TextMetrics Properties Do Not Get Set about canvas HOT 4 CLOSED

Hello @schwarmau, thanks for the report.

I'll investigate the issue as soon as I get home.

Perhaps this is related to the reason Width will not work as well.

Idk which width are you referring to but, if that is the width of the component, you need to specify it as there is no default.

Will get back to you asap.

I think I worded my sentence poorly. I meant to say: Perhaps the lack of support for other properties of TextMetrics (such as actualBoundingBoxLeft, see: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/TextMetrics) might be affecting the supported property of TextMetrics (width). I haven't done much testing of this, though, so I'm not sure.

Hello @schwarmau

Yes, some properties are not being set and that affect the precision of TextMetrics.

I'll mark this issue as a bug and will make sure it goes in on the next release.

If you want it faster, please feel free to submit a PR and I'll review/merge it right away.

Thanks!

I looked into this. TextMetrics.width is not an enumerable property (in the current spec, it has no enumerable properties at all; don't ask me why). As a result, it is always serialized to JSON as an empty object ("{}").

I'll look into writing up a PR that converts the native TextMetrics object to a DTO with a standard, enumerable width property that can be properly serialized.
