How to make a star with Polyline class using FabricJS?
We can create a Polyline object by creating an instance of fabric.Polyline. A polyline object can be characterised by a set of connected straight-line segments. Since it is one of the basic elements of FabricJS, we can also easily customize it by applying properties like angle, opacity, etc. A star or pentagram consists of 10 isosceles triangles.
Syntax
new fabric.Polyline(points: Array, options: Object)
Parameters
points − This parameter accepts an Array which denotes the array of points that make up the polyline object.
options (optional) − This parameter is an Object which provides additional customizations to our object. Using this parameter origin, stroke width and a lot of other properties can be changed related to the Polyline object.
Example 1: Creating an Instance of fabric.Polyline() and Adding it to our Canvas
Before creating a start, let’s see a code example of how we can add a polyline object to our canvas. The only required parameter is the points Array whereas the second argument is the optional options object.

<h2> Creating an instance of fabric.Polyline() and adding it to our canvas </h2>
<p>You can see that the polyline object has been added</p>
<canvas id="canvas"></canvas>
<script>
// Initiate a canvas instance
var canvas = new fabric.Canvas("canvas");
canvas.setWidth(document.body.scrollWidth);
canvas.setHeight(250);
// Initiating a points array
var points = [
{ x: 30, y: 50 },
{ x: 0, y: 0 },
{ x: 60, y: 0 },
];
// Initiating a polyline object
var polyline = new fabric.Polyline(points, {
left: 100,
top: 40,
fill: "white",
strokeWidth: 4,
stroke: "green",
});
// Adding it to the canvas
canvas.add(polyline);
</script>
</body>

Example 2: Creating a star with Polyline
In this example, we will create a star using the Polyline instance. We can select the coordinates in such a way that the shape forms a star as given below.

// Initiating a polyline object
var polyline = new fabric.Polyline(points);
// Set the properties
polyline.set("stroke", "blue");
polyline.set("strokeWidth", 5);
polyline.set("fill", "white");
polyline.set("top", 50);
polyline.set("left", 100);
polyline.set("scaleX", 0.75);
polyline.set("scaleY", 0.75);

canvas.add(polyline);
