sharp package doesn't work with canvas nodejs

const { createCanvas, loadImage } = require('canvas')
const sharp = require("sharp");

This is my code.

  throw new Error(help.join('\n'));
  ^

Error:
Something went wrong installing the "sharp" module

The specified procedure could not be found.
\\?\C:\Users\Thaddea\Documents\ZLI\EDITS\js\fumo\node_modules\sharp\build\Release\sharp-win32-x64.node

Possible solutions:
- Install with the --verbose flag and look for errors: "npm install --ignore-scripts=false --verbose sharp"
- Install for the current runtime: "npm install --platform=win32 --arch=x64 sharp"
- Consult the installation documentation: https://sharp.pixelplumbing.com/install

The error I'm getting.

I tried:

npm install --ignore-scripts=false --verbose sharp

npm install --platform=win32 --arch=x64 sharp

Reinstalling sharp, rebuilding sharp via npm rebuild sharp --update-binary, reinstalling canvas, rebuilding canvas via npm rebuild canvas --update-binary

Any help?

Solution

On Windows, you cannot use both sharp and canvas and there is no workaround.

check this --> https://github.com/lovell/sharp/issues/3007

This Github Issue provides a better historical issue analysis. https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas/issues/930

TLDR;

As per the thread and recent events on the thread, This is still an issue on Windows. But a hack is to try

if (process.platform === 'win32') {
    require('canvas');
    require('sharp');
} else {
    require('sharp');
    require('canvas');
}

not sure if this works.
