A Similar Solution To Html2canvas With Nodejs

I'm using css, jquery and nodejs (with ejs and express) to create a website and I need to export a div with some text and some divs with a background-image as an image (jpg or png)

Solution 1:

I know this question is old, but these days I'd try puppeteer

const puppeteer = require("puppeteer");

async function printPDF() {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch({ headless: true });
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  await page.goto("http:///stackoverflow.com", {
    waitUntil: "networkidle0",
  });
  const pdf = await page.pdf({
    width: 1200,
    height: 1920,
    pageRanges: "1-2",
    path: "so.pdf",
  });

  await browser.close();
  return pdf;
}
printPDF();
