Writing custom text to an image canvas using tags. Js and HTML5

Question

I use HTML5 and fabric.jsto upload multiple images. I want to add custom text in this image. Right now I am uploading several images to the canvas one by one. After uploading the images, I want to add custom text to the canvas.

var canvas = new fabric.Canvas('canvas');
document.getElementById('file').addEventListener("change",function (e) {
  var file = e.target.files[0];
  var reader = new FileReader();
  console.log("reader   " + reader);
  reader.onload = function (f) {
    var data = f.target.result;
    fabric.Image.fromURL(data, function (img) {
      var oImg = img.set({left: 70, top: 100, width: 250, height: 200, angle: 0}).scale(0.9);
      canvas.add(oImg).renderAll();
      var a = canvas.setActiveObject(oImg);
      var dataURL = canvas.toDataURL({format: 'png', quality: 0.8});
    });
  };
  reader.readAsDataURL(file);
});
document.querySelector('#txt').onclick = function (e) {
  e.preventDefault();
  canvas.deactivateAll().renderAll();
  document.querySelector('#preview').src = canvas.toDataURL();
};

canvas{
  border: 1px solid black;
}

<script src="https://rawgit.com/kangax/fabric.js/master/dist/fabric.min.js"></script>
<input type="file" id="file">
<canvas id="canvas" width="750" height="550"></canvas>
<a href='' id='txt' target="_blank">Click Me!!</a><br />
<img id="preview" />

I saw several links:

Update

I need the user to be able to select the text colorand font-family.

After clicking the button Click Me!!, custom textand the image should come together in one image.

IText :

canvas.add(new fabric.IText('Tap and Type', { 
                         fontFamily: 'arial black',
                         left: 100, 
                         top: 100 ,
                      }));

:

var canvas = new fabric.Canvas('canvas');

document.getElementById('file').addEventListener("change", function (e) {
  var file = e.target.files[0];
  var reader = new FileReader();
  console.log("reader   " + reader);
  reader.onload = function (f) {
    var data = f.target.result;
    fabric.Image.fromURL(data, function (img) {
      var oImg = img.set({left: 70, top: 100, width: 250, height: 200, angle: 0}).scale(0.9);
      canvas.add(oImg).renderAll();
      canvas.setActiveObject(oImg);  
    });
  };
  reader.readAsDataURL(file);
});

$('#fill').change(function(){
  var obj = canvas.getActiveObject();
  if(obj){
    obj.setFill($(this).val());
  }
  canvas.renderAll();
});

$('#font').change(function(){
  var obj = canvas.getActiveObject();
  if(obj){
    obj.setFontFamily($(this).val());
  }
  canvas.renderAll();
});

function addText() {
  var oText = new fabric.IText('Tap and Type', { 
    left: 100, 
    top: 100 ,
  });

  canvas.add(oText);
  canvas.setActiveObject(oText);
  $('#fill, #font').trigger('change');
  oText.bringToFront();
}

document.querySelector('#txt').onclick = function (e) {
  e.preventDefault();
  canvas.deactivateAll().renderAll();
  document.querySelector('#preview').src = canvas.toDataURL();
};

canvas{
  border: 1px solid black;
}
