# JavaScript Canvas to Blob
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
Canvas to Blob is a polyfill for the standard JavaScript
|
|
[canvas.toBlob](http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/scripting-1.html#dom-canvas-toblob)
|
|
method.
|
|
|
|
It can be used to create
|
|
[Blob](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Blob)
|
|
objects from an HTML
|
|
[canvas](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/HTML/Canvas) element.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
Include the (minified) JavaScript Canvas to Blob script in your HTML markup:
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<script src="js/canvas-to-blob.min.js"></script>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then use the *canvas.toBlob()* method in the same way as the native
|
|
implementation:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
|
|
/* ... your canvas manipulations ... */
|
|
if (canvas.toBlob) {
|
|
canvas.toBlob(
|
|
function (blob) {
|
|
// Do something with the blob object,
|
|
// e.g. creating a multipart form for file uploads:
|
|
var formData = new FormData();
|
|
formData.append('file', blob, fileName);
|
|
/* ... */
|
|
},
|
|
'image/jpeg'
|
|
);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
The JavaScript Canvas to Blob function has zero dependencies.
|
|
|
|
However, Canvas to Blob is a very suitable complement to the
|
|
[JavaScript Load Image](https://github.com/blueimp/JavaScript-Load-Image)
|
|
function.
|
|
|
|
## API
|
|
In addition to the **canvas.toBlob** polyfill, the JavaScript Canvas to Blob
|
|
script provides one additional function called **dataURLtoBlob**, which is added
|
|
to the global window object, unless the library is loaded via a module loader
|
|
like RequireJS, Browserify or webpack:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
// 80x60px GIF image (color black, base64 data):
|
|
var b64Data = 'R0lGODdhUAA8AIABAAAAAP///ywAAAAAUAA8AAACS4SPqcvtD6' +
|
|
'OctNqLs968+w+G4kiW5omm6sq27gvH8kzX9o3n+s73/g8MCofE' +
|
|
'ovGITCqXzKbzCY1Kp9Sq9YrNarfcrvcLDovH5PKsAAA7',
|
|
imageUrl = 'data:image/gif;base64,' + b64Data,
|
|
blob = window.dataURLtoBlob && window.dataURLtoBlob(imageUrl);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
