how to save image data in array in javascript

To save image data in an array in JavaScript, you can make use of the HTML5 Canvas element. The canvas element provides a powerful 2D rendering API, which allows us to manipulate image data directly.

Following is the code snippet to save image data in an array:

index.tsx
//create a canvas element
let canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
let context = canvas.getContext('2d');

//create an image object
let image = new Image();

//set the source of the image
image.src = 'path/to/image';

//when the image loads
image.onload = function() {
  //set the dimensions of the canvas same as the image
  canvas.width = image.width;
  canvas.height = image.height;

  //draw the image onto the canvas
  context.drawImage(image, 0, 0);

  //get the image data
  let imageData = context.getImageData(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
  let data = imageData.data;

  //save the data to an array
  let dataArray = [];
  for(let i=0; i<data.length; i++) {
    dataArray.push(data[i]);
  }
};

In the code above, we create a canvas element and get its 2D rendering context. We then create an image object and set its source. When the image loads, we set the dimensions of the canvas same as the image and draw the image onto the canvas using the drawImage() method. We then get the image data using the getImageData() method which returns an object containing the image data. We convert this object to an array and save it to dataArray.
