    Function frames

    • Generator that yields frames from a video element as ImageData.

      import { Video } from 'https://unpkg.com/ixfx/dist/visual.js'

      const ctx = canvasEl.getContext(`2d`);
      for await (const frame of Video.frames(videoEl)) {
      // TODO: Some processing of pixels

      // Draw image on to the visible canvas
      ctx.putImageData(frame, 0, 0);
      }

      Under the hood it creates a hidden canvas where frames are drawn to. This is necessary to read back pixel data. An existing canvas can be used if it is passed in as an option.

      Options:

      • canvasEl: CANVAS element to use as a buffer (optional)
      • maxIntervalMs: Max frame rate (0 by default, ie runs as fast as possible)
      • showCanvas: Whether buffer canvas will be shown (false by default)

      Parameters

      • sourceVideoEl: HTMLVideoElement
      • opts: FramesOpts = {}

      Returns AsyncIterable<ImageData>
