How to set the width of a Triangle using FabricJS?


<p>In this tutorial, we are going to learn how to set the width of a Triangle using FabricJS. Triangle is one of the various shapes provided by FabricJS. In order to create a triangle, we will have to create an instance of <em>fabric.Triangle</em> class and add it to the canvas.</p><p>We can manipulate a triangle object by changing its position, opacity, stroke and also its dimension. FabricJS allows us to control an object's dimensions by using the <em>width</em> and <em>height properties</em>.</p><h2>Syntax</h2><pre class="just-code notranslate language-javascript" data-lang="javascript">new fabric.Triangle({ width: Number }: Object)</pre><h2>Parameters</h2><ul class="list"><li><p><strong>Options (optional)</strong> This parameter is an <em>Object</em> which provides additional customizations to our triangle. 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 <em>width</em> is a property.</p></li></ul><h2>Options Keys</h2><ul class="list"><li><p><strong>width</strong> − This property accepts a <strong>Number</strong> value which allows us to specify the object's width. Its default value is 100.</p></li></ul><h2>Example 1</h2><p><strong>Default behaviour of <strong>width</strong> property</strong></p><p>Let's see a code example to understand the default behaviour of the width property.</p><pre class="demo-code notranslate language-javascript" data-lang="javascript"><!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head>    <!-- Adding the Fabric JS Library-->    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/fabric.js/510/fabric.min.js"></script> </head> <body>    <h2>Default behaviour of width property</h2>    <p>You can see that the default value of triangle's width is 100</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 triangle object       var triangle = new fabric.Triangle({          left: 60,          top: 50,          fill: "#b0e0e6",          height: 90,       });       // Add it to the canvas       canvas.add(triangle);    </script> </body> </html></pre><h2>Example 2</h2><p><strong>Passing <em>width</em> property as key</strong></p><p>Now that we have assigned the <em>width</em> property a value of 180px, we can see the changes in its width.</p><pre class="demo-code notranslate language-javascript" data-lang="javascript"><!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head>    <!-- Adding the Fabric JS Library-->    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/fabric.js/510/fabric.min.js"></script> </head> <body>    <h2>Passing width property as key</h2>    <p>You can see that the triangle's width now has a fixed value of 180.</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 triangle object       var triangle = new fabric.Triangle({          left: 60,          top: 50,          fill: "#b0e0e6",          height: 90,          width: 180,       });    // Add it to the canvas    canvas.add(triangle);    </script> </body> </html></pre>
