@sdetweil great thank so much, I’ve never ser this
very interesting and complete documentation. my first difficulty in all these docs is that the file is always referred to by exact path (ex: /home/pi/img.jpg) and in our EXT module, the image is sent as payload data. how to recover this variable in the print.js script I participated with bugsounet in the writing of the module (especially spectator to understand how it works), I would have liked to make my first pull request, hear the thunder of the printer at the print notification . If a developper interrsting to write this modules with me, or maybe sale me this.

@Alexandre-Venditti69 well you put the image on the screen by using a url ,

<img src="url...",

so there u have the url u need to use to print

u may have to extract it again from the html content at the time of the print request,
but u can use the dhtml API calls to get it, or jQuery

if u add a known ID= to the img tag

document.getElementById(…)
then u can get the value of the src=

[Alexandre-Venditti69]

@sdetweil i think if you use that, then u would have to add code to that to get to the image…
Of course, bugsounet told me i ve have to add console.log(payload) on the notification.
i ve start to write a new fonction in Ext-Selfies.js, and his node_helper.
texte du lien this exemple script print on défaut printer , but how i can writte it to resolve the payload

[sdetweil]

@Alexandre-Venditti69 console.log(notification)
will dump out the structure of the notification object so u might find the url there

@sdetweil

showLastPhoto: function(result, sendResult = true, showLastOnly = false) {
    var autoValidate = showLastOnly ? true : result.options.autoValidate
    this.IsShooting = true
    var con = document.querySelector("#EXT-SELFIES")
    con.classList.add("shown")
    var rd = document.querySelector("#EXT-SELFIES .result")
    rd.style.backgroundImage = `url(modules/EXT-Selfies/photos/${result.uri})`
    rd.classList.add("shown")
    if (autoValidate) {
      if (this.config.usePreview) {
        var preview = document.querySelector("#EXT-SELFIES .preview")
        preview.classList.remove("shown")
      }
      setTimeout(()=>{
        this.lastPhoto = result
        if (sendResult) this.sendNotification("EXT_SELFIES-RESULT", result)
        this.closeDisplayer()
      }, this.config.resultDuration)
    }
  },

  validateSelfie: function(result) {
    var preview = document.querySelector("#EXT-SELFIES .preview")
    preview.classList.remove("shown")
    var pannel = document.getElementById("EXT-SELFIES-PANNEL")
    pannel.classList.add("shown")

    var sendIcon = document.getElementById("EXT-SELFIES-SEND")
    sendIcon.onclick = ()=> {
      this.lastPhoto = result    // Sauvegarde le selfie en local
      this.sendNotification("EXT_SELFIES-RESULT", result) // Envoi la notif pour EXT-SSender
      this.closeDisplayer()
    }

Dans cette partie, j’ai rajouté à SendIcon :

this.sendSocketNotification("printResult", payload)

Mon node helper reçoit cette notification et exécutera printResult  function (payload) {}

Est ce un bon début ?

@sdetweil thanks for your intention 🙏🏼

[Alexandre-Venditti69]

@sdetweil I read the print.js library, it is of substantial size, does such a volume remain “compatible” with a simple raspberry?

[sdetweil]

@Alexandre-Venditti69 no clue… raspberry pi 3 has 1 gig or memory and pi4 can have up to 8gig.

sorry, I have no idea.
I would have thought u could print directly from the browser, and not have to go to the helper.

never tried printing
