Symfony UX Cropper.js

Symfony UX Cropper.js is a Symfony bundle integrating the Cropper.js library in Symfony applications. It is part of the Symfony UX initiative.

Installation

Before you start, make sure you have Symfony UX configured in your app.

Then, install this bundle using Composer and Symfony Flex:

1

$ composer require symfony/ux-cropperjs

# Don't forget to install the JavaScript dependencies as well and compile
$ npm install --force
$ npm run watch

# or use yarn
$ yarn install --force
$ yarn watch

Also make sure you have at least version 3.0 of @symfony/stimulus-bridge in your package.json file.

Usage

To use Symfony UX Cropper.js, inject the CropperInterface service, create a Crop object, and use this object inside a standard form:

// ...
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
use Symfony\UX\Cropperjs\Form\CropperType;
use Symfony\UX\Cropperjs\Factory\CropperInterface;

class HomeController extends AbstractController
{
    /**
     * #[Route('/', name: 'app_homepage')]
     */
    public function index(CropperInterface $cropper, Request $request): Response
    {
        $crop = $cropper->createCrop('/server/path/to/the/image.jpg');
        $crop->setCroppedMaxSize(2000, 1500);

        $form = $this->createFormBuilder(['crop' => $crop])
            ->add('crop', CropperType::class, [
                'public_url' => '/public/url/to/the/image.jpg',
                'cropper_options' => [
                    'aspectRatio' => 2000 / 1500,
                ],
            ])
            ->getForm()
        ;

        $form->handleRequest($request);

        if ($form->isSubmitted() && $form->isValid()) {
            // Get the cropped image data (as a string)
            $crop->getCroppedImage();

            // Create a thumbnail of the cropped image (as a string)
            $crop->getCroppedThumbnail(200, 150);

            // ...
        }

        return $this->render('home/index.html.twig', [
            'form' => $form->createView(),
        ]);
    }
}

These cropper_options can be any the Cropper.js options.

Once created in PHP, a crop form is a normal form, meaning you can display it using Twig as you would normally with any form:

1
{{ form(form) }}

Extend the default behavior

Symfony UX Cropper.js allows you to extend its default behavior using a custom Stimulus controller:

// mycropper_controller.js

import { Controller } from '@hotwired/stimulus';

export default class extends Controller {
    connect() {
        this.element.addEventListener('cropperjs:pre-connect', this._onPreConnect);
        this.element.addEventListener('cropperjs:connect', this._onConnect);
    }

    disconnect() {
        // You should always remove listeners when the controller is disconnected to avoid side effects
        this.element.removeEventListener('cropperjs:pre-connect', this._onConnect);
        this.element.removeEventListener('cropperjs:connect', this._onConnect);
    }

    _onPreConnect(event) {
        // The cropper has not yet been created and options can be modified
        console.log(event.detail.options);
        console.log(event.detail.img);
    }

    _onConnect(event) {
        // The cropper was just created and you can access details from the event
        console.log(event.detail.cropper);
        console.log(event.detail.options);
        console.log(event.detail.img);

        // For instance you can listen to additional events
        event.detail.img.addEventListener('cropend', function () {
            // ...
        });
    }
}

Then in your form, add your controller as an HTML attribute:

$form = $this->createFormBuilder(['crop' => $crop])
    ->add('crop', CropperType::class, [
        'public_url' => '/public/url/to/the/image.jpg',
        'cropper_options' => [
            'aspectRatio' => 2000 / 1800,
        ],
        'attr' => ['data-controller' => 'mycropper'],
    ])
    ->getForm()
;
