How to disable selection freedrawing fabricjs

After you draw something with FreeDrawing in FabricJs, you are able to select what was drawn and move it. Is there a way to disable this selection?

The selectable corners / borders and/or controls can be disabled as well. Here is the full code:

var canvas = this.__canvas = new fabric.Canvas('c');    
fabric.Object.prototype.transparentCorners = false;
canvas.selection = false;
fabric.Image.fromURL(src, function (img) {

    const height = img.getBoundingRectHeight();
    const width = img.getBoundingRectWidth();
          
    const oImg = img.set({ 
        hasControls: false, 
        hasBorders: false, 
        selectable: false 
    }).scale(factor);

    canvas.add(oImg).renderAll();
    canvas.setActiveObject(oImg);
}, { 
    crossOrigin: 'anonymous' 
});

In case of needing interactivity in some objects but not in all of them, you can set: evented: false in the creation of non interactive objects.

In case you don't need any interactivity on your canvas, you can use StaticCanvas

var canvas = this.__canvas = new fabric.StaticCanvas('c');

Or, in case you want to disable selection only for specific objects, i.e. the last brush stroke, you can try calling the following code every time the stroke is created:

canvas.item(0).selectable = false;
canvas.renderAll();

If you need interactivity for other objects, you can also define this right after canvas initialization

fabric.Object.prototype.selectable = false;

all new objects will be non-selectable, unless you specify otherwise when you want to create a selectable object

var text = new fabric.Text('Honey,\nI\'m subtle', {
    fontSize: 250,
    left: 50,
    top: 0,
    selectable: true // make this object selectable
});
canvas.add(text);
