[html] How can I convert an HTML element to a canvas element?

the next code can be used in 2 modes, mode 1 save the html code to a image, mode 2 save the html code to a canvas.

this code work with the library: https://github.com/tsayen/dom-to-image

*the "id_div" is the id of the element html that you want to transform.

**the "canvas_out" is the id of the div that will contain the canvas so try this code. :

   function Guardardiv(id_div){

      var mode = 2 // default 1 (save to image), mode 2 = save to canvas
      console.log("Process start");
      var node = document.getElementById(id_div);
      // get the div that will contain the canvas
      var canvas_out = document.getElementById('canvas_out');
      var canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
      canvas.width = node.scrollWidth;
      canvas.height = node.scrollHeight;

      domtoimage.toPng(node).then(function (pngDataUrl) {
          var img = new Image();
          img.onload = function () {
          var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
          context.drawImage(img, 0, 0);
        };

        if (mode == 1){ // save to image
             downloadURI(pngDataUrl, "salida.png");
        }else if (mode == 2){ // save to canvas
          img.src = pngDataUrl;
          canvas_out.appendChild(img);

        }
      console.log("Process finish");
    });

    }

so, if you want to save to image just add this function:

    function downloadURI(uri, name) {
        var link = document.createElement("a");

        link.download = name;
        link.href = uri;
        document.body.appendChild(link);
        link.click();   
    }

Example of use:

 <html>
 <head>
 </script src="/dom-to-image.js"></script>
 </head> 
 <body>
 <div id="container">
   All content that want to transform
  </div>
  <button onclick="Guardardiv('container');">Convert<button> 

 <!-- if use mode 2 -->
 <div id="canvas_out"></div>
 </html>

Comment if that work. Comenten si les sirvio :)
