HTML5 canvas TextPath Tutorial

To create text that follows a path with Konva, we can instantiate a Konva.TextPath() object.

For full list of properties and methods, see the TextPath API Reference.

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 textPath = new Konva.TextPath({
  x: 0,
  y: 50,
  fill: '#333',
  fontSize: 16,
  fontFamily: 'Arial',
  text: 'All the world\'s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.',
  data: 'M10,10 C0,0 10,150 100,100 S300,150 400,50',
});

layer.add(textPath);
