Download plot using jqui_resizable in R shiny

Question

Sorry for my poor English, I am not a native speaker.

I want to make download button that can download plot resized by jqui_resizable package.

I read these URLs for make this. download a plot without replotting in R shiny Shiny.setInputValue only works on the 2nd try

But I have a problem. Like the second URL above, Shiny.setinputvalue only updates the value on the second run.

This is minimum sample code. Can someone please modify this code so that the image can be downloaded on the first click? Or could you please share some information that could help us solve this problem? Thank you in advance.

library(shiny)
library(shinyjqui)
library(magick)
library(xfun)

js <- 'function get_img_src(){
    var src = document.getElementById("myPlot").childNodes[0].src;
    Shiny.setInputValue("img_src", src);
    }'

ui <- fluidPage(
  downloadButton("save_myPlot",onclick="get_img_src();"),
  # plot
  jqui_resizable(plotOutput("myPlot")),
  tags$script(HTML(js))
)

server <- function(input, output, session) {
  
  # downaload handler - save the image
  output$save_myPlot <- downloadHandler(
    filename = function() { 
      paste0("plot_", Sys.Date(), ".png") },
    content = function(file) {
      # get image code from URI
      img_src <- gsub("data:.+base64,", "", input$img_src)
      # decode the image code into the image
      img_src <- image_read(base64_decode(img_src))
      # save the image
      image_write(img_src, file)
    })
  
  # plot
  output$myPlot <- renderPlot(
    plot(rnorm(5), rnorm(5))
  )
}

shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)
