HTML5 Canvas Shape Events

To detect shape events with Konva, we can use the on() method to bind event handlers to a node.

The on() method requires an event type and a function to be executed when the event occurs.

Mouse events: mouseover, mouseout, mouseenter, mouseleave, mousemove, mousedown, mouseup, wheel, click, dblclick.

Touch events: touchstart, touchmove, touchend, tap, dbltap.

Pointer events: pointerdown, pointermove, pointereup, pointercancel, pointerover, pointerenter, pointerout,pointerleave, pointerclick, pointerdblclick.

Drag events: dragstart, dragmove, and dragend.

Transform events: transformstart, transform, transformend.

Instructions: Mouseover and mouseout of the triangle, and mouseover, mouseout, mousedown, and mouseup over the circle.

import Konva from 'konva';
const stage = new Konva.Stage({
  container: 'container',
  width: window.innerWidth,
  height: window.innerHeight,
});

const layer = new Konva.Layer();

const text = new Konva.Text({
x: 10,
y: 10,
fontFamily: 'Calibri',
fontSize: 24,
text: '',
fill: 'black',
});

const triangle = new Konva.RegularPolygon({
x: 80,
y: 120,
sides: 3,
radius: 80,
fill: '#00D2FF',
stroke: 'black',
strokeWidth: 4,
});

const circle = new Konva.Circle({
x: 230,
y: 100,
radius: 60,
fill: 'red',
stroke: 'black',
strokeWidth: 4,
});

function writeMessage(message) {
text.text(message);
}

triangle.on('mouseout', () => {
writeMessage('Mouseout triangle');
});

triangle.on('mousemove', () => {
const mousePos = stage.getPointerPosition();
writeMessage('x: ' + mousePos.x + ', y: ' + mousePos.y);
});

circle.on('mouseover', () => {
writeMessage('Mouseover circle');
});
circle.on('mouseout', () => {
writeMessage('Mouseout circle');
});
circle.on('mousedown', () => {
writeMessage('Mousedown circle');
});
circle.on('mouseup', () => {
writeMessage('Mouseup circle');
});

layer.add(triangle);
layer.add(circle);
layer.add(text);
stage.add(layer);
