Konva VS react-canvas

Konva.js - High-performance 2D canvas library

Konva at esm format https://www.npmjs.com/package/konva-es

It's not a fork, just a different way to build the same project.

ES2015 module is more efficient than the other formats and can facilitate the creation of smaller bundle size through tree-shaking technique.

Based on this, I found that some of the libraries are dead and no longer have any support. Only two libraries are still alive and have significant amount of stars on GitHub and downloads on NPM. They are Fabric.js and Konva.js.

I have been assigned a task to create a sort of a canva clone which will have almost same features as canva with authentication, access control and rating system(not in this phase). I need help in finding libraries similar to https://konvajs.org/ which has updated docs and great support for Nextjs.

I'm currently using konva (& react-konva) package, to utilize it in Node.js enviroment I also need canvas package installed in. However, when running the code encountering this error:

used goJS in one project and konva in another

All the UI part would make sense to do in React. The actual drawing board you likely would need to implement in canvas or SVG. It still could be a React component, but for actual drawing, you'd probably use something like Konva (https://konvajs.org/).

Konvajs - is an HTML5 Canvas JavaScript framework that enables high performance animations, transitions, node nesting, layering, filtering, caching, event handling for desktop and mobile applications, and much more.

During the development of a complex interactive UI for the configuration of a digital laboratory ecosystem, we were utilizing the Konva.js library. Konva is a wrapper around the HTML canvas that simplifies working with shapes and interacting with the canvas a lot. Everybody dealing with the plain canvas API knows how much code certain tasks require, especially when user interaction with the drawn shapes is required. The most important features Konva offers to me are

React is the Simpsons of web tech.

There seems to be also a canvas library for React, called react-canvas, but it seems lacking a lot of features compared to Fabric.js.

I remember Flipboard using canvas to render their UI before using react, which has the same idea, you can look at the repo and their post about it:

React Canvas

You can also try using Canvas element in react https://github.com/Flipboard/react-canvas

I'm confused, there is react-canvas. Does it just not work very good?
