How to render png to a html canvas in react.js?

To render a PNG image to an HTML canvas in React.js, you can follow these steps:

1. Import the PNG image file into your React component:

1

import image from './image.png';

1. Create a ref for the canvas element in your component:

1

const canvasRef = React.useRef();

1. In the component's useEffect hook, load the image onto the canvas once the component has mounted:

React.useEffect(() => {
  const canvas = canvasRef.current;
  const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
  
  const img = new Image();
  img.src = image;
  
  img.onload = () => {
    ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0);
  };
}, []);

1. Add the canvas element to your component's render method:

return (
  <canvas ref={canvasRef} width={500} height={500}></canvas>
);

Now, when your React component is rendered, the PNG image will be loaded onto the canvas element using the drawImage method of the canvas context.
