Using Canvas method toDataURL, I would like to be able to save the image on the server side (using Rails).
With toDataURL string, how to use it in a form that can be seen as a file attachment in a HTML form ?
To save a new Canvas document:Choose File | Save As. In the Save As dialog box, select a location to store the document and type a file name. Click Save to store the document on disk.
You can save a canvas to an image file by using the method canvas. toDataURL() , that returns the data URI for the canvas' image data.
Solution using jQuery, Paperclip, datafy.rb http://gist.github.com/397615
Here is my solution:
The Presentation page:
<html>
<!-- by [email protected] - on december/2012 -->
<script language='javaScript'>
// Check for the various File API support.
if (window.File && window.FileReader && window.FileList && window.Blob) {
// Great success! All the File APIs are supported.
} else {
alert('Este Browser não suporte a API Files');
}
function Compactar(Elemento) {
var file = document.getElementById(Elemento),
reader = new FileReader(), // métodos assíncronos, por isso os eventos!
form = document.getElementById('frmFotos');
//alert(file.id);
reader.readAsDataURL(file.files[0]); // aqui a abertura do arquivo, que irá disparar a função acima
reader.onloadend = function() { // aqui um evento, que será disparado na primeira linha abaixo da função chamada
var image = new Image();
image.src = reader.result; // vai disparar o tratamento do evento abaixo
image.onload = function() {
var maxWidth = 800,
maxHeight = 600,
width = image.width,
height = image.height;
// calculate the width and height, constraining the proportions
if (width > height) {
if (width > maxWidth) {
//height *= max_width / width;
height = Math.round(height *= maxWidth / width);
width = maxWidth;
}
} else {
if (height > maxHeight) {
//width *= max_height / height;
width = Math.round(width *= maxHeight / height);
height = maxHeight;
}
}
var canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
canvas.width = width;
canvas.height = height;
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
ctx.drawImage(image, 0, 0, maxWidth, maxHeight);
// The resized file ready for upload
var finalFile = canvas.toDataURL("image/jpeg",0.8); //a 80% de qualidade
// aqui cria-se novo input comun!
/*var newinput = document.createElement("input");
newinput.type = 'text';
newinput.name = "edt" & Elemento;
newinput.value = finalFile; // put result from canvas into new hidden input
form.appendChild(newinput);*/
document.getElementById("edtArq_1").value = finalFile;
var preview = document.getElementById('preview');
//alert(preview.id);
preview.appendChild(canvas); // do the actual resized preview
}
}
}
</script>
<html>
<form id="form" action="submit" method="post" accept-charset="utf-8" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<!-- this will be left behind - we don't want to upload Mbytes of information -->
<input type='file' name='Arq_1' id='Arq_1' size='50' onchange='Compactar("Arq_1");'>

The page that will reveive the request from the first page and save the image:
