I have fabric js multiple canvases and I would like to add Text on the selected canvas, instead of the last item of the array.
If a user creates multiple canvases then I need an option to add the text on the selected canvas.
Please run the code snippet or see the codepen demo of the current approach...
Thank you!
//================== Create Canvas start =================
var createCanvas = document.getElementById("createCanvas");
var canvasInstances = [];
createCanvas.addEventListener('click',function(){
var canvasContainer = document.getElementById("canvasContainer");
var newcanvas = document.createElement("canvas");
//newcanvas.classList.add("active");
canvasContainer.append(newcanvas);
var fabricCanvasObj = new fabric.Canvas(newcanvas, {
height: 400,
width: 400,
backgroundColor: '#ffffff',
});
canvasInstances.push(fabricCanvasObj);
console.log(canvasInstances);
})
//================== Create Canvas End =================
//================== Add Text ================
var addText = document.getElementById("addText");
addText.addEventListener('click',function(){
canvasInstances.forEach(function(current,id,array){
if(id === array.length - 1){
const converText = new fabric.IText(`Type Text`,{
type: 'text',
width: 200,
fontSize: 20,
left: 20,
top: 20,
fill: '#444'
});
current.add(converText);
current.renderAll();
return false;
}
})
})
//================== Add End =================*{

Declare canvasobject globally, you can try below code
<script type="text/javascript">
var canvasobject;
window.onload = function () {
canvasobject = new fabric.Canvas('myCanvas');
canvasobject.backgroundColor = '#0056d6';
canvasobject.renderAll();
//
function addtext() {
var textvalue = "Type here";
var fontcolor = "#333";
var fontFamily = "Baloo 2";
var myfont = new FontFaceObserver(fontFamily);
myfont.load()
.then(function () {
// when font is loaded, use it.
var text = new fabric.Text(textvalue, {
left: 100,
top: 100,
fontFamily: fontFamily,
fill: fontcolor,
});
canvasobject.add(text);
canvasobject.renderAll();
}).catch(function (e) {
//console.log(e);
console.log('font loading failed ' + fontFamily);
});
}
}
