English | 简体中文

const fs = require("fs");
const { Screenshots } = require("node-screenshots");

let capturer = Screenshots.fromPoint(100, 100);

console.log(capturer, capturer.id);

// Synchronous capture
let image = capturer.captureSync();
fs.writeFileSync("./a.png", image);

// Asynchronous capture
capturer.capture().then((data) => {
    console.log(data);
    fs.writeFileSync(`${capturer.id}.png`, data);
});

// Get all screen captures
let all = Screenshots.all() ?? [];

all.forEach((capturer) => {
    console.log({
        id: capturer.id,
        x: capturer.x,
        y: capturer.y,
        width: capturer.width,
        height: capturer.height,
        rotation: capturer.rotation,
        scaleFactor: capturer.scaleFactor,
        isPrimary: capturer.isPrimary,
    });
    capturer.captureSync(true);
});

• Screenshots.fromPoint(x, y): Get a screenshot from the specified coordinates
• Screenshots.all(): Get all screenshots
• screenshots.capture(copyOutputData): Asynchronously capture full screen
• screenshots.captureSync(copyOutputData): Synchronously capture full screen
• screenshots.captureArea(x, y, width, height, copyOutputData): Asynchronously capture the specified area
• screenshots.captureAreaSync(x, y, width, height, copyOutputData): Synchronously capture the specified area

copyOutputData: pass related parameters in electron, otherwise electron will crash, nodejs does not pass or passes false, performance will be better, for more information refer to napi-rs/napi-rs#1346
