how to save pixijs content as image

Let's say I have a pixijs app like this https://codesandbox.io/s/o3qfi

I need to save the contents rendered by pixijs in the canvas as a screenshot.

I tried accessing the canvas like

app.renderer.view.toDataURL("image/png", 1.0)

and also through

document.getElementsByTagName('canvas')[0].toDataURL("image/png", 1.0)

However both of them returns an empty transparent image, instead of the canvas content rendered by pixijs

You'll need to extract it from the renderer.

For example, if you want to print the stage:

let blob = app.renderer.plugins.extract.image(app.stage).src;
window.location.href = blob.replace("image/png", "image/octet-stream");

Will download the following image:
