Create Canvas with Background Color using Fabric.js
In this article, we are going to create a canvas with a given background color using FabricJS. The default background color provided by the FabricJS API is white and it can be customized using the second argument.
Syntax
new fabric.Canvas(element: HTMLElement|String, { backgroundColor: String }: Object)
Parameters
element − This parameter is the <canvas> element itself which can be derived using document.getElementById() or the id of the <canvas> element itself. The FabricJS canvas will be initialized on this element.
Options − This parameter is an Object which provides additional customizability to our canvas and backgroundColor is one of them which will help us customize the background color
Example 1
Let's see how to create a Canvas with a background color using FabricJS. Since FabricJS works on top of Canvas API, we will create an HTML element using the <canvas> tag and give it an id.
Further, we will pass that id to the FabricJS API so that it can initialize the FabricJS Canvas instance on the <canvas> tag. In the second argument, we will pass an object with a key backgroundColor and the value as the color we want it to be.

<p>Here we have used 'cyan' as the background color.</p>
<canvas id="canvas"> </canvas>
<script>
// Initiate a Canvas instance and add backgroundColor
var canvas = new fabric.Canvas('canvas', {
backgroundColor: 'cyan'
});
canvas.setWidth(document.body.scrollWidth);
canvas.setHeight(250);
</script>
</body>

Example 2
Let's take another example. Here we will create a Canvas with a background color and a Circle object on the canvas.

var circle = new fabric.Circle({
radius: 50,
fill: "red",
hoverCursor: 'not-allowed',
});
// Render the circle in canvas
canvas.add(circle);
canvas.setWidth(document.body.scrollWidth);
canvas.setHeight(250);
