Canvas ID to input text

[Monstamash]

I know I can float form elements ontop of the canvas, but I was looking to maybe use this plugin - https://github.com/goldfire/CanvasInput -  for input but to use it, I need the canvas ID

 

Does anyone know how to set this? Be default it appears a phaser game doesnt have canvas id?

I don't believe phaser gives the canvas an id, no, but you can get the canvas (see the Stage object) and add an id to it

this.game.stage.canvas.id = 'foobar';

but make sure that canvas exists first. IIRC, it won't if you're using WebGL rendering

Simple when you know how 

Thanks

Or even just:

this.game.canvas.id = 'blah';

This is a 3 year old post but for anyone looking to disable their mouse cursor on the canvas element this is what the solution was for me. I had my game setup without a pre-existing canvas so I had no id I could just easily GIVE one to the element so I could use it. Thanks!

You could also use CSS for this: "canvas { cursor: none; }".
