Cropper UI (iOS)

Usage (for TS demo, please see the demo folder)

To use the image cropping module you must first require it.

var ImageCropper = require("nativescript-imagecropper").ImageCropper;

How to get the image source, from nativescript-camera plugin

var camera = require("nativescript-camera");

// You might want to request camera permissions first
// check demo folder for sample implementation

camera.takePicture({width:300,height:300,keepAspectRatio:true})
  .then((imageAsset) => {
      let source = new imageSource.ImageSource();
      source.fromAsset(imageAsset).then((source) => {
        // now you have the image source    
        // pass it to the cropper   
        // recommend using setTimeout like this
        setTimeout(() => {
          // on iOS we want a timeout of 1second as it takes time before
          // the imageSource is ready to be read by the plugin
        }, isAndroid ? 0 : 1000);             
      });
  }).catch((err) => {
      console.log("Error -> " + err.message);
  });

Methods

show(ImageSource): Returns a cropped ImageSource

var imageCropper = new ImageCropper();
imageCropper.show(imageSource).then((args) => {
  console.dir(args);
  if(args.image !== null){
    imageView.imageSource = args.image;
  }
})
.catch(function(e){
  console.dir(e);
});

show(ImageSource,Options): Returns a cropped and resized ImageSource

var imageCropper = new ImageCropper();
imageCropper.show(imageSource,{width:300,height:300}).then((args) => {
  console.dir(args);
  if(args.image !== null){
    imageView.imageSource = args.image;
  }
})
.catch(function(e){
  console.dir(e);
});

Options

Option	Type	Description

Additional notes for Android

You can override library colors just specifying colors with the same names in your colors.xml file. For example:

<color name="ucrop_color_toolbar">#000000</color>

This will make toolbar color black if specified inside your App_Resources/Android/values/colors.xml file.

Android styles to customize the cropper activity/styles

Bonus: Snippet for using with nativescript-imagepicker 6.x

const context = imagepickerModule.create({
    mode: 'single' // allow choosing single image
});
context
    .authorize()
    .then(function() {
        return context.present();
    })
    .then(function(selection) {
        selection.forEach(function(selected) {
            selected.getImageAsync(source => {
              if (source) {
                const selectedImgSource = imageSource.fromNativeSource(source);
                imageCropper
                    .show(selectedImgSource, { width: 500, height: 500 })
                    .then(args => {
                        if (args.image !== null) {
                          // Use args.image
                        }
                    })
                    .catch(function(e) {
                        console.log(e);
                    });
              }
            });
        });
    })
    .catch(function(e) {
        console.log(e);
    });
