CanvasRenderingContext2D: canvas property
Baseline
Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
The CanvasRenderingContext2D.canvas property, part of the
Canvas API, is a read-only reference to the
HTMLCanvasElement object that is associated with a given context. It
might be null if there is no associated <canvas> element.
Value
A HTMLCanvasElement object.
Examples
Given this <canvas> element:
html
<canvas id="canvas"></canvas>
… you can get a reference to the canvas element within the
CanvasRenderingContext2D by using the canvas property:
js
const canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
ctx.canvas; // HTMLCanvasElement
