How to select Fabric.js object programmatically

Question

I want to programmatically select Fabrics.js object. What do I have to do? For example, I am adding two objects like this:

var canvas = new fabric.Canvas(\'c         


        

Answer 1

To find the fabric object number (item number) of the selected object use:

canvas.on({
    'object:selected': selectedObject
});

function selectedObject(e) {
    var id = canvas.getObjects().indexOf(e.target);
}

var id is the same number if you programmatically set the object as in Dan Brown's reply:

canvas.setActiveObject(canvas.item(id)); //id = 0, 1, 2 etc.
