How to disable selection freedrawing fabricjs

Question

After you draw something with FreeDrawing in FabricJs, you are able to select what was drawn and move it. Is there a way to disable this selection?

Answer 1

In case you don't need any interactivity on your canvas, you can use StaticCanvas

var canvas = this.__canvas = new fabric.StaticCanvas('c');

Or, in case you want to disable selection only for specific objects, i.e. the last brush stroke, you can try calling the following code every time the stroke is created:

canvas.item(0).selectable = false;
canvas.renderAll();

If you need interactivity for other objects, you can also define this right after canvas initialization

fabric.Object.prototype.selectable = false;

all new objects will be non-selectable, unless you specify otherwise when you want to create a selectable object

var text = new fabric.Text('Honey,\nI\'m subtle', {
    fontSize: 250,
    left: 50,
    top: 0,
    selectable: true // make this object selectable
});
canvas.add(text);
