cropSelectPresetOptions

A flat or a grouped array of crop presets.

An example of a flat list of crop aspect ratio presets.

[
    [undefined, 'Custom'],
    [1, 'Square'],
    [4 / 3, 'Landscape'],
    [3 / 4, 'Portrait'],
];

If we don't supply the 'Custom' crop options with value undefined we have to make sure we set the imageCropAspectRatio property to one of the values in the list otherwise the editor won't know which value to select.

An example of a grouped list of presets.

[
    [
        'Crop Aspect Ratios',
        [
            [undefined, 'Custom'],
            [1, 'Square'],
            [4 / 3, 'Landscape'],
            [3 / 4, 'Portrait'],
        ],
    ],
    [
        'Crop sizes',
        [
            [[180, 180], 'Profile Picture'],
            [[1200, 600], 'Header Image'],
            [[800, 400], 'Timeline Photo'],
        ],
    ],
];

As we could see in the previous code snippets we can describe a crop with [aspectRatio, 'label'] and a size preset with [[width, height], 'label'].

Doka will apply the aspectRatio value to the imageCropAspectRatio prop. When a size is selected it will apply the matching aspect ratio and apply the size to the imageTargetSize prop.

import { openEditor } from './doka.js';

openEditor({
    cropSelectPresetOptions: [
        [
            'Crop',
            [
                [undefined, 'Custom'],
                [1, 'Square'],
                [4 / 3, 'Landscape'],
                [3 / 4, 'Portrait'],
            ],
        ],
        [
            'Size',
            [
                [[180, 180], 'Profile Picture'],
                [[1200, 600], 'Header Image'],
                [[800, 400], 'Timeline Photo'],
            ],
        ],
    ],
});

cropWillRenderImageSelectionGuides

Set opacity to .25 to always render the image selection guides.

interactionFraction tweens from 0 to 1 when the user interacts with the editor UI this allows us to fade in and out the image selection guides.

import { openEditor } from './doka.js';

openEditor({
    cropWillRenderImageSelectionGuides: (interaction, interactionFraction) => {
        const isRotating = interaction === 'rotate';
        return {
            rows: isRotating ? 5 : 3,
            cols: isRotating ? 5 : 3,
            opacity: interactionFraction * 0.25,
        };
    },
});

cropEnableRotateMatchImageAspectRatio

When set to 'always' or 'custom' this will automatically rotate the crop rectangle with the image is the crop rectangle is fully zoomed out and centered.

Value Description
'never'
Don't rotate the crop when the image is rotated.
'custom'
Only rotate the crop with the image if the crop aspect ratio is set to custom imageCropAspectRatio === undefined
'always'
Rotate the crop rectangle with the image if the crop aspect ratio is custom or a rotated crop aspect ratio can be found in the preset list. For example 4:3 to 3:4.

In this example the crop will automatically switch between 4:3 and 3:4 when the image is rotated while fully zoomed out.

import { openEditor } from './doka.js';

openEditor({
    cropEnableRotateMatchImageAspectRatio: 'always',
    cropSelectPresetOptions: [
        [undefined, 'Custom'],
        [1, 'Square'],
        [4 / 3, 'Landscape'],
        [3 / 4, 'Portrait'],
    ],
});
