not able to convert image to base64, saying cors issue ( digital ocean spaces )

Posted on January 20, 2018

I have a digital ocean spaces account, and image files are stored, In my website i am showing all images, i want user to download all images, So i am using jspdf to put all images in pdf… but jspdf requires image in base64 format. when i convert image to base64 using below function, it gives error.

getBase64Image(img) {
    var canvas = <HTMLCanvasElement>document.createElement("canvas");
    canvas.width = img.width;
    canvas.height = img.height;
    var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
    ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0);
    var dataURL = canvas.toDataURL("image/jpeg");
    return dataURL;
  }
Failed to execute 'toDataURL' on 'HTMLCanvasElement': Tainted canvases may not be exported.

after this i have added crossorigin="anonymous" in img tag, then it gives this error

Origin 'http://localhost:4200' is therefore not allowed access.

after uploaded to server, still error was same
