In this tutorial, we will learn how to move a Line object one step up the draw object stack using FabricJS. Line element is one of the basic elements provided in FabricJS. It is used to create straight lines. Since line elements are geometrically one-dimensional and contain no interiors, they are never filled. We can create a line object by creating an instance of fabric.Line, specifying the x and y coordinates of the line and adding it to the canvas. To move the Line object one step up the draw object stack, we use the bringForward method.
bringForward(intersecting: Boolean): fabric.Object
Intersecting - This parameter accepts a Boolean value that, when assigned a "true" value, sends the object to the next upper section in front Intersect objects. If the value is "false", it will normally send the object up to the next object on the stack. This parameter is optional.
Let's look at a code example to see the output when using the bringForward method. bringForward method moves the object one step up the draw object stack. In this example, line1 is sent on top of line2 using the bringForward method.

In this example, we use three line objects, namely line1, line2 and line3. Although they have been added to the canvas in numerical order, line1 is clearly above line3. This is because we are using the bringForward method with intersection keys enabled, which sends line1 on top of its next upper intersecting object (i.e. line3).
