Adding grid over Fabric.js canvas
I hope this will help you----
function draw_grid(grid_size) {
grid_size || (grid_size = 25);
currentCanvasWidth = canvas.getWidth();
currentcanvasHeight = canvas.getHeight();
// Drawing vertical lines
var x;
for (x = 0; x <= currentCanvasWidth; x += grid_size) {
this.grid_context.moveTo(x + 0.5, 0);
this.grid_context.lineTo(x + 0.5, currentCanvasHeight);
}
// Drawing horizontal lines
var y;
for (y = 0; y <= currentCanvasHeight; y += grid_size) {
this.grid_context.moveTo(0, y + 0.5);
this.grid_context.lineTo(currentCanvasWidth, y + 0.5);
}
grid_size = grid_size;
this.grid_context.strokeStyle = "black";
this.grid_context.stroke();
}
This two lines of code will work:
var gridsize = 5;
for(var x=1;x<(canvas.width/gridsize);x++)
{
canvas.add(new fabric.Line([100*x, 0, 100*x, 600],{ stroke: "#000000", strokeWidth: 1, selectable:false, strokeDashArray: [5, 5]}));
canvas.add(new fabric.Line([0, 100*x, 600, 100*x],{ stroke: "#000000", strokeWidth: 1, selectable:false, strokeDashArray: [5, 5]}));
}
A shorter version and more generic for copy/paste :
var oCanvas; // must be your canvas object
var gridWidth; // <= you must define this with final grid width
var gridHeight; // <= you must define this with final grid height
// to manipulate grid after creation
var oGridGroup = new fabric.Group([], {left: 0, top: 0});
var gridSize = 20; // define grid size
// define presentation option of grid
var lineOption = {stroke: 'rgba(0,0,0,.4)', strokeWidth: 1, selectable:false, strokeDashArray: [3, 3]};
// do in two steps to limit the calculations
// first loop for vertical line
for(var i = Math.ceil(gridWidth/gridSize); i--;){
oGridGroup.add( new fabric.Line([gridSize*i, 0, gridSize*i, gridHeight], lineOption) );
}
// second loop for horizontal line
for(var i = Math.ceil(gridHeight/gridSize); i--;){
oGridGroup.add( new fabric.Line([0, gridSize*i, gridWidth, gridSize*i], lineOption) );
}
// Group add to canvas
oCanvas.add(oGridGroup);
