# How to Export HTML to Image in Angular Component
As a web developer, you may encounter scenarios where you need to export the content of an HTML element to an image. In this tutorial, we will explore how to achieve this using the `html2canvas` library in an Angular component.
## Step 1: Install the html2canvas Package
Firstly, install the `html2canvas` package using npm:
```bash
npm install html2canvas --save
```
## Step 2: Import Required Modules
In your Angular component file, import the necessary modules:
import { Component, OnInit, OnDestroy, ElementRef, ViewChild } from
"@angular/core";
import html2canvas from 'html2canvas';
## Step 3: Component Setup
Define the necessary elements in your component:
@ViewChild('screen') screen: ElementRef;
@ViewChild('canvas') canvas: ElementRef;
@ViewChild('downloadLink') downloadLink: ElementRef;
## Step 4: Implement Image Download Function
Add a function to download the HTML content as an image:
downloadImage(){
html2canvas(this.screen.nativeElement).then(canvas => {
this.canvas.nativeElement.src = canvas.toDataURL();
this.downloadLink.nativeElement.href = canvas.toDataURL('image/png');
this.downloadLink.nativeElement.download = 'full_page.png';
this.downloadLink.nativeElement.click();
});
}
## Step 5: HTML Setup
In your component's HTML file, set up the elements for exporting:
<div #screen>
<h1>Hello Test</h1>
</div>
<div id="download">
<img #canvas>
<a #downloadLink></a>
</div>
## Step 6: Invoking the Function
Call the `downloadImage` function from your component when you want to trigger the export.
Now you have a complete setup to export HTML content as an image in your Angular component using `html2canvas`. Feel free to customize the code according to your specific requirements.
Happy coding!
