Usage of the cropper in Composition API through a composable/util

@GalacticHypernova, the using of mixins for the cropper sounds like an unusual idea. Could you provide the code?

[GalacticHypernova]

Of course. This is the code that was used in the v2.x application (located in ~/mixins, moved to ~/composables in the Nuxt 3.x application):

import { Cropper } from 'vue-advanced-cropper'

export default {
  components: {
    Cropper
  },
  data: () => ({
    isDragOver: false,
    selectedImage: false,
    imgErr: '',
    imgUrl: '',
    croppedImg: '',
    cropDone: false
  }),
  methods: {
    dragover (e) {
      this.isDragOver = true
    },
    dragFinish () {
      this.isDragOver = false
    },
    preview (e) {
      this.imgErr = ''
      const file = e.target.files[0]
      if (file) {
        this.cropDone = false
        this.selectedImage = true
        this.imgUrl = URL.createObjectURL(file)
      }
    },
    editCrop () {
      this.cropDone = false
    },
    cropEnd (e) {
      const { canvas } = e
      const dataURL = canvas.toDataURL('image/webp')
      this.croppedImg = dataURL
    },
    saveCrop () {
      this.$refs.thumbnailImg.src = this.croppedImg
      this.cropDone = true
    },
    cancelImage () {
      this.selectedImage = false
      this.imgUrl = ''
      this.croppedImg = ''
    },
    dropFile (e) {
      this.isDragOver = false
      const file = e.dataTransfer.files[0]
      if (file) {
        this.cropDone = false
        this.selectedImage = true
        this.imgUrl = URL.createObjectURL(file)
      }
    }
  }
}

The reason it's in a mixin is because it's being used throughout multiple pages, so in stead of adding it to all pages that use it, it was placed in mixins in stead, and then all there was to do was just importing it.

[Norserium]

@GalacticHypernova, why do you use the mixin instead of creating the wrapper for Cropper component?

[GalacticHypernova]

Hey @Norserium , just pinging you in case you didn't see my response as I had accidentally predicted the question before you actually asked it (at least on my screen).

[Norserium]

@GalacticHypernova, well, but if you create the wrapper component you get the opportunity to reuse it on multiple pages. It look like more idiomatic approach.

[Norserium]

Anyway, you can easily rewrite your mixin to a composable function. There is nothing specific to this library.

That's the result of artificial intelligence work. I didn't check it, but it looks right.

import { ref } from 'vue';

export function useCropper() {
    const isDragOver = ref(false);
    const selectedImage = ref(false);
    const imgErr = ref('');
    const imgUrl = ref('');
    const croppedImg = ref('');
    const cropDone = ref(false);

    const dragover = () => {
      isDragOver.value = true;
    };

    const dragFinish = () => {
      isDragOver.value = false;
    };

    const preview = (e) => {
      imgErr.value = '';
      const file = e.target.files[0];
      if (file) {
        cropDone.value = false;
        selectedImage.value = true;
        imgUrl.value = URL.createObjectURL(file);
      }
    };

    const editCrop = () => {
      cropDone.value = false;
    };

    const cropEnd = (e) => {
      const { canvas } = e;
      const dataURL = canvas.toDataURL('image/webp');
      croppedImg.value = dataURL;
    };

    const saveCrop = () => {
      // Assuming that you have a ref called 'thumbnailImg' for the image element.
      thumbnailImg.value.src = croppedImg.value;
      cropDone.value = true;
    };

    const cancelImage = () => {
      selectedImage.value = false;
      imgUrl.value = '';
      croppedImg.value = '';
    };

    const dropFile = (e) => {
      isDragOver.value = false;
      const file = e.dataTransfer.files[0];
      if (file) {
        cropDone.value = false;
        selectedImage.value = true;
        imgUrl.value = URL.createObjectURL(file);
      }
    };

    return {
      isDragOver,
      selectedImage,
      imgErr,
      imgUrl,
      croppedImg,
      cropDone,
      dragover,
      dragFinish,
      preview,
      editCrop,
      cropEnd,
      saveCrop,
      cancelImage,
      dropFile,
    };
};

Thanks, I will try that. I know using it as a component would probably be best but there are a couple of differences in the use cases in terms of elements and such so I wanted to get it working first, and later I could probably rewrite it once I figure out the best way to implement it.

[GalacticHypernova]

Would I not need to import the Cropper as well?
Or is that done from the places where I actually use the cropper?

[GalacticHypernova]

I'll close this for now, to make my testing, and if anything I'll reopen. Thanks for the help!

@GalacticHypernova, that's it.

[GalacticHypernova]

Thank you!

[Norserium]

@GalacticHypernova, you are welcome!
