Fabric.js ActiveSelection destroy() Method

In this article, we are going to see how to use the destroy() Method in the canvas ActiveSelection using FabricJS, it used to fill an object. The canvas ActiveSelection means the ActiveSelection is movable and can be stretched according to requirements. Further, the ActiveSelection can be customized when it comes to initial stroke color, height, width, fill color, or stroke width.

The destroy() method is used to destroy a group of an object.

Approach: First import the fabric.js library. After importing the library, create a canvas block in the body tag which will contain the ActiveSelection. After this, initialize an instance of Canvas and ActiveSelection class provided by Fabric.JS and use the destroy() method.

Syntax:

ActiveSelection.destroy()

Parameters: This function does not take any parameter.

Return Value: This method returns the object value.

Example: This example uses FabricJS to set the destroy() method of the canvas ActiveSelection as shown in the below example.
