Hanzi Writer Wechat Miniprogram Plugin (微信小程序组件)

This component can be used in a Wechat miniprogram to add Hanzi Writer for character stroke animations and quizzing.

Installation

npm install hanzi-writer-miniprogram

Usage

In your page.json, first add the following to enable the hanzi-writer-view component:

{
  "usingComponents": {
    "hanzi-writer-view": "hanzi-writer-miniprogram/hanzi-writer-view"
  }
}

Then, add a hanzi-writer-view component to your page. You must add an id, width, and height, like below:

<hanzi-writer-view id="hz-writer" width="300" height="300" />

Then in your page, you can control the view via createHanziWriterContext(options), like below:

import createHanziWriterContext from 'hanzi-writer-miniprogram';

Page({
  onLoad: function() {
    this.writerCtx = createHanziWriterContext({
      id: 'hz-writer',
      character: '你',
      page: this,
    });

    // You can call any normal HanziWriter method here
    this.writerCtx.loopCharacterAnimation();
  }
});

This method requires the id from the hanzi-writer-view component in wxml, and the current page.

By default, character data is loaded from the hanzi-writer CDN, so you'll need to add https://cdn.jsdelivr.net to your list of approved domain names. Otherwise, you can provide your own charDataLoader function and load character data however you like. You can read more about loading character data here.

You can also pass any other normal Hanzi Writer options to createHanziWriterContext, except for width and height which are set in the hanzi-writer-view component. You can see a full list of options here.
