I am using HTML5 and fabric.js for uploading multiple images. I want to add custom text on this image canvas. Right now I am uploading multiple images into canvas one by one. After uploading images I want to add custom text on canvas.

var canvas = new fabric.Canvas('canvas');
document.getElementById('file').addEventListener("change",function (e) {
  var file = e.target.files[0];
  var reader = new FileReader();
  console.log("reader   " + reader);
  reader.onload = function (f) {
    var data = f.target.result;
    fabric.Image.fromURL(data, function (img) {
      var oImg = img.set({left: 70, top: 100, width: 250, height: 200, angle: 0}).scale(0.9);
      canvas.add(oImg).renderAll();
      var a = canvas.setActiveObject(oImg);
      var dataURL = canvas.toDataURL({format: 'png', quality: 0.8});
    });
  };
  reader.readAsDataURL(file);
});
document.querySelector('#txt').onclick = function (e) {
  e.preventDefault();
  canvas.deactivateAll().renderAll();
  document.querySelector('#preview').src = canvas.toDataURL();
};

canvas{
  border: 1px solid black;
}

<script src=".js/master/dist/fabric.min.js"></script>
<input type="file" id="file">
<canvas id="canvas" width="750" height="550"></canvas>
<a href='' id='txt' target="_blank">Click Me!!</a><br />
<img id="preview" />

I have seen some links:

Update

I need that the user can choose the text's color and the font-family.

After clicking on Click Me!! button, the custom text and image should e together in one image.

• css
• html
• canvas
• fabricjs

You can use IText like this:

canvas.add(new fabric.IText('Tap and Type', {
  fontFamily: 'arial black',
  left: 100,
  top: 100,
}));

And the full code:

var canvas = new fabric.Canvas('canvas');

document.getElementById('file').addEventListener("change", function (e) {
  var file = e.target.files[0];
  var reader = new FileReader();
  console.log("reader   " + reader);
  reader.onload = function (f) {
    var data = f.target.result;
    fabric.Image.fromURL(data, function (img) {
      var oImg = img.set({left: 70, top: 100, width: 250, height: 200, angle: 0}).scale(0.9);
      canvas.add(oImg).renderAll();
      canvas.setActiveObject(oImg);  
    });
  };
  reader.readAsDataURL(file);
});

$('#fill').change(function(){
  var obj = canvas.getActiveObject();

  if(obj){
    // old api
    // obj.setFill($(this).val());
    obj.set("fill", this.value);
  }
  canvas.renderAll();
});

$('#font').change(function(){
  var obj = canvas.getActiveObject();
  
  if(obj){
    // old api
    // obj.setFontFamily($(this).val());
    obj.set("fontFamily", this.value);
  }
  
  canvas.renderAll();
});

function addText() {
  var oText = new fabric.IText('Tap and Type', { 
    left: 100, 
    top: 100 ,
  });

  canvas.add(oText);
  oText.bringToFront();
  canvas.setActiveObject(oText);
  $('#fill, #font').trigger('change');
}

document.querySelector('#txt').onclick = function (e) {
  e.preventDefault();
  canvas.deactivateAll().renderAll();
  document.querySelector('#preview').src = canvas.toDataURL();
};

canvas{
  border: 1px solid black;
}

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis./ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare./ajax/libs/fabric.js/2.3.6/fabric.min.js"></script>

<input type="file" id="file">
<input type="color" value="blue" id="fill" />
<select id="font">
  <option>arial</option>
  <option>tahoma</option>
  <option>times new roman</option>
</select>
<button onclick="addText()">Add Custom Text</button>
<br />
<canvas id="canvas" width="750" height="550"></canvas>
<a href='' id='txt' target="_blank">Click Me!!</a>
<br />
<img id="preview" />

Update: To keep the text always in the front you need to use .bringToFront() function.
