Seeking to incorporate a base64 image stored in local storage under the key ImgStorage into the CSS background:
data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANS......
Experimented with two approaches:
1) Loading from storage and placing in CSS tag:
var TheImage = localStorage.getItem('ImgStorage');
$('body').css({ 'background-image': "url(" + TheImage) });
2) Recreating the canvas from the storage data:
var Canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
Canvas.width = 50;
Canvas.height = 50;
var Context = Canvas.getContext("2d");
var TheImage = localStorage.getItem('ImgStorage');
Context.drawImage(TheImage, 0, 0);
Canvas.toDataURL("image/png");
$('body').css({ 'background-image': "url(" + Canvas.toDataURL("image/png") + ")" });
Existing examples online mainly focus on rendering images inside an <img> tag from storage.
Has anyone successfully implemented this for a CSS background?
On a separate note, encoding images in base64 allows for embedding them within the HTML page without extra requests, potentially improving performance by reducing the number of requests. While this may not work for all browsers, it's a strategy worth considering due to the evolution of browsers over time.
