I have a javascript function print()
. It is called by a php loop. It shows 2 copies of an image on a page.
If I run it 1 time, nothing is wrong and below function works. But If I run it more than 1 time, due to promise nature of hmtl2canvas, it corrupts.
I searched for making html2canvas work sync but not much solutions
Also I tried to put it inside a async/await, but none of them works.
function print(html_string){
let leftPanel = 'left'+Date.now(); //create Unique ID
let rightPanel = 'right'+Date.now(); //create Unique ID
document.body.innerHTML += "<div style='display:flex;'><div id='"+leftPanel+"'></div><div id='"+rightPanel+"'></div></div>";
var iframe=document.createElement('iframe');
document.body.appendChild(iframe);
var iframedoc=iframe.contentDocument||iframe.contentWindow.document;
iframedoc.body.innerHTML=html_string;
html2canvas(iframedoc.body).then(canvas => {
jQuery("#"+leftPanel).append(canvas);
});
html2canvas(iframedoc.body).then(canvas => {
jQuery("#"+rightPanel).append(canvas);
document.body.removeChild(iframe);
});
}
EDIT:
Above javascript function is called by below php loop:
foreach($InvoiceNos as $row){
$downloadedInvoiceHtml = requestInvoice($row->UUID);
?><script>print('<?=$downloadedInvoiceHtml?>');</script><?php
}
Use an array
<script>
const html = [];
<?php
foreach($InvoiceNos as $row){
$downloadedInvoiceHtml = requestInvoice($row->UUID);
?>html.push('<?=$downloadedInvoiceHtml?>');<?php
} ?>
let cnt = 0;
function print(){
if (cnt >= html.length) return; // stop
$("body").append(`<div style='display:flex;'><div></div><div></div></div>`);
const div = document.createElement("div");
div.innerHTML = html[cnt]
html2canvas(div).then(canvas => {
$("body div:last-child div").append(canvas);
cnt++;
print()
});
}
print()
</script>
Alternatively
<?php
foreach($InvoiceNos as $row){
$downloadedInvoiceHtml = requestInvoice($row->UUID);
?><div style="display:flex"><div class="html"><?=$downloadedInvoiceHtml?></div></div>
} ?>
<script>
let cnt = 0;
const $html = $(".html");
function print(){
if (cnt >= $html.length) return; // stop
$current = $html[cnt]
html2canvas($html).then(canvas => {
$current.empty().append(canvas);
$current.after($current.clone(true);
cnt++;
print()
});
}
print()
</script>
