Unfortunately one issue with < canvas > tag is the lack of text-metrics support which ends to not supporting line breaking!
To simulate word-wrapping you need to loop through the singular words in your text (text.split(“ “)), and measuring each word individually until the edge of the bounding-box is hit, at which point a break is inserted, and the process continues.
For more detail information and also implementation guide, please take a look at this article:
I hope this helps :-)
