createElement - Supernote

Some fields in Element can be very large (e.g. stroke sample points, pressure points, angle points, contour points). To avoid RN-side memory issues caused by loading large datasets at once, the SDK uses an accessor design. Therefore you should create elements via createElement. For details, see Element. The created Element is cached on the native side — remember to release it with recycleElement or element.recycle() once you’re done; see Element Caching and Release for the full workflow.

static createElement(
 type: number
): Promise<APIResponse<Element>>;

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
`type`	`number`	Element type. See `ElementType`.

Returns

APIResponse<Element>: See APIResponse and Element
On success, result is an Element with accessor fields filled (e.g. angles, contoursSrc, and stroke.* accessors for stroke elements).

Example

import { PluginCommAPI } from 'sn-plugin-lib';

/**
 * Create one Element example.
 */
export async function exampleCreateElement() {

 const res = await PluginCommAPI.createElement(0);
 if (!res.success) {
 throw new Error(res.error?.message ?? 'createElement call failed');
 }
 return res.result;
}
