Props

IMPORTANT: This package contains the props of https://avidofood.github.io/vue-instagram-cropper as well. Please have a check!

Props values

• showCropper (default: true, type: Boolean)

Perfect to hide the cropper, but still shows the selected images. Usefull, when you want to show something else.

• items (default: [], type: Array)

Contains all your pictures you want to contain. Important, they must be valid URLs. Visit the demo page to have a look.

• mimeType (default: image/jpeg, type: String)

• compression (default: 0.8, type: Number)

• selectionText (default: Chosen Images, type: String)

• selectionTextClass (default: '', type: String)

• itemsLimit (default: 4, type: Number)

Events

IMPORTANT: Same as for props, this package contains the events of https://avidofood.github.io/vue-instagram-cropper as well. Please have a check!

• choose-file-button: Emitted only when the Choose-File-Button was used.
• set-view: Emitted when the view was changed
• limit-reached: Emitted when the limit of itemsLimit was reached
• has-changed: Emitted when images are added, moved, zoomed in/out or the order changed.
• thumbnail-error(index): Emitted when thumbnail is not loaded.

Methods

You need to set ref=cropgram to the HTML tag <crop-gram>. After that you can call all methods like this this.$refs.cropgram.save().

• save(): Results a promise with an array of objects. Contains url or blob as a result. Here is an example how you can send this to your backend:

createFormData() {
   const result = await this.$refs.cropgram.save()

   const data = new FormData();
   //list of your pics
   result.forEach((picture, index) => {
         data.append(`media[${index}]`, picture.url || picture.blob);
   });
   return data;
},

• getCurrentCropperThumbnail(): Get's thumbnail of the current view
• chooseFile(): Choose a file
• setView(id): Sets a view with index
• addNewUrl(url): Sets an image via URL

TODO

I have only limited time to develop this package further. It would mean a lot to me, if you would help me to improve it step by step. This package contains my cropper package that also has a todo list. Have a look: vue-instagram-cropper and here is a small list, what is still missing for this package:

• If you want to use the slot in vue-instagram-cropper, we need to develiver the content there.
• If you have multiple images and you remove one, you will see in a tiny fraction the placeholder text.
• We need to lock the image aspect ratio. For that we need to add a the prop forceAspect but for vue-instagram-cropper.
• Do we need private methods like in vue-instagram-cropper?
