Let user delete a selected fabric js object

Question

I have a simple fabric js based application where I will let users add shapes connect them and animate them.

Following is my JS

var canvas; 
window.newAnimation = function(){
   canvas = new fabric.Canvas('canvas');
}

window.addRect = function(){
    var rect = new fabric.Rect({
  left: 100,
  top: 100,
  fill: 'red',
  width: 20,
  height: 20,
});
    canvas.add(rect);

}

window.addCircle = function(){
    var circle = new fabric.Circle({
  radius: 20, fill: 'green', left: 100, top: 100
});
    canvas.add(circle);
}

This is my Fiddle. You can click on new animation and then add objects as of now.

I want the user to select some object and then also be able to delete it I am not sure how. I found this Delete multiple Objects at once on a fabric.js canvas in html5 But i was not able to implement it successfully. I basically want users to be able to select an object and delete it.

Since new version of fabric.js was released - you should use:

canvas.remove(canvas.getActiveObject());
