What is it

Just a test task that allows creating, dragging & resizing of rectangles on an HTML5 Canvas

Live Demo

How does it work

Information about layers is stored in Pinia Store, including selected status.

There are two canvases: one for selected layers (canvasOverlay) and the other for all the others(canvas).

When the “New Layer” button is clicked

• A layer with the type rectangle is added to the store layers with random width & height on a random position within a visible area of the canvas
• Canvases are redrawn

When a layer is selected:

• Its state selected is changed to true;
• Canvases are redrawn
• coordinates of the first selected layer are saved to the store selectedLayer

When a layer is dragged:

• The canvasOverlay is moved with CSS transform.
• The store selectedLayer is updated by delta movement.

When a layer is dropped:

• The coordinates for all selected layers are changed in the store by the difference in mouse positions between the drag start and drag end.
• Canvases are redrawn

This approach gives the best performance possible without significantly decreasing speed, even if there are thousands of layers.
