Manual Install
If you already have a project and want to add Cropper.Blazor to it, either from a default template or a working application.
Install the package
Find the package through NuGet Package Manager or install it with following command:
dotnet add package Cropper.Blazor
Add Imports
After the package is added, you need to add the following in your _Imports.razor
@using Cropper.Blazor.Components
Add font and style references
Add the following to your HTML head section, it's either index.html or _Layout.cshtml/_Host.cshtml depending on whether you're running WebAssembly/MAUI or Server.
<link href="_content /Cropper.Blazor/cropper.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
Add script reference
In the same file but located in the end of it add the Cropper.Blazor js file, it should be in the same location as the default blazor script.
<script src="_content/Cropper.Blazor/cropper.min.js"></script>
Register Services
Add the following in Program.cs
You can change the path to the cropperJSInterop.min.js module if for some reason
it is located outside the server root folder using the examples below to override the internal or full global cropperJSInterop.min.js module path.
Actions are usually required when an application is deployed to an IIS Web Server.
using Cropper.Blazor.Extensions; builder.Services.AddCropper();
Also for server-side (Blazor Server or MVC with Blazor Server) you need add configuration SignalR, increase MaximumReceiveMessageSize of a single incoming hub message (default is 32KB) and map SignalR to your path. However, if your images are too large, the MaximumReceiveMessageSize variable should be increased to the desired value.
using Cropper.Blazor.Extensions; builder.Services.AddServerSideBlazor() .AddHubOptions(options => { options.MaximumReceiveMessageSize = 32 * 1024 * 100; }); app.MapBlazorHub();
Resolve MAUI project dependency conflicts
Run following command and rebuilt the project. If that doesn't help, try the step below about override package versions.
dotnet workload update
Overriding package versions
When resolving MAUI project dependency conflicts, you can override an individual package version by using the VersionOverride property on a <PackageReference /> item.
<PackageReference Include="Package name" VersionOverride="New version package" />
Add Components
Add the following components to your MainLayout.razor
@using Cropper.Blazor.Components <CropperComponent Class="cropper-example" Src="cropperblazor.png" Options="new Cropper.Blazor.Models.Options()" /> <style> .cropper-example { max-height: 300px; width: 100%; } style>
