How to take screenshot of a div with JavaScript?

Viewed 361270

I am building something called the "HTML Quiz". It's completely ran on JavaScript and it's pretty cool.

At the end, a results box pops up that says "Your Results:" and it shows how much time they took, what percentage they got, and how many questions they got right out of 10. I would like to have a button that says "Capture results" and have it somehow take a screenshot or something of the div, and then just show the image captured on the page where they can right click and "Save image as."

I really would love to do this so they can share their results with others. I don't want them to "copy" the results because they can easily change that. If they change what it says in the image, oh well.

Does anyone know a way to do this or something similar?

Add this Script in your index.html

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/html2canvas/0.4.1/html2canvas.min.js"></script>

Use this function to get screenshot of div tag

  getScreenShot(){
    let c = this.elem.nativeElement.querySelector('.chartContainer'); // or document.getElementById('canvas');
    html2canvas(c).then((canvas:any)=>{
      var t = canvas.toDataURL().replace("data:image/png;base64,", "");
      this.downloadBase64File('image/png',t,'image');
    })
  }

downloadBase64File(contentType:any, base64Data:any, fileName:any) {
  const linkSource = `data:${contentType};base64,${base64Data}`;
  const downloadLink = document.createElement("a");
  downloadLink.href = linkSource;
  downloadLink.download = fileName;
  downloadLink.click();
}

It's to simple you can use this code for capture the screenshot of particular area you have to define the div id in html2canvas. I'm using here 2 div-:

div id="car"
div id ="chartContainer"
if you want to capture only cars then use car i'm capture here car only you can change chartContainer for capture the graph html2canvas($('#car') copy and paste this code
