Fabric: extend Image class

Recently I came up with the need to extend Image class of Fabric js lib. I had to keep synchronized two different Fabric Canvases, with different scale.

In the code snippet below, fabric.TavImage extends fabric.Image. AddToCanvases function adds an instance of TavImage to one canvas, then clones the object and adds it, scaled, to another canvas.

// 
//  TavImage
//
fabric.TavImage = fabric.util.createClass(fabric.Image, {

    type: 'tavImage',

    initialize: function (element, options) {
        options || (options = {});

        this.callSuper('initialize', element, options);
        this.set('scaleFrontCanvas', options.scaleFrontCanvas || '');
        this.set('scaleHiddenCanvas', options.scaleHiddenCanvas || '');
        this.set('id', options.id || '');
        this.set('objFrontCloned', options.objFrontCloned || '');
        this.set('trasfParams', options.trasfParams || '');
        this.set('isBaseImage', options.isBaseImage || false);
        this.set('scaleFactor', options.scaleFactor || '');
    },

    toObject: function () {
        return fabric.util.object.extend(this.callSuper('toObject'), {
            scaleFrontCanvas: this.get('scaleFrontCanvas'),
            scaleHiddenCanvas: this.get('scaleHiddenCanvas'),
            id: this.get('id'),
            objFrontCloned: this.get('objFrontCloned'),
            trasfParams: this.get('trasfParams'),
            isBaseImage: this.get('isBaseImage'),
            scaleFactor: this.get('scaleFactor')
        });
    },

    _render: function (ctx) {
        this.callSuper('_render', ctx);
    },

   
    addToCanvases: function (hiddenCanvas, frontCanvas) {

        hiddenCanvas.hiddenObjectsCount += 1;

        // check if it is not already in canvs
        var objects = hiddenCanvas.getObjects();
        for (var i in objects) {
            if (objects[i].get('id') == this.id)
                return;
        }


        // add to frontCanvas
        this.addToFrontCanvas(frontCanvas);
        
        // add to hidden Canvas
        this.addToHiddenCanvas(hiddenCanvas);
        
    },

    addToFrontCanvas: function (frontCanvas) {

        // clone object
        this.objFrontCloned = fabric.util.object.clone(this);
        this.objFrontCloned.scaleX = this.scaleFrontCanvas || this.scaleX;
        this.objFrontCloned.scaleY = this.scaleFrontCanvas || this.scaleY;

        frontCanvas.add(this.objFrontCloned);

        // center base image layer
        if (this.isBaseImage == true) {
            this.objFrontCloned.center();
        }

        this.objFrontCloned.setCoords();
    },

    addToHiddenCanvas: function (hiddenCanvas) {
        // scale to hiddenCanvas
        this.scaleX = this.scaleHiddenCanvas || this.scaleX;
        this.scaleY = this.scaleHiddenCanvas || this.scaleY;

        hiddenCanvas.add(this);


        // center base image layer
        if (this.isBaseImage == true) {
            //this.objFrontCloned.center();
            //this.objFrontCloned.setCoords();
        }
        else {
            this.updateCoordsForHiddenCanvas();
            //this.updateScaleForHiddenCanvas();
        }

    },

    updateCoordsForHiddenCanvas: function () {

        this.left = Math.round(this.trasfParams.s + 1/this.scaleFrontCanvas * (this.objFrontCloned.left - this.trasfParams.s1));
        this.top = Math.round(this.trasfParams.t + 1/this.scaleFrontCanvas * (this.objFrontCloned.top - this.trasfParams.t1));

        this.setCoords();
    },

    updateScaleForHiddenCanvas: function () {
        if(this.scaleFactor == '')
            this.scaleFactor = this.objFrontCloned.scaleX;
        this.scaleX = this.objFrontCloned.scaleX / this.scaleFactor;
        this.scaleY = this.objFrontCloned.scaleY / this.scaleFactor;
        
        this.setCoords();
    }
   
});
