FabricJS - "Tainted canvases may not be exported" JS Error when run toDataURL

Eugene Vilder picture Eugene Vilder · May 17, 2018 · Viewed 7.3k times · Source

I have a custom component called ImageContainer, which basically creates a rectangle and applies an image as a fill pattern.

When I run function toDataURL on the canvas, I get a js error

Uncaught DOMException: Failed to execute 'toDataURL' on 'HTMLCanvasElement': Tainted canvases may not be exported.

The result I trying to achieve should create a png data and apply it on image tag as a src.

Any idea how could it be fixed? Tnx

You need to add crossOrigin: 'anonymous' to the image element. Have added in fabric.Image.fromURL, or you need to use images from same server, or where crossOrigin is defined.

DEMO

fabric.ImageContainer = fabric.util.createClass(fabric.Rect, {
  type: 'image-container',
  initialize: function(options) {
	  options || (options = { });
    options.content || (options.content = { });
    options.content.angle = options.content.angle || 0;
    
    this.callSuper('initialize', options);
    this.set({
      objectCaching: false,
      ddpPreviousCenter: this.getCenterPoint()
    });
    
    this.on('scaling', function(el){
      this.set({
	      width: this.width * this.scaleX,
        height: this.height * this.scaleY,
        scaleX: 1,
        scaleY: 1
      });
      this.setCoords();
      this._drawImage();
    }.bind(this));
    
    this.on('modified', function(el){
				this._updateContentCoords();
    }.bind(this));
  
    this._drawImage();        
  },
  _updateContentCoords: function(){
  		const ddpPreviousCenter = {...this.ddpPreviousCenter};
      const content = {...this.content};
      const shiftX = this.getCenterPoint().x - ddpPreviousCenter.x;
      const shiftY = this.getCenterPoint().y - ddpPreviousCenter.y;

      content.left += shiftX;
      content.top += shiftY;
    
      this.set({
        ddpPreviousCenter: this.getCenterPoint(),
        content
      });
  },
  _drawImage: function() {
    const scaleFactor = 1;
    const imgSrc = [
      'https://picsum.photos/',
      this.content.width * scaleFactor,
      '/',
      this.content.height * scaleFactor
    ].join('');

    fabric.Image.fromURL(imgSrc, function(img) {
      img.set({
        left: this.content.left - this.left + this.content.width / 2,
        top:  this.content.top - this.top + this.content.height / 2,
        scaleX: 1,
        scalY: 1,
        angle: this.content.angle,
        originX: 'center',
        originY: 'center',
      });
      //            img.scaleToWidth(this.content.width);
      const patternSourceCanvas = new fabric.StaticCanvas();
      patternSourceCanvas.setDimensions({
        width: this.width,
        height: this.height
      });

     	patternSourceCanvas.setBackgroundColor(this.backgroundColor);
      patternSourceCanvas.add(img);
      patternSourceCanvas.renderAll();

      const pattern = new fabric.Pattern({
      	source: function() {
          return patternSourceCanvas.getElement();
        },
        repeat: 'no-repeat'
      });
      
      this.set({
        fill: pattern
      });

      this.canvas.renderAll();
      this.canvas.fire('image:pattern:loaded');
      
    }.bind(this),{
      crossOrigin: 'anonymous'
    });
  },
  toObject: function(options) {
        return fabric.util.object.extend(this.callSuper('toObject'), {
            ddpPreviousCenter: this.get('ddpPreviousCenter'),
            content: this.get('content'),
        });

        // return fabric.util.object.extend(this.callSuper('toObject'), {});
    },
  fromObject: function(object, callback) {
  	return fabric.Object._fromObject('ImageContainer', object, callback);
	},
  _render: function(ctx) {
    this.callSuper('_render', ctx);
  }
});

fabric.ImageContainer.__fromObject = function(object, callback, forceAsync) {
    if (!forceAsync) {
      fabric.util.enlivenPatterns([object.fill, object.stroke], function(patterns) {
      console.log(patterns);
        object.fill = patterns[0];
        object.stroke = patterns[1];
        var rect = new fabric.ImageContainer(object);
        callback && callback(rect);
      });
    }
    else {
      var rect = new fabric.ImageContainer(object);
      callback && callback(rect);
      return rect;
    }
  };
