[EDIT] I should have been more specific (thanks for the response Below the Radar!). I'd like the trigger to console.log to capture the returned URI when the object calls toDataURL
. In the linked jsfiddle, the object calling toDataURL
is canvas
. This may be a sticking point, because I may need to capture the calling object as well? I could accomplish what I want by simply encapsulating canvas.toDataURL()
in a console.log statement, but I'd like this to be more dynamic than that---which led me to think of adding a hook on toDataURL
jsFiddle, update: https://jsfiddle.net/spe4q1d8/170/
I'm trying to create a hook that I could place at the top or bottom of a JavaScript file which would trigger console.log
every time a specific function is called. The particular function I want to hook is toDataURL()
HTMLCanvasElement.toDataURL().
I've been able to set up a hook on something like alert
or console.log
itself, but can't figure out how to hook toDataURL
.
jsFiddle, hook on alert
and hook on document.createElement()

you can extend the prototyped function for instance:
var toDataURL = HTMLCanvasElement.prototype.toDataURL;
HTMLCanvasElement.prototype.toDataURL = function(type, encoderOptions) {
var uri = toDataURL.call(this, type, encoderOptions);
console.log(uri);
return uri;
}
var canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
canvas.toDataURL()
