Vue.js image clipping components using Vue-Rx

vuejs-clipper

Vue.js image clipping components using Vue-Rx.

  • Add image clipping components to your Vue application in nothing flat.
  • Touch devices supported and fully responsive.

Notice

Before using the plugin & components, here's something you should know :

  • It's based on vue-rx.
  • Use vuejs-clipper plugin also add vue-rx plugin to vue.
  • Components are responsive base on width instead of height, see Component Layout.
  • You can clip your own images (local uploaded images or images served on your site), but you cannot clip a cross-origin image unless the image server set the CORS headers.
  • Components' input is an image URL, output is a canvas element, they only help you clip images to canvas, you need to handle other things like transform file input to image URL or transform output canvas to image by yourself.

Installation

NPM & ESM

install vuejs-clipper

$npm install vuejs-clipper --save

need css loader, ex: sass-loader, if you haven't installed :

$npm install -D sass-loader node-sass

(1) use vuejs-clipper plugin

Use vuejs-clipper plugin also add vue-rx plugin to Vue.

By default it will register all components to Vue global scope.

import Vue from 'vue'
import VuejsClipper from 'vuejs-clipper'
// install
Vue.use(VuejsClipper)

register some components to global with default component name

Vue.use(VuejsClipper, {
 components: {
    clipperBasic: true,
    clipperPreview: true
 }
})

with customized component name

Vue.use(VuejsClipper, {
 components: {
  clipperBasic: 'image-clipper-basic',
  clipperPreview: 'my-preview'
 }
})

not register any components, but with some plugin options

Vue.use(VuejsClipper, {
  components: null,
 parentPropName: 'myCustomerName'
  /*
   parentPropName:
    Add property to Vue instance to store `clipper-preview` list.
    You can change the property name
    default: '_imgPreviewLists'
  */
})

(2) separately import components

install vue-rx and it's peer dependency rxjs

$npm install --save vue-rx rx-js

use vue-rx

import Vue from 'vue'
import VueRx from 'vue-rx'
// install vue-rx
Vue.use(VueRx)

then import in your components (SFC)

import { clipperBasic, clipperPreview } from 'vuejs-clipper'

export default {
  components: {
    clipperBasic,
    clipperPreview
  }
}

Script

Include vuejs-clipper umd script after Vue.js.

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/vue@2.5.17/dist/vue.js"></script>
<script src="./dist/vuejs-clipper.umd.min.js"></script>
