How to create a Circle with a background colour using FabricJS?
In this tutorial, we are going to create a Circle with background colour using FabricJs. Circle is one of the various shapes provided by FabricJS. In order to create a circle, we have to create an instance of fabric.Circle class and add it to the canvas. The backgroundColor property allows us to assign a colour to our object's background. It is the colour of the container (where the circle lives) which is square in shape.
Syntax
new fabric.Circle({ backgroundColor: String }: Object)
Parameters
options (optional) − This parameter is an Object which provides additional customizations to our object. Using this parameter, properties such as colour, cursor, stroke width and a lot of other properties can be changed related to the Circle of which backgroundColor is a property.
Options Keys
backgroundColor − This property accepts a String which determines the colour of our object's background. The value can be a hexadecimal value, an rgba value or simply the name of the colour which we want our background colour to be.
Example 1
Passing backgroundColor property as key with a hexadecimal value
Let's see an example to assign a background colour to our circle object using hexadecimal value of colour. In this example, we have used the Hex colour code #d0db61 which is a dark-khaki colour.

It appears as we have applied the <b>backgroundColor</b> property and assigned it a Hex color code. </p> <canvas id="canvas"></canvas> <script> // Initiate a canvas instance var canvas = new fabric.Canvas("canvas"); var cir = new fabric.Circle({ left: 215, top: 100, radius: 50, fill: "#74c365", stroke: "#00b7eb", strokeWidth: 2, backgroundColor: "#d0db61", }); // Adding it to the canvas canvas.add(cir); canvas.setWidth(document.body.scrollWidth); canvas.setHeight(250); </script> </body> </html>
Example 2
Passing backgroundColor property as key with a rgba value
We can use an RGBA (red, blue, green, and alpha) value instead of a hexadecimal colour code. The alpha parameter specifies the opacity of a colour. In this example, we have used the rgba value (255,0,0,0.7) which is the colour red with 0.7 opacity.
