Cloning selection of custom objects

I am using subclassing to add custom properties to standard fabric objects like so: 

var IdRect: any = fabric.util.createClass(fabric.Rect, {
type: 'idRect',

initialize: function(id, dbType, options) {
    this.callSuper('initialize', options);
    this.id = id;
    this.dbType = dbType;
},

toObject: function () {
    return fabric.util.object.extend(this.callSuper('toObject'), {

    });
},

_render: function (ctx) {
    this.callSuper('_render', ctx);
}
});
IdRect.fromObject = function(options, callback) {
    var idRect =  new IdRect(null, null, options);
    callback && callback(idRect);
    return idRect;
}

One problem that I run into when trying to clone a selection of those custom objects is that fabric.util.getKlass returns null (Cannot read property 'fromObject' of undefined). Cloning them individually works fine.

Turns out you need to assign the property to the fabric library like so 

 fabric.IdRect = fabric.util.createClass(...)

or for typescript first assign fabric to a variable of type any to bypass the type system:

 var Fabric: any = fabric; 
 Fabric.IdRect = fabric.util.createClass(...)
