HTML5 Canvas Special Stage Events Konva

All events are started from Shapes. So if you click on an empty space within a canvas, a click event will not trigger on Layer but it will trigger on the Stage object instead.

Instructions: Click on empty space and on shapes to see different event behaviors.

Vanilla

import Konva from 'konva';

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

const layer = new Konva.Layer();
stage.add(layer);

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

const circle = new Konva.Circle({
  x: stage.width() / 2,
  y: stage.height() / 2,
  radius: 70,
  fill: 'red',
  stroke: 'black',
  strokeWidth: 4,
});

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

// handle stage click
stage.on('click', function (e) {
  if (e.target === stage) {
    writeMessage('clicked on stage');
    return;
  }
  writeMessage('clicked on ' + e.target.name());
});

// add shape
circle.name('circle');
layer.add(circle);
