A simple example which allows you to take a screenshot and place it as an image on the page (also you can download it or use differently, see examples section above).

import React, { createRef, useState } from 'react'
import { useScreenshot } from 'use-react-screenshot'

export default () => {
  const ref = createRef(null)
  const [image, takeScreenshot] = useScreenshot()
  const getImage = () => takeScreenshot(ref.current)
  return (
    <div>
      <div>
        <button style={{ marginBottom: '10px' }} onClick={getImage}>
          Take screenshot
        </button>
      </div>
      <img width={width} src={image} alt={'Screenshot'} />
      <div ref={ref}>
        <h1>use-react-screenshot</h1>
        <p>
