NodeJS support? #338

Open webhype opened 1 year ago

webhype commented 1 year ago

Hi, is NodeJS support planned or is there a workaround to run this under NodeJS without loading a whole Chromium with it? There are a few Puppeteer/Chromium based libraries out there but they are rather heavyweight and the Chromium has to be compatible with the target OS. Thanks!

This would be cool and very useful, though I don't know how heavy it would be.

I tried running this with a jsdom node, but it didn't work: this library expects certain browser objects, such as HTMLCanvasElement, to be in global scope. I'm pretty sure jsdom implements those objects to some degree, but I'm not sure how complete they are, or how to bridge the gap so html-to-image can find them. Would be interesting to try though.
