Add connected shape

Show plus buttons around a selected shape that create a new connected shape, like in Figma.

Official example

The preview embeds the official tldraw examples site. tldraw hosts it and updates it from its main branch; JGuang does not copy the example source or the SDK.

• Open on the examples site: https://examples.tldraw.com/add-connected-shape/full
• Example source (GitHub): https://github.com/tldraw/tldraw/tree/main/apps/examples/src/examples/ui/add-connected-shape
• Category: UI & theming

Use it in a project

npm install tldraw@5.5.2

The examples site runs main-branch code, so some APIs may be newer than the stable npm release. Check APIs against your installed version before adapting an example. Import tldraw/tldraw.css and give the editor container an explicit size.

License

The tldraw SDK uses the tldraw license: development use is free, and production deployments need a valid license key (trial, commercial or hobby).
