Add Fade In and Fade Out Animation to a Polygon Object Using Fabric.js
We can create a Polygon object by creating an instance of fabric.Polygon. A polygon object can be characterized by any closed shape consisting of a set of connected straight line segments.
Since it is one of the basic elements of FabricJS, we can also easily customize it by applying properties like angle, opacity etc. In order to add fade-in and fade-out animation, we can use the opacity property in conjunction with animate method.
Syntax
animate(property: String | Object, value: Number | Object): fabric.Object | fabric.AnimationContext | Array.<fabric.AnimationContext>
Parameters
property ? This property accepts a String or Object value which determines which properties we want to animate.
value ? This property accepts a Number or Object value which determines the values to animate properties.
Options Keys
opacity ? This property accepts a Number that allows us to control the opacity of an object. Default value of opacity property is 1.
Example 1: Adding fade-in animation to a polygon
Let's see a code example to see how we can add fade-in animation by using the animate method along with opacity property. In order to create a fade-in effect, we need to set opacity from 0(transparent) to 1(opaque). We have also added the easing option and passed it the value of easeInCubic which makes the animation start slowly but end quickly.

// Initiate a canvas instance

canvas.setHeight(250);

scaleY: 0.5,
opacity: 0,
}

// Adding it to the canvas
canvas.add(polygon);
// Using the animate method
polygon.animate("opacity", "1", {
onChange: canvas.renderAll.bind(canvas),
easing: fabric.util.ease.easeInCubic,
duration: 5000,
});
</script>

Example 2: Adding fade-out animation to a polygon
In this example, we will see how we can create the fade-out animation by using the animate method along with opacity property. In order to create the fade-out effect, we need to set opacity from 1 (opaque) to 0 (transparent).
Since we have passed the duration property a value of 5000, this animation will last for 5 seconds. We have also added the easing option and passed it the value of easeOutCubic which makes the animation start quickly but end slowly.
