✨ Features

📸 Multi-instance Support - Use multiple croppers on the same page
🔄 Interactive Cropping - Zoom, rotate, and position images with ease
⭕ Shape Options - Support for circle and rectangle viewports
🎨 Bootstrap 5 Integration - Beautiful, responsive UI out of the box
💾 Automatic Storage - Images saved directly to Laravel's public disk
🗑️ Delete Functionality - Built-in remove button with confirmation
🚀 Lightweight - Uses Cropme.js library (minimal dependencies)

📋 Requirements

PHP >= 8.0
Laravel >= 11.0
Bootstrap 5.3+
jQuery 3.6+

🛠 1. Installation

Add Repository

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

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

Require Package

Run the following command in your terminal:

composer require takeone/cropper

Setup Storage

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

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)

<x-takeone-cropper 
    id="avatar" 
    width="300" 
    height="300" 
    shape="circle" 
    folder="avatars"
    filename="user_{{ auth()->id() }}"
/>

Banner Image (Rectangle)

<x-takeone-cropper 
    id="banner" 
    width="600" 
    height="200" 
    shape="square" 
    folder="banners"
    filename="banner_{{ time() }}"
/>

Displaying the Cropped Image

After uploading, access your image:

<img src="{{ asset('storage/avatars/user_1.png') }}" alt="Profile Picture" class="rounded-circle">

Custom Filenames with Timestamps

<x-takeone-cropper 
    id="user-avatar" 
    filename="user_{{ auth()->id() }}_{{ time() }}"
    width="200" 
    height="200" 
/>

⚙️ 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.
