rasterizeelement v0.1.4

rasterizeElement.js

Expands the functionality of rasterizeHTML.js to rasterize the contents of specified element. It supports everything that is supported by rasterizeHTML.js.

Install:

$ npm install rasterizeelement.js Then use it via require('rasterizeelement') or use browserify builds from dist/rasterizeElement.js or dist/rasterizeElement.min.js in <script/> tag.

Example:

rasterizeElement.rasterize('#my-content', options, function(imgBase64){
  var img = document.createElement('img');
  img.src = imgBase64;
  document.appendChild(img);
});

Options:

var options = {
  encoding: 'png',
  quality: 1.0.
  shouldClone: false,
  canvasFillStyle: '#FFFFFF'
}

How it works?

The drill here is pretty simple. An entire document is rasterized on temporary canvas using rasterizeHTML. Temporary canvas is then resized using specified element's height, width, left offset and top offset and converted into base64 encoding.

Development:

1. clone this repository
2. cd into rasterizeElement.js
3. run npm install
4. run grunt build to manually build files in dist OR run grunt watch to auto build files as files in src changes
