I was trying to crop videos with cropper.js, but from what I understand that it is impossible and only works for photos. I've looked everywhere for resources to do such, but I couldn't find anything. If you don't know what I am talking about I would like something like this https://codesandbox.io/s/react-easy-crop-for-videos-lfhme but uses JavaScript instead of React. The reason I don't want to switch to a frontend framework is because I am using Django for my backend, and am not comfortable with switching to APIs, and using React or Vue, since I am really far into my project. I also want to avoid using a hybrid architecture if possible. If anyone knows of any libraries or repositories I can check out that might help me that would be much appreciated.
Just in case I can use videos in cropper.js here is my source code.
// file-box is the id of the div element that will store our cropping file preview
const filebox = document.getElementById('file-box')
// crop-btn is the id of button that will trigger the event of change original file with cropped file.
const crop_btn = document.getElementById('crop-btn')
// id_file is the id of the input tag where we will upload the file
const input = document.getElementById('id_file')
// When user uploads the file this event will get triggered
input.addEventListener('change', ()=>{
// Getting file file object from the input variable
const img_data = input.files[0]
// createObjectURL() static method creates a DOMString containing a URL representing the object given in the parameter.
// The new object URL represents the specified File object or Blob object.
const url = URL.createObjectURL(img_data)
// Creating a file tag inside filebox which will hold the cropping view file(uploaded file) to it using the url created before.
filebox.innerHTML = `<img src="${url}" id="file" style="width:100%;">`
// Storing that cropping view file in a variable
const file = document.getElementById('file')
// Displaying the file box
document.getElementById('file-box').style.display = 'block'
// Displaying the Crop buttton
document.getElementById('crop-btn').style.display = 'block'
// Hiding the Post button
document.getElementById('confirm-btn').style.display = 'none'
// Creating a croper object with the cropping view file
// The new Cropper() method will do all the magic and diplay the cropping view and adding cropping functionality on the website
// For more settings, check out their official documentation at https://github.com/fengyuanchen/cropperjs
const cropper = new Cropper(file, {
autoCropArea: 1,
aspectRatio: 1/1,
viewMode: 1,
scalable: false,
zoomable: false,
movable: false,
minCropBoxWidth: 200,
minCropBoxHeight: 200,
})
// When crop button is clicked this event will get triggered
crop_btn.addEventListener('click', ()=>{
// This method coverts the selected cropped file on the cropper canvas into a blob object
cropper.getCroppedCanvas().toBlob((blob)=>{
// Gets the original file data
let fileInputElement = document.getElementById('id_file');
// Make a new cropped file file using that blob object, file_data.name will make the new file name same as original file
let file = new File([blob], img_data.name,{type:"file/*", lastModified:new Date().getTime()});
// Create a new container
let container = new DataTransfer();
// Add the cropped file file to the container
container.items.add(file);
// Replace the original file file with the new cropped file file
fileInputElement.files = container.files;
// Hide the cropper box
document.getElementById('file-box').style.display = 'none'
// Hide the crop button
document.getElementById('crop-btn').style.display = 'none'
// Display the Post button
document.getElementById('confirm-btn').style.display = 'block'
});
});
});
from Is there any way to crop videos in JavaScript with a crop box, without using React or Vue?
