Help! I am working on an application which downloads a report from an API which gives me HTML as part of the JSON return. Because it returns JSON I cannot simply open this in a new window.
In this script I am injecting this code:
let tmp = result.data;
let spot = tmp.indexOf('</body>');
let insert = `<div style="position:fixed; top:200px;left:20px; width:200px;font-size:15pt">
<div class="camera">
<video id="video" style='display:hidden'>Video stream not available.</video>
<button onClick='takepicture()'>Take photo</button>
</div>
<canvas id="canvas" style='display:none;'></canvas>
<!--<button onClick='genPDF()'>PDF</button>-->
Press CTRL+S to save page as HTML
<img id="testDownloadImage" src='' width=600 height=400 />
</div>
<script type='text/javascript'>
alert(document.body.innerHtml)
// function clearphoto() {
// var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
// context.fillStyle = "#AAA";
// context.fillRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
// var data = canvas.toDataURL('image/png');
// // photo.setAttribute('src', data);
// }
// Capture a photo by fetching the current contents of the video
// and drawing it into a canvas, then converting that to a PNG
// format data URL. By drawing it on an offscreen canvas and then
// drawing that to the screen, we can change its size and/or apply
// other changes before drawing it.
async function takepicture() {
let video = document.getElementById('video');
let canvas = document.getElementById('canvas');
let displayMediaOptions={video: true,displaySurface:'browser', logicalSurface:true, cursor:'never', audio: false};
try{
video.srcObject = await navigator.mediaDevices.getDisplayMedia(displayMediaOptions);
// video.play();
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
width=window.innerWidth;
height=window.scrollHeight;
if (width && height) {
canvas.width = width;
canvas.height = height;
context.drawImage(video, 0, 0, width, height);
var data = canvas.toDataURL('image/jpg'); //.replace(/^data:image\/(png|jpg);base64,/, "");
// photo.setAttribute('src', data);
document.getElementById('testDownloadImage').src=data;
// location.href=data;
} else {
// clearphoto();
}
}
catch(err) {
console.log("An error occurred: " + err);
}
finally{
let tracks = video.srcObject.getTracks();
tracks.forEach(track => track.stop());
video.srcObject = null;
}
}
</script>
`
let newStr = [tmp.slice(0, spot), insert, tmp.slice(spot)].join('');
document.write(newStr);
to allow me to add a print screen option so that the report can be imaged. I have tried other utilities to save the HTML as a PDF or even saving the page but because the report uses a lot of XSLT and scripting to display the results these methods fail, leaving me with the print screen as the only option.
WebRTC handles this aptly, with one minor difficult: Because I am using document.write I am unable to find the document.body even though the code I am passed is a properly formed page ( etc).
How can I use the inserted script to display the page and capture it as an image?
Thanks
This is not a genuine answer sadly but I resolved the problem by moving the entire write to an iFrame with the script on the outside. I then got the scrollHeight of the iFrame document and resized the frame to match that, effectively making it appear as if the document occupied the entire page. This way I can place my script outside the iFrame and still use it to capture the entire page, which is what I was shooting for.
Thank you for any comments. As of now this is no longer needed.
