Props​

width

number

The width of the rectangle.

height

number

The height of the rectangle.

fill

string

The color of the shape.

stroke

string

The color of the stroke. Should be used together with strokeWidth.

strokeWidth

string

The width of the stroke. Should be used together with stroke.

style

string

CSS properties that will be applied to the <svg> tag. Default style: overflow: 'visible'

pathStyle

string

CSS properties that will be applied to the <path> tag. Default style: transform-box: 'fill-box' and a dynamically calculated transform-origin which is the center of the shape, so that the shape rotates around its center by default.

strokeDasharray

string

Allows to animate a path. See evolvePath() for an example.

strokeDashoffset

string

Allows to animate a path. See evolvePath() for an example.

cornerRadius

number

Rounds the corner using an arc. Similar to CSS's border-radius. Cannot be used together with edgeRoundness.

edgeRoundness

null | number

Allows to modify the shape by rounding the edges using bezier curves. Default null.

0 will lead to a rotated rectangle being drawn inside the natural dimensions of the rectangle.
(4 * (Math.sqrt(2) - 1)) / 3 will draw a circle.
1 will draw a squircle.
Values below 0 and above 1 are possible and may result in interesting shapes. Pictured: 2

Cannot be used together with cornerRadius.

debug

boolean

If enabled, draws the lines for Bézier curves. This is meant for debugging, note that the visuals may change in any version.

Other props

All other props that can be passed to a <path> are accepted and will be forwarded.
