Fabric React Renderer

[Not Production Ready]

A React renderer for Fabric.js that allows you to render Fabric.js components as React components.

Installation

You can install the package via npm:

pnpm install fabric-react-renderer

Usage

import { fab, FabricCanvas } from 'fabric-react-renderer';

import './styles.css';

export default function App() {
  return (
    <div className="App">
      <h1>Hello Fabric React Renderer</h1>
      <FabricCanvas width={500} height={500}>
        <fab.rect left={50} top={50} width={200} height={100} fill="blue" />
      </FabricCanvas>
    </div>
  );
}

fabric-react-renderer is a React renderer for fabricjs.

Build your scene declaratively with re-usable, self-contained components that react to state, are readily interactive and can participate in React's ecosystem.

Does it have limitations?

None. Everything that works in fabricjs will work here without exception.

Is it slower than plain fabricjs?

No. There is no overhead. Components render outside of React. It outperforms fabricjs in scale due to React's scheduling abilities.

Can it keep up with frequent feature updates to fabricjs?

Yes. It merely expresses fabricjs in JSX, <fab.rect /> dynamically turns into new fabric.Rect(). If a new fabricjs version adds, removes or changes features, it will be available to you instantly without depending on updates to this library.
