Interface OffscreenCanvas

    EventTarget is a DOM interface implemented by objects that can receive events and may have listeners for them.

    Properties

    height: number

    These attributes return the dimensions of the OffscreenCanvas object's bitmap.

    They can be set, to replace the bitmap with a new, transparent black bitmap of the specified dimensions (effectively resizing it).

    oncontextlost: ((this: OffscreenCanvas, ev: Event) => any)
    oncontextrestored: ((this: OffscreenCanvas, ev: Event) => any)
    width: number

    These attributes return the dimensions of the OffscreenCanvas object's bitmap.

    They can be set, to replace the bitmap with a new, transparent black bitmap of the specified dimensions (effectively resizing it).

    Methods

    • Appends an event listener for events whose type attribute value is type. The callback argument sets the callback that will be invoked when the event is dispatched.

      The options argument sets listener-specific options. For compatibility this can be a boolean, in which case the method behaves exactly as if the value was specified as options's capture.

      When set to true, options's capture prevents callback from being invoked when the event's eventPhase attribute value is BUBBLING_PHASE. When false (or not present), callback will not be invoked when event's eventPhase attribute value is CAPTURING_PHASE. Either way, callback will be invoked if event's eventPhase attribute value is AT_TARGET.

      When set to true, options's passive indicates that the callback will not cancel the event by invoking preventDefault(). This is used to enable performance optimizations described in § 2.8 Observing event listeners.

      When set to true, options's once indicates that the callback will only be invoked once after which the event listener will be removed.

      If an AbortSignal is passed for options's signal, then the event listener will be removed when signal is aborted.

      The event listener is appended to target's event listener list and is not appended if it has the same type, callback, and capture.

      Parameters

      Returns void

    • Returns a promise that will fulfill with a new Blob object representing a file containing the image in the OffscreenCanvas object.

      The argument, if provided, is a dictionary that controls the encoding options of the image file to be created. The type field specifies the file format and has a default value of "image/png"; that type is also used if the requested type isn't supported. If the image format supports variable quality (such as "image/jpeg"), then the quality field is a number in the range 0.0 to 1.0 inclusive indicating the desired quality level for the resulting image.

      Parameters

      Returns Promise<Blob>

    • Dispatches a synthetic event event to target and returns true if either event's cancelable attribute value is false or its preventDefault() method was not invoked, and false otherwise.

      Parameters

      Returns boolean

    • Returns a newly created ImageBitmap object with the image in the OffscreenCanvas object. The image in the OffscreenCanvas object is replaced with a new blank image.
