Hi folks,

Just a quick question. Is that possible to run dom-to-image on NodeJS?

You need window.getComputedStyle, so perhaps a headless browser instance would make it work

BrunoQuaresma commented 2 years ago

Yes, I'm already using a headless browser, but it is pretty slow, so I was trying to find a better alternative. Thank you.

Crazy idea - just use https://github.com/jsdom/jsdom

BrunoQuaresma commented 2 years ago

I tried, but it didn't work. It gets an error related to canvas even after use node-canvas. 😞

There was a perf-hitting extreme CSS optimisation added in #37 for SVGs.

It got switched off for raster images in December - v2.9.5.
A 12.5-times-faster (but around 40-50% as good) CSS reducer was added for raster images about 5 months ago in #71 - v2.10.1
v2.13.1 - released yesterday - removed the stronger SVG optimization.

There's plans to bring it back in #92 as a much quicker post-processing op. Choice of browser is also probably important. But I have no data to suggest anything more than "maybe MS Edge".

Curious to know if it works with node + jsdom
