.setTool('my-tool');
394
- ```
395
-
396
- ## Configuration
397
-
398
- ### Viewport Options
399
-
400
- ```typescript
401
- new Viewport(container, {
402
- camera: {
403
- minZoom: 0.1, // default: 0.1
404
- maxZoom: 10, // default: 10
405
- },
406
- background: {
407
- pattern: 'dots', // 'dots' | 'grid' | 'none' (default: 'dots')
408
- spacing: 24, // grid spacing in px (default: 24)
409
- color: '#d0d0d0', // dot/line color (default: '#d0d0d0')
410
- },
411
- // Called for every drop; replaces the built-in image-drop handling
412
- onDrop: (event, worldPosition) => {
413
- /* handle drop */
414
- },
415
- // Called when an image element fails to load; failed images render a gray
416
- // placeholder. Falls back to console.warn when unset.
417
- onImageError: ({ src, elementIds }) => {
418
- /* handle broken image */
419
- },
420
- });
421
- ```
422
-
423
- ### ViewportOptions reference
424
-
425
- - `camera?: CameraOptions` — `minZoom` / `maxZoom` (defaults `0.1` / `10`).
426
- - `background?: BackgroundOptions` — `pattern`, `spacing`, `color`.
427
- - `fontSizePresets?: FontSizePreset[]` — custom font-size steps for the note toolbar.
428
- - `toolbar?: boolean` — show/hide the note formatting toolbar (default `true`).
429
- - `placeholder?: string` — placeholder text shown in empty notes.
430
- - `shortcuts?: ShortcutOptions` — seed the keyboard shortcut table with custom bindings.
431
- - `onHtmlElementMount?` — called after `loadState` for HTML elements that need content injected.
432
- - `onDrop?` — called for every drop event; replaces the built-in image-drop handling.
433
- - `onImageError?` — called when an image element fails to load.
434
- - `panBufferMargin?: number` (default `256`) — CSS-pixel margin cached beyond the viewport so
435
- small pans re-composite instead of re-rasterizing the layers and grid. Larger = more pan
436
- reuse, more memory per layer. Set `0` to disable (exact-viewport caches) on memory-tight hosts.
437
-
438
- ### Tool Options
439
-
440
- ```typescript
441
- new PencilTool({ color: '#ff0000', width: 3, smoothing: 1.5 });
442
- new EraserTool({ radius: 30 }); // radius is screen pixels (converted to world units per zoom); mode: 'partial' (default) splits strokes at the erased span; mode: 'stroke' deletes the whole stroke
443
- new ArrowTool({ color: '#333', width: 2 });
444
- ```
445
-
446
- `PencilTool` also accepts `opacity` (0–1), `blendMode` (`'source-over'` | `'multiply'`), and `name` — so a highlighter tool is just a named pencil variant with multiply blending:
447
-
448
- ```typescript
449
- // Register a highlighter alongside the standard pencil
450
- viewport.toolManager.register(
451
- new PencilTool({
452
- name: 'highlighter',
453
- color: '#facc15',
454
- width: 12,
455
- opacity: 0.4,
456
- blendMode: 'multiply',
457
- }),
458
- );
459
- viewport.setTool('highlighter');
460
- ```
461
-
462
- `ShapeTool` supports a `'line'` shape kind that draws a straight segment between two points. Hold **Shift** while drawing to snap to 45° increments. Lines are hit-tested by proximity to the segment, and `ShapeElement.flip` records which diagonal of the bounding box the line runs along. When a line is selected, it shows two endpoint drag-handles instead of bounding-box resize handles — drag one endpoint to reshape the line while the other stays anchored.
463
-
464
- ### Arrow Labels
465
-
466
- Arrows support an optional `label` string, rendered as a pill at the curve midpoint. Pass it at creation or double-click an arrow on the canvas to add or edit the label inline.
467
-
468
- ```typescript
469
- createArrow({ from: { x: 0, y: 0 }, to: { x: 200, y: 0 }, label: 'depends on' });
470
- new NoteTool({ backgroundColor: '#fff9c4', size: { w: 200, h: 150 } });
471
- new ImageTool({ size: { w: 400, h: 300 } });
472
- ```
473
-
474
- ## Element Types

476
- All elements share a base shape:
477
-
478
- ```typescript
479
- interface BaseElement {
480
- id: string;
481
- type: string;
482
- position: { x: number; y: number };
483
- zIndex: number;
484
- locked: boolean;
485
- layerId: string;
486
- }
487
- ```

- ## Styling the Selection
501
-
502
- A normalized `ElementStyle` interface lets you read and apply visual properties across all element types through a single, consistent shape. The `SelectTool` emits a selection-change event; `Viewport` exposes four methods that together cover reactive UIs.
503
-
504
- ### `ElementStyle` interface
505
-
506
- ```typescript
507
- interface ElementStyle {
508
- color?: string; // stroke color / text color
509
- fillColor?: string; // fill / background color
510
- strokeWidth?: number; // line width in world-space units
511
- opacity?: number; // 0–1
512
- fontSize?: number; // px
513
- }
514
- ```
515
-
516
- #### Mapping across element types
517
-
518
- | `ElementStyle` field | `stroke` | `arrow` | `shape` | `note` | `text` |
519
- | -------------------- | --------- | ------- | ------------- | ----------------- | ---------- |
520
- | `color` | `color` | `color` | `strokeColor` | `textColor` | `color` |
521
- | `fillColor` | — | — | `fillColor` | `backgroundColor` | — |
522
- | `strokeWidth` | `width` | `width` | `strokeWidth` | — | — |
523
- | `opacity` | `opacity` | — | — | — | — |
524
- | `fontSize` | — | — | — | (via toolbar) | `fontSize` |
525
-
526
- ### Conversion helpers
527
-
528
- ```typescript
529
- import { styleToPatch, getElementStyle } from '@fieldnotes/core';
530
-
531
- // ElementStyle → element-specific patch object
532
- const patch = styleToPatch(element, { color: '#e00', strokeWidth: 3 });
533
- store.update(element.id, patch);
534
-
535
- // element → normalized ElementStyle
536
- const style = getElementStyle(element);
537
- ```
538
-
539
- ### Viewport methods
540
-
541
- - **`viewport.getSelectedIds()`** — returns the current selection as a referentially-stable array (the same array reference is reused across calls when the selection has not changed — safe for `useSyncExternalStore` equality checks).
542
- - **`viewport.onSelectionChange(listener)`** — subscribes to selection changes; returns an unsubscribe function. The listener receives the new stable id array.
543
- - **`viewport.getSelectionStyle()`** — returns an `ElementStyle` containing only the properties that are identical across every selected element. Properties that differ are omitted.
544
- - **`viewport.applyStyleToSelection(style)`** — applies the given `ElementStyle` to all selected elements in a single undo step.
545
-
546
- ### `SelectTool.onSelectionChange`
547
-
548
- ```typescript
549
- const selectTool = viewport.toolManager.getTool<SelectTool>('select');
550
- selectTool?.onSelectionChange((ids) => {
551
- console.log('selected:', ids);
552
- });
553
- ```
554
-
555
- ### Example
556
-
557
- ```typescript
558
- // Apply a red stroke to everything currently selected — one undo step
559
- viewport.applyStyleToSelection({ color: '#ff0000' });
560
-
561
- // Read back the shared style for a UI color picker
562
- const style = viewport.getSelectionStyle();
563
- // style.color is defined only if all selected elements share the same color
564
-
565
- // React to selection changes
566
- const unsub = viewport.onSelectionChange((ids) => {
567
- setSelectedIds(ids); // ids is referentially stable — safe for deps arrays
568
- });
569
- // call unsub() to unsubscribe
570
- ```
571
-
572
- ## Aligning the Selection
573
-
574
- Two methods on `Viewport` let you snap or space selected elements in one undo step.
575
-
576
- - **`viewport.alignSelection(edge)`** — `edge`: `AlignEdge` = `'left' | 'center-x' | 'right' | 'top' | 'middle' | 'bottom'`; aligns every selected element to the corresponding edge or center of the selection's bounding box. Needs 2+ selected elements. Locked elements anchor the bounding box without moving.
577
- - **`viewport.distributeSelection(axis)`** — `axis`: `DistributeAxis` = `'horizontal' | 'vertical'`; evenly spaces selected elements' centers along the axis. Needs 3+ selected elements. Locked elements anchor the span without moving.
578
-
579
- ```typescript
580
- viewport.alignSelection('left'); // flush left edges
581
- viewport.alignSelection('center-x'); // center on vertical axis
582
- viewport.alignSelection('middle'); // center on horizontal axis
583
- viewport.distributeSelection('horizontal'); // equal horizontal spacing
584
- ```
585
-
586
- Grids are ignored by both operations.
587
-
588
- ## Smart Alignment Guides
589
-
590
- Call `viewport.setSmartGuides(true)` to enable drag-time alignment snapping. While dragging a selection, its edges and centers snap to the edges and centers of nearby visible elements (within 6 screen pixels), and guide lines are drawn at each matched alignment. Smart guides replace grid snapping for the duration of the drag; the result is still committed as a single undo step.
591
-
592
- ```typescript
593
- viewport.setSmartGuides(true); // enable
594
- viewport.setSmartGuides(false); // disable (default)
595
- ```
596
-
597
- ## Grouping
598
-
599
- Group elements so they select, move, delete, z-order, and align as a single unit.
600
-
601
- - **`viewport.groupSelection()`** — groups the current selection under a new id.
602
- - **`viewport.ungroupSelection()`** — dissolves any groups in the current selection.
603
-
604
- Each is one undo step. Selecting any member selects its whole group, so to edit a single member individually, ungroup first. Pasting or duplicating a group keeps the copies grouped under a fresh id.
605
-
606
- ```typescript
607
- viewport.groupSelection(); // Ctrl/Cmd+G
608
- viewport.ungroupSelection(); // Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+G
609
- ```
610
-
611
- The shortcuts are rebindable as `group` and `ungroup`.
612
-
613
- ## Rotation
614
-
615
- Select a single element and a rotate handle appears above the selection box. Drag it to rotate the element about its center; hold **Shift** to snap to 15° increments. Notes, text, images, HTML embeds, shapes, and strokes can all be rotated.
616
-
617
- Hit-testing, marquee selection, and resize are all rotation-aware: resizing a rotated element keeps the opposite corner fixed in the element's local frame. Rotation is reflected in PNG export and round-trips through serialization (`rotation?` on elements, stored in radians).
618
-
619
- ## Built-in Interactions
620
-
621
- | Input | Action |
622
- | -------------------- | ------------------- |
623
- | Scroll wheel | Zoom |
624
- | Middle-click drag | Pan |
625
- | Space + drag | Pan |
626
- | Two-finger pinch | Zoom |
627
- | Two-finger drag | Pan |
628
- | Delete / Backspace | Remove selected |
629
- | Ctrl+Z / Cmd+Z | Undo |
630
- | Ctrl+Shift+Z / Cmd+Y | Redo |
631
- | Double-click note | Edit text |
632
- | Double-click HTML | Enter interact mode |
633
- | Escape | Exit interact mode |
634
-
635
- ## Browser Support
636
-
637
- Works in all modern browsers supporting Pointer Events API and HTML5 Canvas.
638
-
639
- ## Versioning
640
-
641
- `@fieldnotes/core` and `@fieldnotes/react` are versioned independently. The react
642
- package's `peerDependencies` declare the compatible core range. Pre-1.0, minor
643
- versions may contain breaking changes. The core peer range is bounded at the next major rather than per-minor; if a core minor
644
- ever breaks the wrapper, a coordinated react release raises the lower bound.

+
26
+ ## Install
27
+
28
+ ```bash
29
+ npm install @fieldnotes/core
30
+ ```
31
+
32
+ ## Quick Start
33
+
34
+ ```typescript
35
+ import {
36
+ Viewport,
37
+ HandTool,
38
+ SelectTool,
39
+ PencilTool,
40
+ EraserTool,
41
+ ArrowTool,
42
+ NoteTool,
43
+ } from '@fieldnotes/core';
44
+
45
+ // Mount on any container element
46
+ const viewport = new Viewport(document.getElementById('canvas'), {
47
+ background: { pattern: 'dots', spacing: 24 },
48
+ });
49
+
50
+ // Register tools
51
+ viewport.toolManager.register(new HandTool());
52
+ viewport.toolManager.register(new SelectTool());
53
+ viewport.toolManager.register(new PencilTool({ color: '#1a1a1a', width: 2 }));
54
+ viewport.toolManager.register(new EraserTool());
55
+ viewport.toolManager.register(new ArrowTool({ color: '#1a1a1a', width: 2 }));
56
+ viewport.toolManager.register(new NoteTool());
57
+
58
+ // Activate a tool
59
+ viewport.setTool('select');
60
+
61
+ // Clean up when done
62
+ viewport.destroy();
63
+ ```
64
+
65
+ Your container element needs a defined size (width/height). The canvas fills its container.
66
+
67
+ ## Embedding HTML Elements
68
+
69
+ The main differentiator — embed any DOM node as a fully interactive canvas element:
70
+
71
+ ```typescript
72
+ const card = document.createElement('div');
73
+ card.innerHTML = '<h3>My Card</h3><button>Click me</button>';
74
+
75
+ // Buttons, inputs, links — everything works
76
+ card.querySelector('button').addEventListener('click', () => {
77
+ console.log('Clicked inside the canvas!');
78
+ });
79
+
80
+ const elementId = viewport.addHtmlElement(card, { x: 100, y: 200 }, { w: 250, h: 150 });
81
+ ```
82
+
83
+ HTML elements pan, zoom, and resize with the canvas. They use a **two-mode interaction model**:
84
+
85
+ - **Default** — the element can be selected, dragged, and resized like any other element
86
+ - **Double-click** — enters interact mode, making buttons, inputs, and links work
87
+ - **Escape** or **click outside** — exits interact mode
88
+
89
+ You can also exit interact mode programmatically:
90
+
91
+ ```typescript
92
+ viewport.stopInteracting();
93
+ ```
94
+
95
+ ## Adding Images
96
+
97
+ ```typescript
98
+ // Programmatic
99
+ viewport.addImage('https://example.com/photo.jpg', { x: 0, y: 0 });
100
+ viewport.addImage('/assets/map.png', { x: 0, y: 0 }, { w: 800, h: 600 });
101
+
102
+ // Drag & drop is handled automatically — drop images onto the canvas
103
+ ```
104
+
105
+ > **Important: Use URLs, not base64 data URLs.** Images are stored inline in the serialized state. A single base64-encoded photo can be 2-5MB, which will blow past the `localStorage` ~5MB quota and make JSON exports impractical. Upload images to your server or CDN and use the URL. For offline/local-first apps, store blobs in IndexedDB and reference them by URL.
106
+
107
+ ## Grids
108
+
109
+ Add square or hex grid overlays — useful for D&D combat maps, alignment, or graph paper backgrounds. Grids always render on top of images and other layer elements.
110
+
111
+ ```typescript
112
+ // Add a hex grid
113
+ viewport.addGrid({
114
+ gridType: 'hex',
115
+ hexOrientation: 'pointy', // 'pointy' | 'flat'
116
+ cellSize: 40,
117
+ strokeColor: '#cccccc',
118
+ strokeWidth: 1,
119
+ opacity: 0.5,
120
+ });
121
+
122
+ // Update grid properties
123
+ viewport.updateGrid({ cellSize: 50, strokeColor: '#aaaaaa' });
124
+
125
+ // Remove grid
126
+ viewport.removeGrid();
127
+ ```
128
+
129
+ ## Image Export
130
+
131
+ Export the canvas as a PNG image:
132
+
133
+ ```typescript
134
+ const blob = await viewport.exportImage({
135
+ scale: 2, // pixel density (default 2)
136
+ padding: 20, // world-space padding around content (default 0)
137
+ background: '#fff', // fill color (default '#ffffff')
138
+ filter: (el) => el.type !== 'html', // optional per-element filter
139
+ });
140
+ ```
141
+
142
+ HTML elements are excluded from image exports (DOM cannot be rasterized to canvas). Cross-origin images are handled automatically via CORS cache-busting.
143
+
144
+ ## Performance Monitoring
145
+
146
+ ```typescript
147
+ // Get a snapshot of render stats
148
+ const stats = viewport.getRenderStats();
149
+ // { fps, avgFrameMs, p95FrameMs, lastGridMs, frameCount }
150
+
151
+ // Log stats to console every 2 seconds (returns stop function)
152
+ const stop = viewport.logPerformance(2000);
153
+ // [FieldNotes] fps=60 frame=1.2ms p95=2.1ms grid=0.1ms
154
+ stop(); // stop logging
155
+ ```
156
+
157
+ ## Camera Control
158
+
159
+ ```typescript
160
+ const { camera } = viewport;
161
+
162
+ camera.pan(100, 50); // pan by offset
163
+ camera.moveTo(0, 0); // jump to position
164
+ camera.setZoom(2); // set zoom level
165
+ camera.zoomAt(1.5, { x: 400, y: 300 }); // zoom toward screen point
166
+
167
+ const world = camera.screenToWorld({ x: e.clientX, y: e.clientY });
168
+ const screen = camera.worldToScreen({ x: 0, y: 0 });
169
+
170
+ camera.onChange(() => {
171
+ /* camera moved */
172
+ });
173
+ ```
174
+
175
+ ## Element Store
176
+
177
+ Direct access to canvas elements:
178
+
179
+ ```typescript
180
+ const { store } = viewport;
181
+
182
+ const all = store.getAll(); // sorted by zIndex
183
+ const el = store.getById('some-id');
184
+ const strokes = store.getElementsByType('stroke');
185
+
186
+ store.update('some-id', { locked: true });
187
+ store.remove('some-id');
188
+
189
+ store.on('add', (el) => console.log('added', el));
190
+ store.on('remove', (el) => console.log('removed', el));
191
+ store.on('update', ({ previous, current }) => {
192
+ /* ... */
193
+ });
194
+ ```
195
+
196
+ ## Undo / Redo
197
+
198
+ ```typescript
199
+ viewport.undo();
200
+ viewport.redo();
201
+
202
+ viewport.history.canUndo; // boolean
203
+ viewport.history.canRedo; // boolean
204
+ viewport.history.onChange(() => {
205
+ /* update UI */
206
+ });
207
+ ```
208
+
209
+ ## Layers
210
+
211
+ Organize elements into named layers with visibility, lock, and ordering controls. All elements on a higher layer render above all elements on a lower layer, regardless of individual z-index.
212
+
213
+ ```typescript
214
+ const { layerManager } = viewport;
215
+
216
+ // Create layers
217
+ const background = layerManager.activeLayer; // "Layer 1" exists by default
218
+ layerManager.renameLayer(background.id, 'Map');
219
+ const tokens = layerManager.createLayer('Tokens');
220
+ const notes = layerManager.createLayer('Notes');
221
+
222
+ // Set active layer — new elements are created on the active layer
223
+ layerManager.setActiveLayer(tokens.id);
224
+
225
+ // Visibility and locking
226
+ layerManager.setLayerVisible(background.id, false); // hide
227
+ layerManager.setLayerLocked(background.id, true); // prevent selection/editing
228
+
229
+ // Move elements between layers
230
+ layerManager.moveElementToLayer(elementId, notes.id);
231
+
232
+ // Reorder layers
233
+ layerManager.reorderLayer(tokens.id, 5); // higher order = renders on top
234
+
235
+ // Query
236
+ layerManager.getLayers(); // sorted by order
237
+ layerManager.isLayerVisible(id);
238
+ layerManager.isLayerLocked(id);
239
+
240
+ // Listen for changes
241
+ layerManager.on('change', () => {
242
+ /* update UI */
243
+ });
244
+ ```
245
+
246
+ Locked layers prevent selection, erasing, and arrow binding on their elements. Hidden layers are invisible and non-interactive. The active layer cannot be hidden or locked — if you try, it automatically switches to the next available layer.
247
+
248
+ ## State Serialization
249
+
250
+ ```typescript
251
+ // Save
252
+ const json = viewport.exportJSON();
253
+ localStorage.setItem('canvas', json);
254
+
255
+ // Load
256
+ viewport.loadJSON(localStorage.getItem('canvas'));
257
+ ```
258
+
259
+ > **Note:** Serialized state includes all layers and element `layerId` assignments. States saved before layers were introduced are automatically migrated — elements are placed on a default "Layer 1".
260
+
261
+ > **Two equivalent pairs:** `exportJSON()` / `loadJSON()` work with strings and are the
262
+ > canonical choice for persistence. `exportState()` / `loadState()` work with in-memory
263
+ > `CanvasState` objects, skipping the JSON round-trip — this is what `AutoSave` uses. The
264
+ > module-level `exportState` / `parseState` functions are no longer exported; use the
265
+ > `Viewport` methods.
266
+
267
+ ## Tool Switching
268
+
269
+ ```typescript
270
+ viewport.setTool('pencil');
271
+ viewport.setTool('hand');
272
+
273
+ viewport.toolManager.onChange((toolName) => {
274
+ console.log('switched to', toolName);
275
+ });
276
+ ```
277
+
278
+ ## Keyboard shortcuts
279
+
280
+ Defaults (remappable): `Delete`/`Backspace` delete · `Escape` deselect · `mod+Z` undo ·
281
+ `mod+Y`/`mod+Shift+Z` redo · `mod+A` select all · `mod+C/V/D` copy/paste/duplicate ·
282
+ `[`/`]` z-order (with `mod` = to back/front) · `Shift+1` zoom-to-fit · `mod+=` zoom in ·
283
+ `mod+-` zoom out · `mod+0` reset zoom to 100% · arrows nudge
284
+ (`Shift` = one grid cell) · tool keys `V` select, `H` hand, `P` pencil, `E` eraser,
285
+ `A` arrow, `N` note, `T` text, `S` shape, `M` measure, `G` template.
286
+
287
+ `mod` = Ctrl or Cmd. Shortcuts fire only while the canvas has focus (click it once);
288
+ pass `shortcuts: { scope: 'window' }` for page-wide handling.
289
+
290
+ ```ts
291
+ const viewport = new Viewport(el, {
292
+ shortcuts: {
293
+ bindings: {
294
+ duplicate: 'mod+shift+d', // remap
295
+ 'tool:pencil': ['p', 'b'], // multiple bindings
296
+ copy: null, // disable
297
+ 'tool:my-custom-tool': 'f', // any registered tool works
298
+ },
299
+ },
300
+ });
301
+
302
+ viewport.shortcuts.rebind('undo', 'mod+u');
303
+ viewport.shortcuts.disable('select-all');
304
+ viewport.shortcuts.reset(); // back to defaults
305
+ viewport.shortcuts.getBindings(); // current table — render a settings UI
306
+ ```
307
+
308
+ ## Changing Tool Options at Runtime
309
+
310
+ All drawing tools support `setOptions()` for changing color, width, and other settings without re-creating the tool:
311
+
312
+ ```typescript
313
+ // Get a tool by name (type-safe with generics)
314
+ const pencil = viewport.toolManager.getTool<PencilTool>('pencil');
315
+ const arrow = viewport.toolManager.getTool<ArrowTool>('arrow');
316
+ const note = viewport.toolManager.getTool<NoteTool>('note');
317
+
318
+ // Change colors
319
+ pencil?.setOptions({ color: '#ff0000' });
320
+ arrow?.setOptions({ color: '#ff0000' });
321
+ note?.setOptions({ backgroundColor: '#e8f5e9' });
322
+
323
+ // Change stroke width
324
+ pencil?.setOptions({ width: 5 });
325
+ arrow?.setOptions({ width: 3 });
326
+ ```
327
+
328
+ ### Stroke Smoothing
329
+
330
+ The pencil tool automatically smooths freehand strokes using Ramer-Douglas-Peucker point simplification and Catmull-Rom curve fitting. You can control the smoothing tolerance:
331
+
332
+ ```typescript
333
+ new PencilTool({
334
+ smoothing: 1.5, // default — higher = smoother, lower = more detail
335
+ });
336
+
337
+ // Or at runtime
338
+ pencil?.setOptions({ smoothing: 3 });
339
+ ```
340
+
341
+ ### Pressure-Sensitive Width
342
+
343
+ When using a stylus (Apple Pencil, Surface Pen), stroke width varies based on pressure automatically. The `width` option sets the **maximum** width at full pressure. Mouse input uses a default pressure of 0.5 for consistent-width strokes.
344
+
345
+ Stroke points include pressure data in the `StrokePoint` type:
346
+
347
+ ```typescript
348
+ interface StrokePoint {
349
+ x: number;
350
+ y: number;
351
+ pressure: number; // 0-1
352
+ }
353
+ ```
354
+
355
+ ## Custom Tools
356
+
357
+ Implement the `Tool` interface to create your own tools:
358
+
359
+ ```typescript
360
+ import type { Tool, ToolContext, PointerState } from '@fieldnotes/core';
361
+
362
+ const myTool: Tool = {
363
+ name: 'my-tool',
364
+
365
+ onPointerDown(state: PointerState, ctx: ToolContext) {
366
+ const world = ctx.camera.screenToWorld({ x: state.x, y: state.y });
367
+ // state.pressure is available for stylus input (0-1)
368
+ },
369
+
370
+ onPointerMove(state: PointerState, ctx: ToolContext) {
371
+ // called during drag
372
+ },
373
+
374
+ onPointerUp(state: PointerState, ctx: ToolContext) {
375
+ // finalize action
376
+ ctx.store.add(myElement);
377
+ ctx.requestRender();
378
+ },
379
+
380
+ // Optional
381
+ onActivate(ctx) {
382
+ ctx.setCursor?.('crosshair');
383
+ },
384
+ onDeactivate(ctx) {
385
+ ctx.setCursor?.('default');
386
+ },
387
+ renderOverlay(canvasCtx) {
388
+ /* draw preview on canvas */
389
+ },
390
+ };
391
+
392
+ viewport.toolManager.register(myTool);
393
+ viewport.setTool('my-tool');
394
+ ```
395
+
396
+ ## Configuration
397
+
398
+ ### Viewport Options
399
+
400
+ ```typescript
401
+ new Viewport(container, {
402
+ camera: {
403
+ minZoom: 0.1, // default: 0.1
404
+ maxZoom: 10, // default: 10
405
+ },
406
+ background: {
407
+ pattern: 'dots', // 'dots' | 'grid' | 'none' (default: 'dots')
408
+ spacing: 24, // grid spacing in px (default: 24)
409
+ color: '#d0d0d0', // dot/line color (default: '#d0d0d0')
410
+ },
411
+ // Called for every drop; replaces the built-in image-drop handling
412
+ onDrop: (event, worldPosition) => {
413
+ /* handle drop */
414
+ },
415
+ // Called when an image element fails to load; failed images render a gray
416
+ // placeholder. Falls back to console.warn when unset.
417
+ onImageError: ({ src, elementIds }) => {
418
+ /* handle broken image */
419
+ },
420
+ });
421
+ ```
422
+
423
+ ### ViewportOptions reference
424
+
425
+ - `camera?: CameraOptions` — `minZoom` / `maxZoom` (defaults `0.1` / `10`).
426
+ - `background?: BackgroundOptions` — `pattern`, `spacing`, `color`.
427
+ - `fontSizePresets?: FontSizePreset[]` — custom font-size steps for the note toolbar.
428
+ - `toolbar?: boolean` — show/hide the note formatting toolbar (default `true`).
429
+ - `placeholder?: string` — placeholder text shown in empty notes.
430
+ - `shortcuts?: ShortcutOptions` — seed the keyboard shortcut table with custom bindings.
431
+ - `onHtmlElementMount?` — called after `loadState` for HTML elements that need content injected.
432
+ - `onDrop?` — called for every drop event; replaces the built-in image-drop handling.
433
+ - `onImageError?` — called when an image element fails to load.
434
+ - `panBufferMargin?: number` (default `256`) — CSS-pixel margin cached beyond the viewport so
435
+ small pans re-composite instead of re-rasterizing the layers and grid. Larger = more pan
436
+ reuse, more memory per layer. Set `0` to disable (exact-viewport caches) on memory-tight hosts.
437
+
438
+ ### Tool Options
439
+
440
+ ```typescript
441
+ new PencilTool({ color: '#ff0000', width: 3, smoothing: 1.5 });
442
+ new EraserTool({ radius: 30 }); // radius is screen pixels (converted to world units per zoom); mode: 'partial' (default) splits strokes at the erased span; mode: 'stroke' deletes the whole stroke
443
+ new ArrowTool({ color: '#333', width: 2 });
444
+ ```
445
+
446
+ `PencilTool` also accepts `opacity` (0–1), `blendMode` (`'source-over'` | `'multiply'`), and `name` — so a highlighter tool is just a named pencil variant with multiply blending:
447
+
448
+ ```typescript
449
+ // Register a highlighter alongside the standard pencil
450
+ viewport.toolManager.register(
451
+ new PencilTool({
452
+ name: 'highlighter',
453
+ color: '#facc15',
454
+ width: 12,
455
+ opacity: 0.4,
456
+ blendMode: 'multiply',
457
+ }),
458
+ );
459
+ viewport.setTool('highlighter');
460
+ ```
461
+
462
+ `ShapeTool` supports a `'line'` shape kind that draws a straight segment between two points. Hold **Shift** while drawing to snap to 45° increments. Lines are hit-tested by proximity to the segment, and `ShapeElement.flip` records which diagonal of the bounding box the line runs along. When a line is selected, it shows two endpoint drag-handles instead of bounding-box resize handles — drag one endpoint to reshape the line while the other stays anchored.
463
+
464
+ ### Arrow Labels
465
+
466
+ Arrows support an optional `label` string, rendered as a pill at the curve midpoint. Pass it at creation or double-click an arrow on the canvas to add or edit the label inline.
467
+
468
+ ```typescript
469
+ createArrow({ from: { x: 0, y: 0 }, to: { x: 200, y: 0 }, label: 'depends on' });
470
+ new NoteTool({ backgroundColor: '#fff9c4', size: { w: 200, h: 150 } });
471
+ new ImageTool({ size: { w: 400, h: 300 } });
472
+ ```
473
+
474
+ ## Element Types
475
+
476
+ All elements share a base shape:
477
+
478
+ ```typescript
479
+ interface BaseElement {
480
+ id: string;
481
+ type: string;
482
+ position: { x: number; y: number };
483
+ zIndex: number;
484
+ locked: boolean;
485
+ layerId: string;
486
+ }
487
+ ```
488
+
489
+ | Type | Key Fields |
490
+ | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
491
+ | `stroke` | `points: StrokePoint[]`, `color`, `width`, `opacity` |
492
+ | `note` | `size`, `text`, `backgroundColor`, `textColor` |
493
+ | `arrow` | `from`, `to`, `bend`, `color`, `width`, `fromBinding`, `toBinding` |
494
+ | `image` | `size`, `src` |
495
+ | `shape` | `size`, `shape` (`rectangle` \| `ellipse` \| `line`), `strokeColor`, `fillColor`, `flip` (`boolean` — which bbox diagonal a line runs along) |
496
+ | `text` | `size`, `text`, `fontSize`, `color`, `textAlign` |
497
+ | `grid` | `gridType` (`square` \| `hex`), `hexOrientation`, `cellSize`, `strokeColor`, `opacity` |
498
+ | `html` | `size` |
499
+
500
+ ## Styling the Selection
501
+
502
+ A normalized `ElementStyle` interface lets you read and apply visual properties across all element types through a single, consistent shape. The `SelectTool` emits a selection-change event; `Viewport` exposes four methods that together cover reactive UIs.
503
+
504
+ ### `ElementStyle` interface
505
+
506
+ ```typescript
507
+ interface ElementStyle {
508
+ color?: string; // stroke color / text color
509
+ fillColor?: string; // fill / background color
510
+ strokeWidth?: number; // line width in world-space units
511
+ opacity?: number; // 0–1
512
+ fontSize?: number; // px
513
+ }
514
+ ```
515
+
516
+ #### Mapping across element types
517
+
518
+ | `ElementStyle` field | `stroke` | `arrow` | `shape` | `note` | `text` |
519
+ | -------------------- | --------- | ------- | ------------- | ----------------- | ---------- |
520
+ | `color` | `color` | `color` | `strokeColor` | `textColor` | `color` |
521
+ | `fillColor` | — | — | `fillColor` | `backgroundColor` | — |
522
+ | `strokeWidth` | `width` | `width` | `strokeWidth` | — | — |
523
+ | `opacity` | `opacity` | — | — | — | — |
524
+ | `fontSize` | — | — | — | (via toolbar) | `fontSize` |
525
+
526
+ ### Conversion helpers
527
+
528
+ ```typescript
529
+ import { styleToPatch, getElementStyle } from '@fieldnotes/core';
530
+
531
+ // ElementStyle → element-specific patch object
532
+ const patch = styleToPatch(element, { color: '#e00', strokeWidth: 3 });
533
+ store.update(element.id, patch);
534
+
535
+ // element → normalized ElementStyle
536
+ const style = getElementStyle(element);
537
+ ```
538
+
539
+ ### Viewport methods
540
+
541
+ - **`viewport.getSelectedIds()`** — returns the current selection as a referentially-stable array (the same array reference is reused across calls when the selection has not changed — safe for `useSyncExternalStore` equality checks).
542
+ - **`viewport.onSelectionChange(listener)`** — subscribes to selection changes; returns an unsubscribe function. The listener receives the new stable id array.
543
+ - **`viewport.getSelectionStyle()`** — returns an `ElementStyle` containing only the properties that are identical across every selected element. Properties that differ are omitted.
544
+ - **`viewport.applyStyleToSelection(style)`** — applies the given `ElementStyle` to all selected elements in a single undo step.
545
+
546
+ ### `SelectTool.onSelectionChange`
547
+
548
+ ```typescript
549
+ const selectTool = viewport.toolManager.getTool<SelectTool>('select');
550
+ selectTool?.onSelectionChange((ids) => {
551
+ console.log('selected:', ids);
552
+ });
553
+ ```
554
+
555
+ ### Example
556
+
557
+ ```typescript
558
+ // Apply a red stroke to everything currently selected — one undo step
559
+ viewport.applyStyleToSelection({ color: '#ff0000' });
560
+
561
+ // Read back the shared style for a UI color picker
562
+ const style = viewport.getSelectionStyle();
563
+ // style.color is defined only if all selected elements share the same color
564
+
565
+ // React to selection changes
566
+ const unsub = viewport.onSelectionChange((ids) => {
567
+ setSelectedIds(ids); // ids is referentially stable — safe for deps arrays
568
+ });
569
+ // call unsub() to unsubscribe
570
+ ```
571
+
572
+ ## Aligning the Selection
573
+
574
+ Two methods on `Viewport` let you snap or space selected elements in one undo step.
575
+
576
+ - **`viewport.alignSelection(edge)`** — `edge`: `AlignEdge` = `'left' | 'center-x' | 'right' | 'top' | 'middle' | 'bottom'`; aligns every selected element to the corresponding edge or center of the selection's bounding box. Needs 2+ selected elements. Locked elements anchor the bounding box without moving.
577
+ - **`viewport.distributeSelection(axis)`** — `axis`: `DistributeAxis` = `'horizontal' | 'vertical'`; evenly spaces selected elements' centers along the axis. Needs 3+ selected elements. Locked elements anchor the span without moving.
578
+
579
+ ```typescript
580
+ viewport.alignSelection('left'); // flush left edges
581
+ viewport.alignSelection('center-x'); // center on vertical axis
582
+ viewport.alignSelection('middle'); // center on horizontal axis
583
+ viewport.distributeSelection('horizontal'); // equal horizontal spacing
584
+ ```
585
+
586
+ Grids are ignored by both operations.
587
+
588
+ ## Smart Alignment Guides
589
+
590
+ Call `viewport.setSmartGuides(true)` to enable drag-time alignment snapping. While dragging a selection, its edges and centers snap to the edges and centers of nearby visible elements (within 6 screen pixels), and guide lines are drawn at each matched alignment. Smart guides replace grid snapping for the duration of the drag; the result is still committed as a single undo step.
591
+
592
+ ```typescript
593
+ viewport.setSmartGuides(true); // enable
594
+ viewport.setSmartGuides(false); // disable (default)
595
+ ```
596
+
597
+ ## Grouping
598
+
599
+ Group elements so they select, move, delete, z-order, and align as a single unit.
600
+
601
+ - **`viewport.groupSelection()`** — groups the current selection under a new id.
602
+ - **`viewport.ungroupSelection()`** — dissolves any groups in the current selection.
603
+
604
+ Each is one undo step. Selecting any member selects its whole group, so to edit a single member individually, ungroup first. Pasting or duplicating a group keeps the copies grouped under a fresh id.
605
+
606
+ ```typescript
607
+ viewport.groupSelection(); // Ctrl/Cmd+G
608
+ viewport.ungroupSelection(); // Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+G
609
+ ```
610
+
611
+ The shortcuts are rebindable as `group` and `ungroup`.
612
+
613
+ ## Rotation
614
+
615
+ Select a single element and a rotate handle appears above the selection box. Drag it to rotate the element about its center; hold **Shift** to snap to 15° increments. Notes, text, images, HTML embeds, shapes, and strokes can all be rotated.
616
+
617
+ Hit-testing, marquee selection, and resize are all rotation-aware: resizing a rotated element keeps the opposite corner fixed in the element's local frame. Rotation is reflected in PNG export and round-trips through serialization (`rotation?` on elements, stored in radians).
618
+
619
+ ## Context menu & lock
620
+
621
+ Right-click (desktop) or touch long-press (tablet) opens a context menu over the canvas with Cut/Copy/Paste/Duplicate/Delete, z-order (to front / forward / backward / to back), and Lock/Unlock. The menu is core-provided (plain DOM) and selects the element under the pointer if it isn't already selected. Opt out with `new Viewport(el, { contextMenu: false })`.
622
+
623
+ Lock with **`viewport.toggleLockSelection()`** or **Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+L**; a lock badge appears on the selection. Locked elements stay selectable but can't be moved, resized, or rotated. **Ctrl/Cmd+X** cuts the selection. The shortcuts are rebindable as `toggle-lock` and `cut`.
624
+
625
+ You can drive any menu action programmatically with **`viewport.runAction(name)`** (e.g. `'cut'`, `'paste'`, `'toggle-lock'`), and **`viewport.canPaste()`** reports whether the clipboard has content.

645
+ Works in all modern browsers supporting Pointer Events API and HTML5 Canvas.
646
+
647
+ ## Versioning
648
+
649
+ `@fieldnotes/core` and `@fieldnotes/react` are versioned independently. The react
650
+ package's `peerDependencies` declare the compatible core range. Pre-1.0, minor
651
+ versions may contain breaking changes. The core peer range is bounded at the next major rather than per-minor; if a core minor
652
+ ever breaks the wrapper, a coordinated react release raises the lower bound.
