outputting HTML5 canvas as an image, howto? - javascript

I have already looked into this tutorial on how to use canvas in HTML5 to create a clipping mask.
http://www.benbarnett.net/2011/06/02/using-html5-canvas-for-image-masks/
The question i have now is it possible to save the canvas as an image (including the mask effect) ?
thanks

Getting PNG output can be done with canvas.toDataURL().
It is also possible to get JPEG output on Chrome/Firefox. Below is a code to convert to JPEG data as HTML5 Blob.

function dataURItoBlob(dataURI, callback) {
// convert base64 to raw binary data held in a string
// doesn't handle URLEncoded DataURIs
var byteString;
if (dataURI.split(',')[0].indexOf('base64') >= 0) {
byteString = atob(dataURI.split(',')[1]);
} else {
byteString = unescape(dataURI.split(',')[1]);
}
// separate out the mime component
var mimeString = dataURI.split(',')[0].split(':')[1].split(';')[0];
// write the bytes of the string to an ArrayBuffer
var ab = new ArrayBuffer(byteString.length);
var ia = new Uint8Array(ab);
for (var i = 0; i < byteString.length; i++) {
ia[i] = byteString.charCodeAt(i);
}
// write the ArrayBuffer to a blob, and you're done
var BlobBuilder = window.WebKitBlobBuilder || window.MozBlobBuilder;
var bb = new BlobBuilder();
bb.append(ab);
return bb.getBlob(mimeString);
}
function getAsJPEGBlob(canvas) {
if(canvas.mozGetAsFile) {
return canvas.mozGetAsFile("foo.jpg", "image/jpeg");
} else {
var data = canvas.toDataURL('image/jpeg', 0.7);
var blob = dataURItoBlob(data);
return blob;
}
}

canvas.toDataURL();
is a function to get you a Data URL which you can put into an image tag. From there you can save it.
If you're looking to automatically save it to the harddrive, that isn't possible in standard JavaScript

How to convert base64 to normal image URL?

I'm trying to convert base64 to normal image URL using Angular 4. I found the solution:
dataURItoBlob(dataURI)
{
// convert base64/URLEncoded data component to raw binary data held in a string
let byteString;
if (dataURI.split(',')[0].indexOf('base64') >= 0)
byteString = atob(dataURI.split(',')[1]);
else
byteString = unescape(dataURI.split(',')[1]);
// separate out the mime component
const mimeString = dataURI.split(',')[0].split(':')[1].split(';')[0];
// write the bytes of the string to a typed array
const ia = new Uint8Array(byteString.length);
for (let i = 0; i < byteString.length; i++) {
ia[i] = byteString.charCodeAt(i);
}
return new Blob([ia], {type: mimeString});
}
But the problem is it changes the image URL format to:
".../public/uploads/offers/1531895217034CxqrY.blob"
So I want to change it to normal format PNG or JPG
Your function is correct, but after it you have to use URL.createObjectURL() like follows:
function dataURItoBlob(dataURI)
{
// convert base64/URLEncoded data component to raw binary data held in a string
var byteString;
if(dataURI.split(',')[0].indexOf('base64') >= 0)
byteString = atob(dataURI.split(',')[1]);
else
byteString = unescape(dataURI.split(',')[1]);
// separate out the mime component
var mimeString = dataURI.split(',')[0].split(':')[1].split(';')[0];
// write the bytes of the string to a typed array
var ia = new Uint8Array(byteString.length);
for(var i = 0; i < byteString.length; i++)
{
ia[i] = byteString.charCodeAt(i);
}
return new Blob([ia], {type: mimeString});
}

I want to convert base64 to blob in Objective-c

This is JavaScript code which convert base64 to blob.
but I want to make this kind of code in objective-c.
I can't search in stack overflow.
function base64_to_blob(base64String) {
var byteString = window.atob(base64String);
var array = new Uint8Array(byteString.length);
for (var i = 0; I < byteString.length; I++) {
array[i] = byteString.charCodeAt(i);
}
var blob = new Blob([array], {
type: ‘image / jpeg’,
name: “image.jpg”
});
return blob;
}
Please Help me.
Time use this code my be helpful for you if.
-(NSData *) base64_to_blob(base64String) {
NSData * blobData = [[NSData alloc] initWithBase64EncodedString: base64String options:1];

Converting base64 Image to file object in JavaScript

I am trying to create a file object from a base64 image which was cut from another image. I am able to do it but the resulting file size is almost thrice the actual size. Below is the function that I am using:
convertDataURItoFile(dataURI, fileName) {
// convert base64 to raw binary data held in a string
// doesn't handle URLEncoded DataURIs - see SO answer #6850276 for code that does this
var byteString = atob(dataURI.split(',')[1]);
// separate out the mime component
var mimeString = dataURI.split(',')[0].split(':')[1].split(';')[0]
// write the bytes of the string to an ArrayBuffer
var ab = new ArrayBuffer(byteString.length);
var ia = new Uint8Array(ab);
for (var i = 0; i < byteString.length; i++) {
ia[i] = byteString.charCodeAt(i);
}
// write the ArrayBuffer to a blob, and you're done
var blob: any = new Blob([ia], { type: mimeString });
//A Blob() is almost a File() - it's just missing the two properties below which we will add
blob.lastModifiedDate = new Date();
blob.name = fileName;
//Cast to a File() type
return <File>blob;
}
Any idea on why the file size increasing so drastically? How can I compress it? Thanks in advance.

Cannot reproduce resulting .size of Blob being thrice the size of the content of input data URI. Do you mean the data URI .length can be thrice the size of Blob .size?
function convertDataURItoFile(dataURI, fileName) {
// convert base64 to raw binary data held in a string
// doesn't handle URLEncoded DataURIs - see SO answer #6850276 for code that does this
var byteString = atob(dataURI.split(',')[1]);
// separate out the mime component
var mimeString = dataURI.split(',')[0].split(':')[1].split(';')[0]
// write the bytes of the string to an ArrayBuffer
var ab = new ArrayBuffer(byteString.length);
var ia = new Uint8Array(ab);
for (var i = 0; i < byteString.length; i++) {
ia[i] = byteString.charCodeAt(i);
}
// write the ArrayBuffer to a blob, and you're done
var blob = new Blob([ia], { type: mimeString });
//A Blob() is almost a File() - it's just missing the two properties below which we will add
blob.lastModifiedDate = new Date();
blob.name = fileName;
//Cast to a File() type
console.log(`input data size: ${datauriLength} Blob.size: ${blob.size}`);

If .name and .lastModifiedDate need to be added to Blob, you can substitute using File constructor for Blob, which expects file name parameter to be set at second parameter to File constructor, and optionally expected .lastModidied and or .lastModifiedDate parameters at third parameter to constructor.
function convertDataURItoFile(dataURI, fileName) {
// convert base64 to raw binary data held in a string
// doesn't handle URLEncoded DataURIs - see SO answer #6850276 for code that does this
var byteString = atob(dataURI.split(',')[1]);
// separate out the mime component
var mimeString = dataURI.split(',')[0].split(':')[1].split(';')[0]
// write the bytes of the string to an ArrayBuffer
var ab = new ArrayBuffer(byteString.length);
var ia = new Uint8Array(ab);
for (var i = 0; i < byteString.length; i++) {
ia[i] = byteString.charCodeAt(i);
}
// write the ArrayBuffer to a blob, and you're done
// use `File` constructor here
var blob = new File([ia], fileName, { type: mimeString, lastModifiedDate: new Date() });
//A Blob() is almost a File() - it's just missing the two properties below which we will add
// blob.lastModifiedDate = new Date();
// blob.name = fileName;
//Cast to a File() type
console.log(`input data size: ${datauriLength} Blob.size: ${blob.size}`);
return blob;

You can also utilize fetch() to create and get Blob representation of data URI, see Answer by #Endless at Creating a Blob from a base64 string in JavaScript

Passing file data from .Net backend to Javascript front-end

I have a .Net (VB/C#) backend on one server and a javascript/jquery front-end on another. I am attempting to pass file data from the backend to the front-end by reading the file in .Net as a byte array, converting it to a base64 string and passing that to the js front-end along with a variable indicating the file type.
Once the data is in the js front-end I attempt to convert the base64 string to a file blob in order to read it with readAsDataURL() so that it can be displayed in an iframe or downloaded by the client.
For testing I am using a pdf file. The process of passing the data works but the file data is not recognized by the pdf viewer. The iframe loads the viewer but I get a message about the file not being recognized as a pdf file.
I have done a tone of searching and have gotten a lot of questions answered by searching stackoverflow but this eludes me.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you.
Update:
Here is my VB.Net code:
Sub OnReadFileToViewer(ByVal filePath As String)
Dim okToView As Boolean = False
Dim fileBLOB As String = String.Empty
Dim fileEncoded As String = String.Empty
If (file.Exists(filePath)) Then
Try
Using fRead As FileStream = New FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)
Dim bytes() As Byte = New Byte((CType(fRead.Length, Integer)) - 1) {}
Dim numBytesToRead As Integer = CType(fRead.Length, Integer)
Dim numBytesRead As Integer = 0
While (numBytesToRead > 0)
' Read may return anything from 0 to numBytesToRead.
Dim n As Integer = fRead.Read(bytes, numBytesRead, _
numBytesToRead)
' Break when the end of the file is reached.
If (n = 0) Then
Exit While
End If
numBytesRead = (numBytesRead + n)
numBytesToRead = (numBytesToRead - n)
End While
numBytesToRead = bytes.Length
fileEncoded = System.Convert.ToBase64String(bytes)
End Using
okToView = True
Catch ex As Exception
'
End Try
End If
If (okToView) Then
' Code to send data to js fron-end
End If
End Sub
And my js front-end for converting the base64 string to BLOB and the iframe preview:
function PreviewFile(file) {
var fileBlob = b64toBlob(file,'application/pdf','');
var reader = new FileReader();
var fileType = e.target.getAttribute("type");
alert(fileType);
reader.onload = function (e) {
if (fileType)
$("#fileViewerDiv").append('<iframe id="fileVieweriFrame" class="fileViewer"></iframe>'); // + e.target.result + '">');
$("#fileVieweriFrame").attr('src', file); //e.target.result);
$("#fileVieweriFrame").dialog();
}
reader.readAsDataURL(fileBlob);
}
function b64toBlob(b64Data, contentType, sliceSize) {
contentType = contentType || '';
sliceSize = sliceSize || 512;
var byteCharacters = atob(b64Data);
var byteArrays = [];
for (var offset = 0; offset < byteCharacters.length; offset += sliceSize) {
var slice = byteCharacters.slice(offset, offset + sliceSize);
var byteNumbers = new Array(slice.length);
for (var i = 0; i < slice.length; i++) {
byteNumbers[i] = slice.charCodeAt(i);
}
var byteArray = new Uint8Array(byteNumbers);
byteArrays.push(byteArray);
}
var blob = new Blob(byteArrays, {type: contentType});
return blob;
}
The alert(fileType) does display the correct file type - application/pdf.
I have to admit that I lifted the b64toBlob() function from a blog somewhere but I have forgotten which one and have lost the URL to the site. My apologies to the original author. If anyone recognizes the code and knows the author/site please let me know
Edit

How to convert Uint8ClampedArray of webp image picked from canvas to base64

I'm trying to convert Uint8ClampedArray picked from webp images on canvas using the getImageData method.
I've tried the method found in this thread: How can I create a canvas imageData array from an arrayBuffer representation of a JPG
The output I get is only this part:
AAAAAA==
How to get the full data. Here's how I tried unsuccessful:
function Uint8toBase64(idata) {
this.idata = idata;
var u = new Uint8ClampedArray(4);
for (var i = 0; i < idata.length; i += 4) {
idata[0] = u[i];
idata[1] = u[i + 1];
idata[2] = u[i + 2];
idata[3] = u[i + 3];
}
var str = String.fromCharCode.apply(null, u);
var b64 = btoa(str);
console.log(b64);
}
Thanks in advance,
