Setting up Doka Image Editor with Dropzone
For a quick start use the Dropzone example project included in the product package as a guideline.
To set up the editor with Dropzone we use the useEditorWithDropzone
plugin which is included in the product package.
Before continuing it's highly recommended to read the JavaScript installation guide as it clarifies important internal functionality of the image editor.
Default implementation example
In the default example below we'll use the openDefaultEditor
method to quickly create an image editor.
This creates a "default" editor that has all available plugins loaded and comes preset with all plugin default options and English locale. Each of these settings can be adjusted freely.

<!-- Doka Image Editor styles -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./doka/doka.css" />
<!-- Dropzone field -->
<div class="dropzone" id="dokaDropzone"></div>
<!-- Dropzone scripts -->

<!-- Doka Image Editor plugin -->
<script src="./useEditorWithDropzone-iife.js"></script>
<script type="module">
// import Doka Image Editor functionality
import { openDefaultEditor } from './doka/doka.js';
// Create a Dropzone
Dropzone.options.dokaDropzone = useEditorWithDropzone(
// Method used to create the editor
openDefaultEditor,
// The editor options
{
imageCropAspectRatio: 1,
},
// Dropzone options
{
url: '/post',
addRemoveLinks: true,
}
);
</script>
Advanced implementation example
In this example we'll create a custom editor, using a custom set of plugins, locale, and available options.
While this example is a lot more verbose it does allow us to create a more optimal editor package. The build process will tree-shake unused functionality resulting in a smaller build target.

Next steps
With the editor set up, we can continue to configure the editor to our liking by adjusting the available options exposed by the editor API
