Error sharing base64 image on SocialShare plugin


I'm testing the base64 image sharing of the Social Share Plugin(Git Repo) and I'm having some troubles while doing it. I have the code below to create a canvas from a string and create a data url from the canvas and it works fine, the problem is when I try to share the created base64 using the plugin the images goes all black. But if I try any other random base64, like the one on the baseTest variable, It works fine. I'd appreciate any help with this. Thanks in advance.

            function socialShare() {
                var canvas = document.getElementById("receipt");
                var context = canvas.getContext("2d");

                const messages = [
                  "################################",

Solution

  • The image is somehow getting converted to jpeg, I guess. TRY either, drawing a white background before drawing the text or specifying the MIME Type explicitly.

    function socialShare() {
        var canvas = document.getElementById("receipt");
        var context = canvas.getContext("2d");
      
        const messages = [
                      "################################",
                      "Central Jogos",
                      "################################",
                      "Apostador: test",
                      "Valor apostado: R$ 5,00",
                      "Valor de retorno: R$ 6,15",
                      "Data da aposta: 19/02/2017 15:07",
                      "Quantidade de jogos: 1",
                      "--------------------------------",
                      "Vasco X Flamengo",
                      "Empate: 1.23",
                      "10/03/2017 15:30",
                      "================================",
                      "Cambista: Cambista Teste",
                      "Telefone: (82) 9977-8877"
                    ];
      
        // draw a white background
        context.fillStyle = "#fff";
        context.fillRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
      
        // draw text
        context.font = "12px Courier new";
        context.fillStyle = "#000";
        y = 12;
        messages.forEach(function(e) {
            context.fillText(e, 0, y);
            y += 18;
        });
      
        var base64 = canvas.toDataURL();
        // or specify the MIME Type explicitly
        // var base64 = canvas.toDataURL("image/png");
      
        console.log(base64);
    }
    <button onclick="socialShare()">Testar</button>
    <canvas id="receipt" width="230" height="270"></canvas>
