Delete multiple Objects at once on a fabric.js canvas in html5

Due to @Kangax comment which solved most of the problem, I found the following solution to delete the currently selected objects from the canvas.

var deleteSelectedObject = document.getElementById('delete-item');
deleteSelectedObject.onclick = function()
{
if(canvas.getActiveGroup()){
      canvas.getActiveGroup().forEachObject(function(o){ canvas.remove(o) });
      canvas.discardActiveGroup().renderAll();
    } else {
      canvas.remove(canvas.getActiveObject());
    }
};

The function checks whether a group is selected. If a group is selected every object of the group gets removed. If no group is selected the function tries to remove a selected object. If nothing is selected, the canvas is not changed.

Your code seems like it is selecting and then de-selecting the objects.

This may work better:

var deleteSelectedObject = document.getElementById('delete-item');
deleteSelectedObject.onclick = function()
{
    var curSelectedObjects = canvas.getObjects(canvas.getActiveGroup);

    canvas.discardActiveGroup();
    for (var i = 0; i < curSelectedObjects.length; i++)
    {
        canvas.remove(curSelectedObjects[i]);
    }
};

You can check any object property and can remove

var objects = canvas.getObjects();

for (var i = 0; i < objects.length; ) {
  if (objects[i].name == 'cropArea' || objects[i].name == 'bleedLine') {
    canvas.remove(objects[i]);
    i = 0;
  } else {
    i++;
  }
}
