How to save and load canvas with Vue and Konva?

How to serialize and deserialize Konva stage with Vue?

Pure Konva has a special mechanism to save/load the full canvas stage with node.toJSON() and Node.create(json) functions. See demo.

However, with vue-konva, we recommend defining your app's state in your Vue components. The state maps into nodes through templates. To save/load the full stage, you just need to save/load the state of your app. You don't need to save Konva internals and nodes.

Instructions: Click on the canvas to create circles. Reload the page - the circles should persist.

<template>
  <div>
    Click on canvas to create a circle.
    <a href=".">Reload the page</a>. Circles should stay here.
    <v-stage
      ref="stage"
      :config="stageSize"
      @click="handleClick"
    >
      <v-layer ref="layer">
        <v-circle
          v-for="item in list"
          :key="item.id"
          :config="item"
        />
      </v-layer>
    </v-stage>
  </div>
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref, onMounted } from 'vue';

const stageSize = {
  width: window.innerWidth,
  height: window.innerHeight
};

const list = ref([{ x: 100, y: 100, radius: 50, fill: 'blue' }]);

const handleClick = (evt) => {
  const stage = evt.target.getStage();
  const pos = stage.getPointerPosition();
  list.value.push({
    radius: 50,
    fill: 'red',
    ...pos
  });

  save();
};

const load = () => {
  const data = localStorage.getItem('storage');
  if (data) list.value = JSON.parse(data);
};

const save = () => {
  localStorage.setItem('storage', JSON.stringify(list.value));
};

onMounted(() => {
  load();
});
</script>
