📦 Laravel Cropper (Takeone)

A professional, multi-instance image cropping component for Laravel built on top of Cropme. This package allows you to easily add image upload, cropping, and deletion functionality with support for circular and rectangular viewports.

🛠 1. Installation

Add Repository

Add the following to your main project's composer.json file to allow Composer to find your package:

JSON

"repositories": [
    {
        "type": "vcs",
        "url": "https://git.innovator.bh/ghassan/laravel-image-cropper"
    }
],

Require Package

Run the following command in your terminal:

BASH

composer require takeone/cropper

Setup Storage

The package saves images to the public disk. Link it to your project:

BASH

php artisan storage:link

🚀 2. Usage

Layout Setup

Ensure your main layout file (e.g., resources/views/layouts/app.blade.php) includes Bootstrap 5, jQuery, and the @stack('modals') directive.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.3.0/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
    @yield('content')

    <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.3.0/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js"></script>

    @stack('modals')
</body>
</html>

Adding the Component

Each instance of the cropper requires a unique ID.

Profile Picture (Circle)

html

<x-takeone-cropper 
    id="avatar" 
    width="300" 
    height="300" 
    shape="circle" 
    folder="profiles" 
    filename="user_1_avatar" 
/>

Banner Image (Rectangle)

html

<x-takeone-cropper 
    id="banner" 
    width="600" 
    height="200" 
    shape="square" 
    folder="banners" 
    filename="homepage_hero" 
/>

⚙️ 3. Attributes Reference

Attribute	Default	Description
`id`	Required	A unique string to identify the instance.
`width`	`300`	Width of the cropping area (pixels).
`height`	`300`	Height of the cropping area (pixels).
`shape`	`circle`	Use `circle` for rounds or `square` for rectangle.
`folder`	`uploads`	Destination folder inside `storage/app/public/`.
`filename`	`cropped_{time}`	The name of the saved image file (no extension).

🗑 4. Removing Images

The component includes a built-in Remove button (Trash Icon) next to the change button.

Click the Trash Icon.
Confirm the deletion in the browser alert.
The package will delete the file from storage/app/public/{folder}/{filename}.
The page reloads automatically to refresh the view.

🛠 5. Troubleshooting

Modal doesn't appear?

Verify that @stack('modals') is placed at the very bottom of your HTML, after Bootstrap's JS.

Image doesn't show after upload?

Ensure you ran php artisan storage:link.
Verify the file exists in public/storage/{folder}/.

Buttons do nothing?

Check the browser console (F12) for jQuery is not defined or bootstrap is not defined.
