How to convert HTML to image in Node.js
You can easily do it on frontend using html2canvas. On backend you can write the html on a file and access using a file URI (i.e: file:///home/user/path/to/your/file.html
), it should work fine with chrome headless-browser and Nightmare (screenshot feature). Another option is to setup a simple HTTP server and access the url.
You can use a library called Puppeteer. Sample code snippet :
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.setViewport({
width: 960,
height: 760,
deviceScaleFactor: 1,
});
await page.setContent(imgHTML);
await page.screenshot({path: example.png});
await browser.close();
This will save a screenshot of the HTML in the root directory.
