How can i make a transparent rectangle selectable only when i click on the stroke? I tried two different approach as you can see from the snippet below, the object on the left is a rectangle with a transparent background, the object on the right is a group object with multiple lines. I want to know how to be able to select the element only when i click on the stroke, with both objects if you click on the inner transparent area the object becomes selected.
var canvas = new fabric.Canvas('a');
canvas.add(new fabric.Rect({
left: 10,
top: 20,
height: 160,
width: 80,
fill: 'transparent',
stroke: 'red'
}));
var rectLine1 = new fabric.Line([0, 0, 80, 0], {
stroke: 'red',
left: 100,
top: 20
});
var rectLine2 = new fabric.Line([0, 160, 0, 0], {
stroke: 'red',
left: 100,
top: 20
});
var rectLine3 = new fabric.Line([0, 160, 0, 0], {
stroke: 'red',
left: 180,
top: 20
});
let rectLine4 = new fabric.Line([0, 0, 80, 0], {
stroke: 'red',
left: 100,
top: 180
});
var group = new fabric.Group([rectLine1, rectLine2, rectLine3, rectLine4], {
left: 110,
top: 20
})
canvas.add(group)
canvas.renderAll();
.c {
border: 2px solid black;
}

I found that setting perPixelTargetFind: true
solves the problem, you can also set a tolerance on the canvas targetFindTolerance: 10
to be able to select objects with thin strokes. I'll paste the working code below in case anyone needs it.
var canvas = new fabric.Canvas('a', {
targetFindTolerance: 10
});
canvas.add(new fabric.Rect({
left: 10,
top: 20,
height: 160,
width: 80,
fill: 'transparent',
stroke: 'red',
perPixelTargetFind: true,
}));
canvas.renderAll();
.c {
border: 2px solid black;
}
