I'm working on a project where I've been asked to support animated GIF on a fabric.js canvas.
As per https://github.com/kangax/fabric.js/issues/560, I've followed the advice to render on regular intervals, using fabric.util.requestAnimFrame. Video renders just fine with this method, but GIFs don't seem to update.
var canvas = new fabric.StaticCanvas(document.getElementById('stage'));
fabric.util.requestAnimFrame(function render() {
canvas.renderAll();
fabric.util.requestAnimFrame(render);
});
var myGif = document.createElement('img');
myGif.src = 'http://i.stack.imgur.com/e8nZC.gif';
if(myGif.height > 0){
addImgToCanvas(myGif);
} else {
myGif.onload = function(){
addImgToCanvas(myGif);
}
}
function addImgToCanvas(imgToAdd){
var obj = new fabric.Image(imgToAdd, {
left: 105,
top: 30,
crossOrigin: 'anonymous',
height: 100,
width:100
});
canvas.add(obj);
}

Any advice will be greatly appreciated! I've been searching everywhere, but haven't found a working solution.
