fabric-pure-browser

Fabric.js package with no node-specific dependencies (node-canvas, jsdom). The project is published once a day (in case if a new version appears) from 'master' branch of https://github.com/fabricjs/fabric.js repository. You can keep original imports in your code if you add an alias to your webpack file: resolve: { alias: { fabric: 'fabric-pure-browser' } }

Fabric.js

Fabric.js is a framework that makes it easy to work with HTML5 canvas element. It is an interactive object model on top of canvas element. It is also an SVG-to-canvas parser.

Using Fabric.js, you can create and populate objects on canvas; objects like simple geometrical shapes — rectangles, circles, ellipses, polygons, or more complex shapes consisting of hundreds or thousands of simple paths. You can then scale, move, and rotate these objects with the mouse; modify their properties — color, transparency, z-index, etc. You can also manipulate these objects altogether — grouping them with a simple mouse selection.

Non-Technical Introduction to Fabric

Fabric.js allows you to easily create simple shapes like rectangles, circles, triangles and other polygons or more complex shapes made up of many paths, onto the HTML <canvas> element on a webpage using JavaScript. Fabric.js will then allow you to manipulate the size, position and rotation of these objects with a mouse. It’s also possible to change some of the attributes of these objects such as their color, transparency, depth position on the webpage or selecting groups of these objects using the Fabric.js library. Fabric.js will also allow you to convert an SVG image into JavaScript data that can be used for putting it onto the <canvas> element.

Contributions are very much welcome!

Goals

Supported browsers

Firefox 4+
Safari 5+
Opera 9.64+
Chrome (all versions)
Edge (chromium based, all versions)
IE11 and Edge legacy, not supported. Fabric up to 5.0 is written with ES5 in mind, but no specific tests are run for those browsers.

You can run automated unit tests right in the browser.

History

Fabric.js started as a foundation for design editor on printio.ru — interactive online store with ability to create your own designs. The idea was to create Javascript-based editor, which would make it easy to manipulate vector shapes and images on T-Shirts. Since performance was one of the most critical requirements, we chose canvas over SVG. While SVG is excellent with static shapes, it's not as performant as canvas when it comes to dynamic manipulation of objects (movement, scaling, rotation, etc.). Fabric.js was heavily inspired by Ernest Delgado's canvas experiment. In fact, code from Ernest's experiment was the foundation of an entire framework. Later, Fabric.js grew into a collection of distinct object types and got an SVG-to-canvas parser.

Installation Instructions

Install with bower

$ bower install fabric

Install with npm

Note: If you are using Fabric.js in a Node.js script, you will depend from node-canvas.node-canvas is an html canvas replacement that works on top of native libraries. Please follow the instructions located here in order to get it up and running.

$ npm install fabric --save

After this, you can import fabric like so:

const fabric = require("fabric").fabric;

Or you can use this instead if your build pipeline supports ES6 imports:

import { fabric } from "fabric";

NOTE: es6 imports won't work in browser or with bundlers which expect es6 module like vite. Use commonjs syntax instead.

See the example section for usage examples.

Building

Install Node.js
Build distribution file [~77K minified, ~20K gzipped]
```
 $ node build.js
```
2.1 Or build a custom distribution file, by passing (comma separated) module names to be included.
```
   $ node build.js modules=text,serialization,parser
   // or
   $ node build.js modules=text
   // or
   $ node build.js modules=parser,text
   // etc.
```
By default (when none of the modules are specified) only basic functionality is included. See the list of modules below for more information on each one of them. Note that default distribution has support for static canvases only.

To get minimal distribution with interactivity, make sure to include corresponding module:
```
   $ node build.js modules=interaction
```
2.2 You can also include all modules like so:
```
   $ node build.js modules=ALL
```
2.3 You can exclude a few modules like so:
```
   $ node build.js modules=ALL exclude=gestures,image_filters
```

Create a minified distribution file

 # Using YUICompressor (default option)
 $ node build.js modules=... minifier=yui

 # or Google Closure Compiler
 $ node build.js modules=... minifier=closure

Enable AMD support via require.js (requires uglify)
```
 $ node build.js requirejs modules=...
```
Create source map file for better productive debugging (requires uglify or google closure compiler).
More information about source maps.
```
 $ node build.js sourcemap modules=...
```
If you use google closure compiler you have to add sourceMappingURL manually at the end of the minified file all.min.js (see issue https://code.google.com/p/closure-compiler/issues/detail?id=941).
```
 //# sourceMappingURL=fabric.min.js.map
```
Ensure code guidelines are met (prerequisite: npm -g install eslint)
```
 $ npm run lint &amp;&amp; npm run lint_tests
```

Testing

Make sure testem is installed

    $ npm install -g testem

Run tests Chrome and Node (by default):

    $ testem

See testem docs for more info: https://github.com/testem/testem

Documentation

Documentation is always available at https://fabricjs.com/docs/.

Also see official 4-part intro series, presentation from BK.js and presentation from Falsy Values for an overview of fabric.js, how it works, and its features.

Optional modules

These are the optional modules that could be specified for inclusion, when building custom version of fabric:

Additional flags for build script are:

requirejs — Makes fabric requirejs AMD-compatible in dist/fabric.js. Note: an unminified, requirejs-compatible version is always created in dist/fabric.require.js
no-strict — Strips "use strict" directives from source
no-svg-export — Removes svg exporting functionality
sourcemap - Generates a sourceMap file and adds the sourceMappingURL (only if uglifyjs is used) to dist/fabric.min.js

For example:

node build.js modules=ALL exclude=json no-strict no-svg-export

Examples of use

Adding red rectangle to canvas






    <canvas height="300" width="300" id="canvas"></canvas>
