How To Upload A Screenshot Using Html2canvas?

Using html2canvas how can I save a screen shot to an object? I've been exploring the demos, and see that the function to generate the screenshot is generated as follows: $(window).

Solution 1:

I have modified and annotated the method from this answer. It sends only one file, with a given name, composed from a <canvas> element.

if (!('sendAsBinary' in XMLHttpRequest.prototype)) {
  XMLHttpRequest.prototype.sendAsBinary = function(string) {
    var bytes = Array.prototype.map.call(string, function(c) {
      return c.charCodeAt(0) & 0xff;
    });
    this.send(new Uint8Array(bytes).buffer);
  };
}

/*
 * @description        Uploads a file via multipart/form-data, via a Canvas elt
 * @param url  String: Url to post the data
 * @param name String: name of form element
 * @param fn   String: Name of file
 * @param canvas HTMLCanvasElement: The canvas element.
 * @param type String: Content-Type, eg image/png
 ***/
function postCanvasToURL(url, name, fn, canvas, type) {
  var data = canvas.toDataURL(type);
  data = data.replace('data:' + type + ';base64,', '');

  var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
  xhr.open('POST', url, true);
  var boundary = 'ohaiimaboundary';
  xhr.setRequestHeader(
    'Content-Type', 'multipart/form-data; boundary=' + boundary);
  xhr.sendAsBinary([
    '--' + boundary,
    'Content-Disposition: form-data; name="' + name + '"; filename="' + fn + '"',
    'Content-Type: ' + type,
    '',
    atob(data),
    '--' + boundary + '--'
  ].join('\r\n'));
}

Solution 2:

This code works for me. It will generate screenshot by html2canvas, upload the screenshot to imgur api, and return the imgur url.

<button class="upload" >Upload to Imgur</button> 
<script>
$(".upload").on("click", function(event) {
    html2canvas($('body'), {
  onrendered: function(canvas) {
  document.body.appendChild(canvas);
      try {
      var img = canvas.toDataURL('image/jpeg', 0.9).split(',')[1];
  } catch(e) {
      var img = canvas.toDataURL().split(',')[1];
  }
  // open the popup in the click handler so it will not be blocked
  var w = window.open();
  w.document.write('Uploading...');
  // upload to imgur using jquery/CORS
  // https://developer.mozilla.org/En/HTTP_access_control
  $.ajax({
      url: 'http://api.imgur.com/2/upload.json',
      type: 'POST',
      data: {
          type: 'base64',
          // get your key here, quick and fast http://imgur.com/register/api_anon
          key: 'your api key',
          name: 'neon.jpg',
          title: 'test title',
          caption: 'test caption',
          image: img
      },
      dataType: 'json'
  }).success(function(data) {
      w.location.href = data['upload']['links']['imgur_page'];
  }).error(function() {
      alert('Could not reach api.imgur.com. Sorry :(');
      w.close();
  });
  },
  });
  });
</script>
