How to Build an e-Signature Platform with Strapi 5 and React
Blog post from Strapi
The tutorial provides a comprehensive guide to building an electronic signature platform using a Strapi 5 backend and a React 19 frontend. It explains the legal context of electronic signatures according to the U.S. ESIGN Act and details the technical steps to set up a Strapi backend with a custom Content-Type for tracking document signings, alongside creating custom routes, controllers, and services. The React frontend, scaffolded with Vite, enables users to draw signatures on a canvas and submit them. Signature images are stored in the Strapi Media Library and linked to document entries using the REST API, while the Document Service API serves as the primary interface for content management. The guide also covers the implementation of a custom `/sign` endpoint, user interface components for signature capture, and document listing, ensuring that the entire stack runs locally with SQLite. It concludes with suggestions for deploying to production, adding filtering and search capabilities, implementing user authentication, and ensuring data integrity and audit trails to align with regulatory standards.
