Textbox of Fabric.js does not wrap a long word
Yes there is a solution that you may like or not to implement word breaking:
override the fabric default function for line breaking:
fabric.Textbox.prototype._wrapLine = function(ctx, text, lineIndex) {
var lineWidth = 0,
lines = [],
line = '',
words = text.split(' '),
word = '',
letter = '',
offset = 0,
infix = ' ',
wordWidth = 0,
infixWidth = 0,
letterWidth = 0,
largestWordWidth = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < words.length; i++) {
word = words[i];
wordWidth = this._measureText(ctx, word, lineIndex, offset);
lineWidth += infixWidth;
// Break Words if wordWidth is greater than textbox width
if (this.breakWords && wordWidth > this.width) {
line += infix;
var wordLetters = word.split('');
while (wordLetters.length) {
letterWidth = this._getWidthOfChar(ctx, wordLetters[0], lineIndex, offset);
if (lineWidth + letterWidth > this.width) {
lines.push(line);
line = '';
lineWidth = 0;
}
line += wordLetters.shift();
offset++;
lineWidth += letterWidth;
}
word = '';
} else {
lineWidth += wordWidth;
}
if (lineWidth >= this.width && line !== '') {
lines.push(line);
line = '';
lineWidth = wordWidth;
}
if (line !== '' || i === 1) {
line += infix;
}
line += word;
offset += word.length;
infixWidth = this._measureText(ctx, infix, lineIndex, offset);
offset++;
// keep track of largest word
if (wordWidth > largestWordWidth && !this.breakWords) {
largestWordWidth = wordWidth;
}
}
i && lines.push(line);
if (largestWordWidth > this.dynamicMinWidth) {
this.dynamicMinWidth = largestWordWidth;
}
return lines;
};
Usage:
var breakingTextbox = new fabric.Textbox(longText, {
width: 200,
breakWords: true
});
For Fabric.js 3.0.0+ you can use the splitByGrapheme property.
On a Textbox, set it to true:
const letterBreakingTextBox = new fabric.Textbox(yourLongText, {
width: 200,
textAlign: 'left', // you can use specify the text align
splitByGrapheme: true
});
