Signature Module

The Signature module captures a handwritten signature on a touch surface or mouse-driven canvas and uploads it to the backend.

The Signature module captures a handwritten signature on a touch surface or mouse-driven canvas and uploads it to the backend.

Follows a slim variant of the document-signing pattern — there's no document review or consent step, just capture-and-submit. See the patterns page for the shared lifecycle.

Tag

<incode-signature> is a standard Web Component. Importing the UI subpath registers the custom element; importing the CSS applies the module's styles.

import '@incodetech/web/signature';
import '@incodetech/web/signature/styles.css';

Properties

Property	Type	Required	Description
`config`	`SignatureConfig`	❌	Configuration options
`onFinish`	`() => void`	❌	Called when the signature is submitted
`onError`	`(error: string) => void`	❌	Called when an error occurs

Configuration

type SignatureConfig = {
  type?: string;
  title?: string;
  subTitle?: string;
  sendBase64?: boolean;
  canvasBackgroundColor?: string;
  penStrokeWidth?: number;
  penColor?: string;
  canvasBorderColor?: string;
};

Option	Type	Required	Description
`type`	`string`	❌	Backend-side signature type identifier.
`title`	`string`	❌	Optional header title. Defaults to a translated "Draw your signature" copy.
`subTitle`	`string`	❌	Optional subtitle. Note the capital T (matches the backend field).
`sendBase64`	`boolean`	❌	When `true`, upload as base64 JSON (Omni v2). When `false` (default), upload raw `image/jpeg` bytes.
`canvasBackgroundColor`	`string`	❌	CSS color or `var(--token)` for the drawing area background.
`penStrokeWidth`	`number`	❌	Maximum stroke width in CSS pixels (passed through to `signature_pad`'s `maxWidth`).
`penColor`	`string`	❌	Ink color.
`canvasBorderColor`	`string`	❌	Border color of the drawing surface.

State machine

SignatureState is a discriminated union over status:

Status	Description
`idle`	Initial state.
`capture`	User is drawing on the canvas.
`submitting`	Uploading the captured signature image.
`success`	Upload accepted.
`finished`	Terminal.
`error`	Fatal error.

API methods

Method	Purpose
`load()`	Start the machine; transitions to `capture`.
`setSignatureValid(isValid)`	Update validity (e.g., enabled when the canvas has at least one stroke).
`submit(image)`	Submit the signature. `image` is a base64 string or `Blob` per `sendBase64`.

Plus the universal lifecycle: subscribe, getState, reset, stop.
