Fabric js: Increase font size instead of just scaling when resize with mouse
The idea is using the canvas.on("object:modified") event to reset the scaling to 1 and increase fontSize to fit the new size.
fabric.Object.lockUniScaling is a suggested addition.
var canvas = new fabric.Canvas('canvas');
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#text-font-size').keyup(function() {
var val = $(this).val();
if (isNaN(val)) {
alert('please enter number');
$(this).val('');
}
var activeObject = canvas.getActiveObject();
activeObject.fontSize = val;
canvas.renderAll();
});
$('#add-text-btn').click(function() {
if ($('#text-font-size').val()) {
var txtfontsize = $('#text-font-size').val();
} else {
var txtfontsize = 40;
}
var message = $('#add-text-value').val();
//var txtfontfamily = $('#font-family').val();
var new_text = new fabric.IText(message, {
left: 100,
top: 100,
fontSize: txtfontsize,
lockUniScaling: true,
//fontFamily: txtfontfamily,
fill: '#000'
});
canvas.add(new_text);
canvas.setActiveObject(new_text);
});
canvas.on('object:selected', function(options) {
if (options.target) {
$("textarea#add-text-value").val(options.target.text);
$("#text-font-size").val(options.target.fontSize);
}
});
canvas.on('object:scaling', function(event) {
if (event.target) {
$("textarea#add-text-value").val(event.target.text);
$("#text-font-size").val((event.target.fontSize * event.target.scaleX).toFixed(0));
}
});
canvas.on('object:modified', function(event) {
if (event.target) {
event.target.fontSize *= event.target.scaleX;
event.target.fontSize = event.target.fontSize.toFixed(0);
event.target.scaleX = 1;
event.target.scaleY = 1;
event.target._clearCache();
$("textarea#add-text-value").val(event.target.text);
$("#text-font-size").val(event.target.fontSize);
}
});
});
