#### `width`

This props defines the `width` of the Excalidraw component. Defaults to `window.innerWidth` if not passed.

#### `height`

This props defines the `height` of the Excalidraw component. Defaults to `window.innerHeight` if not passed.

#### `offsetLeft`

This prop defines `left` position relative to which Excalidraw should be rendered. Defaults to `0` if not passed.

#### `offsetTop`

This prop defines `top` position relative to which Excalidraw should be rendered. Defaults to `0` if not passed.

#### `onChange`

Every time component updates, this callback if passed will get triggered and has the below signature.

```js
(excalidrawElements, appState) => void;
```

1.`excalidrawElements`: Array of [excalidrawElements](https://github.com/excalidraw/excalidraw/blob/4c90ea5667d29effe8ec4a115e49efc7c340cdb3/src/element/types.ts#L59) in the scene.

2.`appState`: [AppState](https://github.com/excalidraw/excalidraw/blob/4c90ea5667d29effe8ec4a115e49efc7c340cdb3/src/types.ts#L33) of the scene

Here you can try saving the data to your backend or local storage for example.

#### `initialData`

This helps to load Excalidraw with `initialData`.
It must be an object or a [promise](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise/Promise) which resolves to an object containing the below optional fields.

You might want to use this when you want to load excalidraw with some initial elements and app state.

#### `user`

This is the user name which shows during collaboration. Defaults to `{name: ''}`.

#### `excalidrawRef`

You can pass a `ref` when you want to access some excalidraw APIs.
We expose the below APIs:

#### `onCollabButtonClick`

This callback is triggered when clicked on the collab button in excalidraw. If not supplied, the collab dialog button is not rendered.

#### `isCollaborating`

This prop indicates if the app is in collaboration mode.

#### `onPointerUpdate`

This callback is triggered when mouse pointer is updated.

```js
({ x, y }, button, pointersMap}) => void;
```

1.`{x, y}`: Pointer coordinates

2.`button`: The position of the button. This will be one of `["down", "up"]`

3.`pointersMap`: [`pointers map`](https://github.com/excalidraw/excalidraw/blob/182a3e39e1362d73d2a565c870eb2fb72071fdcc/src/types.ts#L122) of the scene
