How to resize an object non-uniformly via corner points using FabricJS?
In this article, we are going to learn how to resize an object non-uniformly via corner points using FabricJS. In FabricJS, an object gets transformed proportionally when dragged from the corners. However, we can control this behavior by pressing the uniScaleKey.
Syntax
new fabric.Canvas(element: HTMLElement|String, { uniScaleKey: String }: Object)Parameters
element − This parameter is the <canvas> element itself which can be derived using Document.getElementById() or the id of the <canvas> element itself. The FabricJS canvas will be initialized on this element.
options (optional) − This parameter is an Object which provides additional customizations to our canvas. Using this parameter, properties such as color, cursor, border width, and a lot of other properties can be changed related to the canvas, of which uniScaleKey is a property. It accepts a String value which indicates which key switches uniform scaling. It's default value is shiftKey. The possible key values are: altKey, shiftKey and ctrlKey.
Example 1
Pressing the shiftKey to disable uniform scaling
When an object gets transformed by dragging the edges while maintaining the aspect ratio, we say that the object is uniformly scaled. The uniScaleKey allows us to control that behavior on the spot. By default, the objects in FabricJS are scaled proportionally. Let's see a code example of how an object gets scaled non-uniformly when shiftKey is pressed.

<p>Hold the <b>shift</b> key and drag the object from its corners. The object will resize non-uniformly. </p>
<canvas id="canvas"></canvas>
<script>
// Initiate a canvas instance
var canvas = new fabric.Canvas("canvas");
// Creating an instance of the fabric.Rect class
var circle = new fabric.Circle({
left: 70,
top: 90,
radius: 40,
fill: "#006400",
});
// Adding it to the canvas
canvas.add(circle);
canvas.setWidth(document.body.scrollWidth);
canvas.setHeight(250);
</script>
</body>

Changing the value of the uniScaleKey to ctrlKey
Although its default value is shiftKey, we can also use the values: 'ctrlKey' and 'altKey' instead. If NULL or any other key is specified, then the feature will be disabled.
