[C3.js][TypeScript] Save C3.js charts as images

Intro

Last time, I save C3.js charts as images.

But all of the CSS values were ignored.
So this time, I will try using CSS to save images.

Get stylesheet values

I can't get stylesheet values by TypeScript.

sample.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <title>chart sample</title>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <link href="css/sample.css" rel="stylesheet" />
    </head>
    <body>
        <div id="sample_target">Hello</div>
        <script src="./js/sample.js"></script>
        <script>Page.init();</script>
    </body>
</html>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

sample.css

#sample_target {
    background-color: red;
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

sample.ts

export function init(): void {
    const sample = document.getElementById("sample_target") as HTMLElement;
    console.log(sample.style.background);
    console.log(sample.style.backgroundColor);
...
}

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This is because the images what are created from SVG don't have grid lines.

To get CSS values, I can use "document.styleSheets".

Each elements have stylesheet values per file.
Because I can get null from "document.styleSheets[0].title", I use "document.styleSheets[0].href" to find the target stylesheet file.

index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <title>chart sample</title>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <link href="css/chart.page.css" rel="stylesheet" />
        <link href="css/c3.css" rel="stylesheet" />
    </head>
    <body>
        <div id="chart_root"></div>
        <script src="./js/main.page.js"></script>
        <script>Page.init();</script>
    </body>
</html>

chart.page.css

.solid_line line {
    stroke: #000000;
    stroke-dasharray: 1 0;
    stroke-linecap: round;
}
.dashed_line line {
    stroke: #9f9f9f;
    stroke-dasharray: 2 5;
    stroke-linecap: round;

        for(let i = 0; i < document.styleSheets.length; i++) {
            const styleSheet = document.styleSheets[i];

            if(styleSheet?.href == null) {
                continue;
            }
            if(styleSheet.href.endsWith(targetName)) {
                return styleSheet;
            }
        }

Get setting stylesheet values targets

Last time, I set styles to all lines of the chart.
In this time, I try separating them to set each styles.

Get class names and ids from CSSStyleSheet

I have to get class names and ids from "CSSStyleSheet" to find DOM targets.
I can get them from "document.styleSheets[0].cssRules".

One problem is because I only can get "CSSRule" from "document.styleSheets[0].cssRules[0]" and the type doesn't have "selectorText".

So I have to use type narrowing of TypeScript.

chartViewer.ts

...
    public saveImage(): void {
        const svg = this.getSvgRoot();
        if(svg == null) {
            console.error("svg was null");            
            return;
        }
        const styleSheet = this.getStyleSheet("chart.page.css");
        if(styleSheet == null) {
            console.error("styleSheet was null");            
            return;
        }
        this.setLineStyles(svg, styleSheet, "solid_line");
        this.setLineStyles(svg, styleSheet, "dashed_line");
...
    }
...
    private setLineStyles(svg: SVGElement, styleSheet: CSSStyleSheet, targetName: string): void {
        const lineElements = svg.querySelectorAll(`.c3 .${targetName} line`);
        if(lineElements.length <= 0) {
            return;
        }
        for(let i = 0; i < styleSheet.cssRules.length; i++) {
            const rule = styleSheet.cssRules[i];
            if(this.isCSSDeclaration(rule)) {
                if(rule.selectorText.includes(targetName)) {
                    for(let k = 0; k < lineElements.length; k++) {
                        const line = lineElements[k] as any;
                        if(line == null) {
                            continue;
                        }       
                        if("style" in line &&
                                line.style instanceof CSSStyleDeclaration) {

                        }
                    }
                }
            }
