The HTMLCanvasElement.width property is a positive integer reflecting the width HTML attribute of the <canvas> element interpreted in CSS pixels. When the attribute is not specified, or if it is set to an invalid value, like a negative, the default value of 300 is used.
This is one of the two properties, the other being HTMLCanvasElement.height, that controls the size of the canvas.
A number.
Given this <canvas> element:
html
<canvas id="canvas" width="300" height="300"></canvas>
You can get the width of the canvas with the following code:
js
const canvas = document.getElementById("canvas"); console.log(canvas.width); // 300
