capture-signature
Version compatibility
The
capture-signature
component was visually updated in version 4.74.0 of the JourneyApps Runtime.Allows users to capture a signature digitally.
Signatures are captured as SVG's with a path that describes it. That path can be accessed using toText():
// Get the SVG text of the signature as XML
// Assuming the name of the signature is `captured_sig`
var signatureSVG = view.captured_sig.toText();
Signatures can also be printed using a Zebra bluetooth printer (see docs) directly from version 4.34.4 of the JourneyApps Container. The Zebra printer uses a language called ZPL, so we can convert the signature to ZPL by using:
// Get the SVG text of the signature as ZPL
// Assuming the name of the signature is `captured_sig`
var signatureSVG = view.captured_sig.toZPL();
<var name="my_signature" type="signature" />
<capture-signature label="Add a signature" bind="my_signature" required="true" />
