@burnmark-io/designer-vue

Vue 3 composable for @burnmark-io/designer-core — the headless label design engine behind burnmark.io.

Wraps a LabelDesigner instance in reactive state, manages a debounced render loop with stale-result cancellation, exposes selection state, and re-exports the core actions.

Install

pnpm add @burnmark-io/designer-vue @burnmark-io/designer-core vue

vue (>=3.3) and @burnmark-io/designer-core are peer dependencies.

Quick start

<script setup lang="ts">
import { useLabelDesigner } from '@burnmark-io/designer-vue';

const { document, bitmap, isRendering, canUndo, canRedo, add, undo, redo } = useLabelDesigner({
  canvas: { widthDots: 696, heightDots: 0, dpi: 300 },
});

function addHello() {
  add({
    type: 'text',
    x: 10,
    y: 10,
    width: 200,
    height: 40,
    rotation: 0,
    opacity: 1,
    locked: false,
    visible: true,
    color: '#000000',
    content: 'Hello',
    fontFamily: 'Burnmark Sans',
    fontSize: 20,
    fontWeight: 'normal',
    fontStyle: 'normal',
    textAlign: 'left',
    verticalAlign: 'top',
    letterSpacing: 0,
    lineHeight: 1.2,
    invert: false,
    wrap: false,
    autoHeight: false,
  });
}
</script>

<template>
  <button @click="addHello">Add text</button>
  <button :disabled="!canUndo" @click="undo">Undo</button>
  <button :disabled="!canRedo" @click="redo">Redo</button>
  <p v-if="isRendering">rendering…</p>
  <p>{{ document.objects.length }} objects</p>
</template>

What you get back

Plus the full designer action surface: add, update, remove, reorder, get, getAll, setCanvas, undo, redo, clearHistory, loadDocument, newDocument, toJSON, fromJSON, getPlaceholders, applyVariables, render (force immediate), exportPng, exportPdf, exportSheet, exportBundled.

Options

useLabelDesigner({
  canvas?: Partial<CanvasConfig>;            // when binding constructs the designer
  name?: string;
  designer?: LabelDesigner;                  // wrap an externally-owned instance
  capabilities?: PrinterCapabilities;        // switches render to multi-plane mode
  renderDebounceMs?: number;                 // default 200
  renderOnMount?: boolean;                   // default true — initial bitmap without user action
  maxHistoryDepth?: number;
  assetLoader?: AssetLoader;
});

Notes

• document is a shallowRef. Core mutates the document in place — the composable replaces the ref on every change event to force reactivity. Do not deeply watch the document object tree; watch document itself.
• Renders are debounced and cancellable. If a newer change arrives while a render is in flight, the stale result is discarded via a generation counter.
• exportBundled() returns { blob, missing } — the list of asset keys the bundler could not resolve, mirroring the core contract.
• All event listeners and pending timers are cleaned up via onScopeDispose, which fires on component unmount or manual effectScope().stop().
