 $("#fontSize").on("change", () => {
      let fontsize = document.querySelector("#fontSize");
      sizeFromInput = fontsize.value;

        editable: true,
        fontFamily: "Delicious_500",
        left: 100,
        top: 100,
        fontSize: 18,
        fill: "#000",
      });
    
      canvas.add(textEditable);
    });

I think your code is working as expected. Maybe you could use the input event for an instant update as the change event fires in most browsers when content is changed and the element loses focus.

It will not fire for every single change as in the case input event.

 var canvas = new fabric.Canvas('c'); canvas.renderAll.bind(canvas); $("#fontSize").on("change", () => { let fontsize = document.querySelector("#fontSize"); sizeFromInput = fontsize.value; var activeObject = canvas.getActiveObject(); if (activeObject) { activeObject.set("fontSize", sizeFromInput); } canvas.renderAll(); }); $("#typeTool").click(() => { var textEditable = new fabric.Textbox("ASR Textbox", { width: 50, editable: true, left: 10, top: 10, fontSize: 18, fill: "#000", }); canvas.add(textEditable); canvas });
