I'm using Dart to develop a personal whiteboard Chrome app and it is sometimes useful to be able to quickly copy and paste an image (e.g. a slide from a presentation, a diagram or a handout) so that I can add notes over the image while teaching a class or giving a presentation.
How can I paste an image stored on the clipboard onto a canvas element in Dart?
Actually, this answer to the same question for JS is almost directly applicable. A Dart translation might look something like:
import 'dart:html';
void main() {
var can = new CanvasElement()
..width = 600
..height = 600
;
var con = can.getContext('2d');
document.onPaste.listen((e) {
var blob = e.clipboardData.items[0].getAsFile();
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onLoad.listen((e) {
var img = new ImageElement()
..src = (e.target as FileReader).result;
img.onLoad.listen((_) {
con.drawImage(img, 0, 0);
});
});
reader.readAsDataUrl(blob);
});
document.body.children.add(can);
}
