Question 1

How do I save a signature as an image file in Vue 3 using vue3-signature?

Accepted Answer

Use the `save` method on the component ref to get a base64 data URL, then create a download link programmatically. The README shows examples for PNG, JPEG, and SVG formats with code snippets.

Question 2

Vue3 Signature vs using signature_pad directly: which is better for Vue projects?

Accepted Answer

Vue3 Signature is ideal for Vue 3 projects as it provides Vue-native components, events, and TypeScript support. Using signature_pad directly requires more setup but might offer finer control in non-Vue environments.

Question 3

How to add undo functionality to a signature pad in Vue?

Accepted Answer

Call the `undo` method on the component ref; it supports multiple undo steps. The README includes a clear example with a button binding to demonstrate this feature.

Question 4

Does vue3-signature work with Nuxt 3 or server-side rendering?

Accepted Answer

It's canvas-based, so SSR can cause hydration issues since canvas rendering is client-side. The README doesn't address SSR, so it's best used in client-rendered Vue 3 apps.

Question 5

Can I customize the pen color and stroke width dynamically?

Accepted Answer

Yes, update the `sigOption` prop with new values like penColor, minWidth, or maxWidth. The component watches these options deeply and redraws the signature accordingly.

Question 6

Is vue3-signature accessible for screen readers?

Accepted Answer

No, it lacks native accessibility due to canvas usage. You'll need to add ARIA attributes and provide fallbacks, as mentioned in the cons regarding accessibility limitations.
