README

A reusable Laravel Blade component for cropping images with custom aspect ratio, rotation, zoom, drag, and base64 output.

✅ Requirements

• PHP >= 8.1
• Laravel 10 or 11
• Bootstrap 5 (included in your layout or via CDN)

🔧 Installation

Install the package via Composer:

composer require mynulleo/laravel-image-cropper

📤 Publish Assets

Run the following command to publish the required assets (CSS & JS):

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=image-cropper-assets

Assets will be published to:

public/vendor/image-cropper/

🧩 Usage

Use the component in your Blade form:

<form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    @csrf

    <x-image-cropper 
        input-id="uploadImage" 
        preview-id="previewImage"
        ratio="816/484" 
        output-name="cropped_image" 
    />

    <!-- File input -->
    <input type="file" id="uploadImage" accept="image/*">

    <!-- Image preview -->
    <img id="previewImage" style="max-width: 200px;" />

    <button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>

⚙ Features

• Modal-based image cropping
• Fixed or custom aspect ratio (e.g., 816/484)
• Zoom, rotate, drag, flip, reset
• Output: base64-encoded image
• Preview support
• Responsive modal
• Automatically clears input on crop/cancel
• Built with cropperjs

📂 Asset Folder Structure

After publishing:

public/
└── vendor/
    └── image-cropper/
        ├── cropper.css
        └── cropper.js

📦 Vite/Webpack Users (optional)

If you use a bundler and want to avoid publishing to public/, you can import the assets directly from:

resources/assets/cropper.css
resources/assets/cropper.js

Then include them in your app.css and app.js builds.

📌 Notes

• Requires Bootstrap 5 (you can include from CDN or your compiled CSS)
• The output-name field will be the name of the hidden input that stores the base64 value
• You can change modal text/button icons by editing the component view
• Image validation (mime, size, dimension) happens before cropper is shown

🧠 Backend Validation Example (optional)

$request->validate([
    'cropped_image' => 'required|string', // base64 string
]);
