CanvasRenderingContext2D.drawFocusIfNeeded()
method of the Canvas 2D API draws a focus ring around the current or given path, if the
specified element is focused.

None ({{jsxref("undefined")}}).
This example draws two buttons on a canvas. The drawFocusIfNeeded() method
is used to draw a focus ring when appropriate.

<button id="button1">Continue</button>

// Define clickable area
ctx.beginPath();

// Draw focus ring, if appropriate
ctx.drawFocusIfNeeded(el);
