FabricJS Add Event

Hi everyone,

I would like to show the name of an object in a field, when the user selects it in the canvas. How could this be done? I can't get it to work...

Thanks very much!
Joerg

@joerg I have noticed there is a bug in one of the plugin's functions.
I will release an updated plugin version later today within this thread.
Thanks for your patience.

Thanks very much Luis for your quick reply and the demo project! That's what I did too, but as you said, seems like events probably aren't handled correctly.

The FabricJS plugin is wonderful :-)

Kind regards,
Joerg

Update: The new version now works perfectly :-)

...one more question: That means that I will have to create an "fabAddEvent" entry for each object on the canvas, correct? I also noticed, that putting these entries into the page-enter script, has no effect. Inside a button (like you did in the project above) it works fine.
