React component performing crop, border detection, perspective correction and simple image filters over a provided image 📲 📸
npm install react-perspective-cropper> React component performing border detection, perspective correction and simple image filters over a provided image 📲 📸
 
react-perspective-cropper doesn't, yet, do live borders recognition like some famous mobile apps.
Though it exports a main
You must pass an img through the src prop otherwise the component won't be rendered. Using its ref you have:
- a done async method that you can call and it will return the cropped and filtered image and you have the option to also show a preview of the edited image!
- a backToCrop method to use only if you requested for a preview in the done.
If you have special needs, please open a issue and we'll discuss it there!
``bash`
npm i react-perspective-cropper
or
`bash`
yarn add react-perspective-cropper
`typescript`
export interface CropperProps {
image: string | File
onDragStop: () => void
onChange: () => void
cropperRef: React.ElementRef
pointSize: number
lineWidth: number
pointBgColor: string
pointBorder: string // css border property value
lineColor: string
maxWidth: number
maxHeight: number
openCvPath: string
}
`jsx
import React from 'react'
import Cropper from 'react-perspective-cropper'
const App = () => {
const [cropState, setCropState] = useState()
const [img, setImg] = useState()
const [inputKey, setInputKey] = useState(0)
const cropperRef = useRef()
const onDragStop = useCallback((s) => setCropState(s), [])
const onChange = useCallback((s) => setCropState(s), [])
const doSomething = async () => {
console.log(cropState)
try {
const res = await cropperRef.current.done({ preview: true })
console.log(res)
} catch (e) {
console.log('error', e)
}
}
const onImgSelection = async (e) => {
if (e.target.files && e.target.files.length > 0) {
// it can also be a http or base64 string for example
setImg(e.target.files[0])
}
}
return (
image={img}
onChange={onChange}
onDragStop={onDragStop}
/>
key={inputKey}
onChange={onImgSelection}
accept='image/*'
/>
)
}

This cropper uses OpenCV for border recognition, perspective transformation and b&w thresholding. In order to use it, I've created this other handy wrapper around it: opencv-react
If you're already using it or if you're importing OpenCV manually in a different way, this lib got you covered as long as you provide the OpenCV instance in window.cv and the component isn't rendered before OpenCV finished loading.
So, be careful.
The openCV library is really big (approx. 1mb for the entire js file).
Now, opencv-react uses the document.createElement('script') browser function to inject this script and that's equal to writing in your html page. The parsing of the js file from the browser is done synchronously and we don't want this since it'd block the js thread.
The solution, which is already implemented in the opencv-react lib, is to use the keyword async in front of the script tag. This won't block the thread but still you gotta decide when to load it.
Basically I can imagine many, if not all, of you will render this component under certain conditions; well you need to know that doing so you'll start fetching and asynchronously parsing the library only when you'll render this cropper component.
If you wanna start fetching the lib as soon as your app is opened, then you want to wrap your entire app with the opencv-react provider and then render the component whenever you want. The cropper will surely start faster, straight away.
You might be asking yourself this question. Well, openCV or not, the answer doesn't differ based on the libs you need in your project.
Always fewer js devs import stuff from cdns nowadays (think about npm i`). If you notice the example folder the lib is loaded locally.
But this lib doesn't decide this on your behalf. Do what you think is best :)
It would be nice to have a react-doc-scan component which uses a webcam featuring live borders recognition.
Huge thanks to ngx-document-scanner which served me quite some openCV and canvas code to use.
