Thoughts and plans about 1.0

[Norserium]

This issue is created to discuss new changes, include breaking changes in the new version. Feel free to discuss about the planned changes.

Breaking changes:

1. Move the styles to independent .css file. It will require to add <link href="/path/to/vue-advanced-cropper.css" rel="stylesheet"> to your code, but make this process more clearer.
2. Rename classname, backgroundClassname, imageClassname, linesClassnames and classnames to class, backgroundClass, imageClass, linesClasses and classes respectively.
3. Rename restrictions prop to sizeRestrictionsAlgorithm.
4. Set the pixels restrictions by default instead of the percents restrictions.
5. Change the list of available image restrictions to fill-area, fit-area, stencil and none.
6. Move algorithms in the external package.

Maybe add muilticrop functions?

[Norserium]

@Atluss, what do you mean by "multicrop"?

[Atluss]

Crop multiple areas.

[Norserium]

@Atluss could you provide the example of such cropper? I can't imagine any use cases where it would be needed.

[Atluss]

For example to crop several faces on photo. In my case i use two libraries for it.

[Norserium]

@Atluss, what's libraries? I would prefer to implement this task by creating multistep cropper, so I would be glad to see the screenshots, video of your approach.

[Atluss]

First library vue-advanced-cropper for single crop image, second vue-moveable for multicrop(but this library use react dependencies). For example on this screenshot, selected regions of image for OCR scans. screenshot
Second example documents scans for mapping custom "region for interest" screenshot

@Atluss, thank you. I understand your use-case now. But it's pretty hard to save the all current features and implement this feature at the same time.

[Atluss]

Ok, i understand:) if there are more ideas I will write about it.

[Norserium]

@Atluss, thank you for understanding!

Yes, Indeed multi-cropping is the biggest feature and No one is providing it with Zoom, rotate feature, some libraries have multi-cropping like JCrop but they do not have zoom feature in it, Please see multiple cropping examples below, one can crop multiple area at a time

[Norserium]

@Utsav-upadhyay, hello!

The most right approach is the creating the independent library to solve this task. This library can't support this feature due its concept and design right now. There is the discussion about this feature.

But anyway, did you encounter some croppers (proprietary perhaps) that implements the multi-crop in the right way (with zoom, rotate and etc.)? I want to see how it should behave.

Thanks for the JCrop example, by the way. They made multi-crop pretty nice.
