Solution 2

You can do that with this library. https://github.com/tsayen/dom-to-image

import domtoimage from 'dom-to-image';
...
domtoimage.toJpeg(document.getElementById("wrapperContainer"), { bgcolor: '#2d3138', quality: 0.95 })
    .then((dataURI) => {
        ...
    }).catch((error) => {
        ...
    });

can you explain what these lines are for : if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("MSIE ") > 0 || navigator.userAgent.match(/Trident.*rv\:11\./))

@NoushadM Looks to check if it's an IE browser, and then handling it differently. At the time of writing the libraries may have been different but as far as I can tell today html2canvas supports IE and jsPDF has IE polyfills that can be loaded if needed.
