# image_anotation 2 — Add image annotation to your web apps

image_anotation 2 is a JavaScript browser library to enable image annotation in your web applications. Add marker.js 2 to your web app and instantly enable users to annotate and mark up images. You can save, share or otherwise process the results.

## Installation

```
npm install image_anotation
```

or 

```
yarn add image_anotation
```

## Usage

To add image annotation to your web application follow these 3 easy steps:

1. Create an instance of `image_anotation.MarkerArea` by passing a target image reference to the constructor.
2. Set an event handler for `render` event.
3. Call the `show()` method.

Here's a simple example:

```js
// skip this line if you are importing markerjs2 into the global space via the script tag
import * as markerjs2 from 'image_anotation';

// create an instance of MarkerArea and pass the target image reference as a parameter
let markerArea = new markerjs2.MarkerArea(document.getElementById('myimg'));

// register an event listener for when user clicks OK/save in the marker.js UI
markerArea.addEventListener('render', event => {
  // we are setting the markup result to replace our original image on the page
  // but you can set a different image or upload it to your server
  document.getElementById('myimg').src = event.dataUrl;
});

// finally, call the show() method and marker.js UI opens
markerArea.show();
```
