Blob images does not show up at UI, although I can see them on console

I am trying to create multiple blob images, and show them for a video timeline UI. To create the images, I take screenshots of the video for some certain time frames, and create img elements, then add img.src as blob images' url. The problem is blob images does not show up at UI, although I can see them on console. Any ideas?
Code snippet from creation of blob images:
// draw the video frame to canvas
const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
ctx.drawImage(videoPlayer, 0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
ctx.canvas.toBlob(
blob => {
resolve(blob);
},
"image/jpeg",
0.75 /* quality */
);
Code Snippet from creation of images:
let img = '';
for (let i = 0; i < count / 3; i++) {
const cover = await GetVideoCover(item.video_url, i);
var url = URL.createObjectURL(cover);
var image = new Image();
image.src = url;
img += "<img src='"+image.src+"'>";
console.log(img)
}
return img;
The console log from console.log(img)line:
actual html img elements:
When I manually update the source as below, it works, but I did not understand why it does not get the source by itself. Any idea would be appreciated.

Try registering an onload event listener on the image element and then handle all code that depends on that image in the event listener, like so:
for (let i = 0; i < count / 3; i++) {
const cover = await GetVideoCover(item.video_url, i);
var url = URL.createObjectURL(cover);
var image = new Image();
image.src = url;
image.addEventListener('load', (event) => {
// perform some magic here e.g append to DOM or draw the image to canvas
}
}

Thank you for the contributions, the answers did not work but they helped me in the process. I solved the problem today and wanted to share it here.
I should have mentioned before as the created images are fed to vis.js.
When I experimented more, I saw vis.js does not append the created objects, but it changes the innerHTML of the timeline. (vis.js might not support blob images as src of img tag)
Then, I decided to give a shot to append element. To do that, I created a new div element, and appended the created images to that div.
I also added an additional promise level to the blob image creation process, since some files were missing.
Code snippet from newly added promise level:
const blobToImage = (itemVideoURL,captureSecond) => {
return new Promise(async (resolve,reject)=> {
let cover = await GetVideoCover(itemVideoURL,captureSecond);
const url = URL.createObjectURL(cover)
let img = new Image()
img.onload = () => {
URL.revokeObjectURL(url)
resolve(img)
}
img.src = url
img.height = '75'
})
}
Code snippet from new function:
let divElement = document.createElement('div');
for (let i = 0; i < count * 3; i++) {
let newImage = await blobToImage(item.video_url,i+1)
divElement.appendChild(newImage)
}
return divElement;
It magically worked.

You should use a single image rather than multiple images.
Just concatanate all images together :
let imgEle1 = document.querySelectorAll(".image")[0];
let imgEle2 = document.querySelectorAll(".image")[1];
let resEle = document.querySelector(".result");
var context = resEle.getContext("2d");
let BtnEle = document.querySelector(".Btn");
BtnEle.addEventListener("click", () => {
resEle.width = imgEle1.width;
resEle.height = imgEle1.height;
context.globalAlpha = 1.0;
context.drawImage(imgEle1, 0, 0);
context.globalAlpha = 0.5;
context.drawImage(imgEle2, 0, 0);
});

How to retain order of array using each and image.onload

I'm trying to use image.onload function but async issue is occuring. I'm passing the data through array but it is not executing according to array order in the image.onload function. How can I fix this issue?
Object.entries(data).forEach(element => {
const brushtype = element[0]['brush']
const img = new Image();
img.onload = () => {
brushctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0);
}
img.src = brushtype;
}

The problem is the way you're requesting those images.
By doing
Object.entries(data).forEach(element => {
}
it's happening at the same time virtually. Whatever image finished loading will be drawn right-after.
If you want your images to be drawn in a specific order - e.g. the order it's listed in the array - you need to request a new one after the previous finished loading.
Here's an example:
let canvas = document.getElementById('canvas');
let context = canvas.getContext('2d');
let myImages = ['https://picsum.photos/id/1/50/50', 'https://picsum.photos/id/22/50/50', 'https://picsum.photos/id/83/50/50', 'https://picsum.photos/id/64/50/50'];
function loadImages(index) {
let image = new Image();
image.onload = function(e) {
context.drawImage(e.target, index % 2 * 50, parseInt(index / 2) * 50);
if (index + 1 < myImages.length) {
loadImages(index + 1);
}
}
image.src = myImages[index];
}
loadImages(0);
<canvas id='canvas' width='200' height='200'></canvas>

To draw images in order of request you either need to wait until all images have loaded and then draw them only when the earlier image have been draw. This answer gives an example of both approaches.
Note That if there are any load errors none of the images may be drawn. In the second method an error will mean none to all but one are drawn.
Load first then draw
The snippet bellow loads first then draws. It stores the images in an array images and keeps a count of images loading. Counting up for each new image, and when an image load it counts down.
When the counter is zero when know all images have loaded and can then draw them all
var imgCount = 0;
const images = [];
Object.entries(data).forEach(element => {
const img = new Image;
img.src = element[0]['brush'];
images.push(img);
imgCount ++;
img.onload = () => {
imgCount --;
if (!imgCount) {
for(const img of images) { brushctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0) }
}
}
}
Draw only when first or previous loaded.
The alternative is to again create an array to hold all the images. But this time we track what has been drawn. Each time an image is loaded, we check if any of the images in the array before it have loaded, then we draw all images until we find a empty image slot.
var drawnCount = 0;
const images = [];
Object.entries(data).forEach(element => {
const img = new Image;
const imgIdx = images.length;
img.src = element[0]['brush'];
img.onload = () => {
images[imgIdx] = img;
while (images[drawnCount]) { brushctx.drawImage(images[drawnCount++], 0, 0) }
}
images.push(null);
}

dynamic image variable with onclick event

I have several canvases. I also have several picture URLs. I want to draw all pictures on the canvas. There is a problem in the drawing function. Drawing the image only works when the image loads completely, but I have to draw the image as it loads. I wrote following code:
for (var i = 2; i < length; i++) {
canvid[i] = "canv" + i;
img[i] = new Image();
img[i].src = "..\\images\\UploadImage\\"+ name + i + ".jpg";
img[i].onload = function () {
var c = document.getElementById(canvId[i]);
var cDraw = c.getContext("2d");
cDraw.drawImage(img[i], 0, 0);
};
I know this code has error, it's kind of pseudo code to show what I want.

Put your logic in
$(documet).ready(function(){
//logic
});

the answer is in following link
stack overflow link
when you want to call on click event on image variable you have to wait for it
so you couldn't use loop you have to put next call on previous image on load event .
var loadImages = function (imageURLarray) {
if (!(startPage < pages))
return;
canvid = "canv" + i;
img.src = imageURLarray[startPage];
// your top code
img.onload = function (e) {
// code, run after image load
var c = document.getElementById(canvid);
var cDraw = c.getContext("2d");
cDraw.drawImage(img, 0, 0);
startPage++;
loadImages(imageURLarray);
}
}
loadImages(imageURLarray);

Saving multiple SVGs to canvas with text then getting dataURL

I have built an angularJS application, in this application SVG files represent garments that a user chooses. I have a download button which (currently) saves the first SVG as a PNG into a database and I use a view to display this "preview".
The directive I created looks like this:
.directive('kdExport', function () {
return {
restrict: 'A',
scope: {
target: '#kdExport',
team: '='
},
controller: 'ExportImageController',
link: function (scope, element, attrs, controller) {
console.log(scope.team);
// Bind to the onclick event of our button
element.bind('click', function (e) {
// Prevent the default action
e.preventDefault();
// Generate the image
controller.generateImage(scope.target, scope.team, function (preview) {
// Create our url
var url = '/kits/preview/' + preview.id;
// Open a new window
window.open(url, '_blank');
});
});
}
};
})
and the controller looks like this:
.controller('ExportImageController', ['PreviewService', function (service) {
var self = this;
// Function to remove the hidden layers of an SVG document
var removeHidden = function (element) {
// Get the element children
var children = element.children(),
i = children.length;
// If we have any children
if (children.length) {
// For each child
for (i; i >= 0; i--) {
// Get our child
var child = angular.element(children[i - 1]);
// Remove hidden from the child's children
removeHidden(child);
// Finally, if this child has the class "hidden"
if (child.hasClass("hidden")) {
// Remove the child
child.remove();
}
}
}
};
// Public function to generate the image
self.generateImage = function (element, team, onSuccess) {
// Get our SVG
var target = document.getElementById(element),
container = target.getElementsByClassName('svg-document')[0],
clone = container.cloneNode(true);
// Remove hidden layers
removeHidden(angular.element(clone));
// Create our data
var data = clone.innerHTML,
svg = new Blob([data], { type: 'image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8' });
// Get our context
var canvas = document.getElementById('canvas'),
ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
// Create our image
var DOMURL = window.URL || window.webkitURL || window,
url = DOMURL.createObjectURL(svg),
img = new Image();
// When the image has loaded
img.onload = function () {
canvas.width = 1000;
canvas.height = 500;
// Draw our image using the context
ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0, img.width, img.height, 0, 0, 1000, 500);
DOMURL.revokeObjectURL(url);
// Get our URL as a base64 string
var dataURL = canvas.toDataURL("image/png");
// Create our model
var model = {
teamName: team.name,
sport: team.sport,
data: dataURL
};
// Create our preview
service.create(model).then(function (response) {
// Invoke our success callback
onSuccess(response);
});
}
// Set the URL of the image
img.src = url;
};
}])
This works fine for a single SVG document, but now the client has asked me to do this for multiple SVGs with a title under each one and they want it all in one PNG.
I have not done a lot of work with canvasing, so I am not sure if this can be done.
Does anyone know how I might achieve this?

Ok, so I figured this out myself using promises.
Basically I created a method called drawImage that allowed me to draw an image for each SVG.
To make sure that all images were drawn before I invoke toDataURL I made the function return a promise and once the image loaded I resolved that promise.
Then I just used a $q.all to get the dataURL and save the data to my database.
The methods looked like this:
// Private function for drawing our images
var drawImage = function (canvas, ctx, clone) {
// Defer our promise
var deferred = $q.defer();
// Create our data
var data = clone.innerHTML,
svg = new Blob([data], { type: 'image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8' });
// Create our image
var DOMURL = window.URL || window.webkitURL || window,
url = DOMURL.createObjectURL(svg),
img = new Image();
// When the image has loaded
img.onload = function () {
// Get our location
getNextLocation(canvas.width, canvas.height, img);
// Draw our image using the context (Only draws half the image because I don't want to show the back)
ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0, img.width / 2, img.height, location.x, location.y, location.width, location.height);
DOMURL.revokeObjectURL(url);
// Resolve our promise
deferred.resolve();
}
// Set the URL of the image
img.src = url;
// Return our promise
return deferred.promise;
};
// Public function to generate the image
self.generateImage = function (element, team, onSuccess) {
// Get our SVG
var target = document.getElementById('totals'),
containers = angular.element(target.getElementsByClassName('svg-document'));
// Get our context
var canvas = document.getElementById('canvas'),
ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
// Set our canvas height and width
canvas.width = 2000;
canvas.height = calculateCanvasHeight(containers.length);
// Create our array of promises
var promises = [];
// For each container
for (var i = 0; i < containers.length; i++) {
// Get our container
var container = containers[i],
clone = container.cloneNode(true);
// Remove hidden layers
removeHidden(angular.element(clone));
// Add our promise to the array
promises.push(drawImage(canvas, ctx, clone));
}
// When all promises have resolve
$q.all(promises).then(function () {
// Get our URL as a base64 string
var dataURL = canvas.toDataURL("image/png");
// Create our model
var model = {
teamName: team.name,
sport: team.sport,
data: dataURL
};
// Create our preview
self.create(model).then(function (response) {
// Invoke our success callback
onSuccess(response);
});
})
};
Obviously there is missing code here, but this code answers my issue, the rest just makes my service work :)

tick method in javascript for canvas

I'm trying to make a tick method for this code.
When I try to put a while loop or time interval it just goes blank.
I want the tick method to call this function without the canvas going blank.
How would i make that tick method
function setup(){
var canvas = document.getElementById('my_canvas');
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
canvas.width = 800;
canvas.height = 600;
var gun = new Image();
var badguy = new Image();
var wall1 = 200;
var ground = new Image();
var back = new Image();
var back2 = new Image();
var back3 = new Image();
var wall = new Image();
var wall2 = new Image();
back.onload = function() {
ctx.drawImage(back, 0, 0, 800, 300);
};
back2.onload = function() {
ctx.drawImage(back2, mountainplace, 0, mtnsize1, 300);
};
back3.onload = function() {
ctx.drawImage(back3, mountainplace2, 0, mtnsize2, 300);
};
ground.onload = function() {
ctx.drawImage(ground, groundplace, 300, 1980, 200);
};
wall.onload = function() {
ctx.drawImage(wall, place2, 250, size2, 100);
};
wall2.onload = function() {
ctx.drawImage(wall2, place, 250, size, 100);
};
badguy.onload = function() {
ctx.drawImage(badguy, badguyplace, 250, 100, 100);
};
gun.onload = function() {
ctx.drawImage(gun, 0, 100, 400, 400);
};
back2.src = "moutain1.png";
back3.src = "moutain2.png";
back.src = "backing.png";
ground.src = "ground1.jpg";
wall.src = "wall.png";
wall2.src = "wall2.png";
badguy.src = "santa2.png";
gun.src = "gun1.png";
};

You need to clarify the question because I'm not sure what exactly you are trying to achieve.
I assume you put some code at the end of your setup() function that performs some operations on the images. But before you can do it you need to wait for the images to load.
BTW: another problem with your code is that the images will be drawn on the canvas in the order in which they load, which may be unpredictable. You probably want to avoid this too.
A solution to your problem (or at least to what I think your problem is) is to first start loading the images and then only perform further operations after they have all been loaded.
You can use the following code to do this:
function makeAllLoadedHandler(image_files_count, on_all_loaded) {
return function() {
--image_files_count;
if (image_files_count == 0) {
// All images loaded, call the function.
on_all_loaded();
}
}
}
function loadAllImages(image_files, on_all_loaded) {
var images = {};
var callback = makeAllLoadedHandler(image_files.length, function() { on_all_loaded(images); } );
for (var i = 0; i < image_files.length; ++i) {
var image = new Image;
image.src = image_files[i];
image.onload = callback;
images[image_files[i]] = image;
}
}
The loadAllImages() function takes an array of image file names and a function to call when all the images have been loaded.
You can use it like this in your code:
function setup() {
var image_files = [
"mountain1.png",
"mountain2.png",
"backing.png",
"ground1.jpg",
"wall.png",
"wall2.png",
"santa2.png",
"gun1.png" ];
loadAllImages(image_files, onAllImagesLoaded);
}
function onAllImagesLoaded(images) {
// Draw your images and perform all the other tasks on them.
// The 'images' object stores each of the Image object under a key that is
// its file name.
ctx.drawImage(images['backing.png'], 0, 0, 800, 300);
// ...
// Do other stuff with the images.
}
You just call the setup() function like you used to and then the onAllImagesLoaded function will be called some time later when all the images are available. You continue your processing in there.
I hope this helps. Although it's possible that your problem is completely different ;)
