How to flip a Rectangle horizontally using FabricJS?
In this tutorial, we are going to learn how we can flip a Rectangle object horizontally using FabricJS. Rectangle is one of the various shapes provided by FabricJS. In order to create a rectangle, we will have to create an instance of fabric.Rect class and add it to the canvas. We can flip a rectangle object horizontally using the flipX property.
Syntax
new fabric.Rect({ flipX: Boolean }: Object)
Parameters
Options (optional) This parameter is an Object which provides additional customizations to our rectangle. Using this parameter, properties such as colour, cursor, stroke width and a lot of other properties can be changed related to the object of which flipX is a property.
Options Keys
flipX This property accepts a Boolean value which allows us to flip an object horizontally.
Example 1
Passing flipX as key with a ‘false’ value
Let’s see a code example that shows us the default orientation of a rectangle object in FabricJS. Since we are passing the flipX property a False value, the rectangle object will not be flipped horizontally.

<h2>Passing flipX as key with a False value</h2>
<p>You can see that the object is not flipped horizontally</p>
<canvas id="canvas"></canvas>
<script>
// Initiate a canvas instance
var canvas = new fabric.Canvas("canvas");
canvas.setWidth(document.body.scrollWidth);
canvas.setHeight(250);
// Initiate a rectangle object
var rect = new fabric.Rect({
left: 125,
top: 90,
width: 170,
height: 70,
borderColor: "purple",
borderScaleFactor: 3,
flipX: false,
});
// Create gradient fill
rect.set(
"fill",
new fabric.Gradient({
type: "linear",
coords: { x1: 0, y1: 0, x2: 50, y2: 0 },
colorStops: [
{ offset: 0, color: "pink" },
{ offset: 1, color: "blue" },
],
})
);
// Add it to the canvas
canvas.add(rect);
</script>
</body>
</html>
Example 2
Passing the flipX property as key with a ‘true’ value
In this example, we have a rectangle object of width 170 and height 70 with a horizontal linear gradient fill. As we apply the flipX property to the rectangle object, it flips horizontally and thus we see that the gradient has flipped as well.

"fill",
new fabric.Gradient({

colorStops: [
{ offset: 0, color: "pink" },
{ offset: 1, color: "blue" },
],
})
);
// Add it to the canvas
canvas.add(rect);
