OctoberCMS: Cropping the original image on upload

Question

Given the following code:

$car= new Car();
$car->name = Input::get('name');
$car->photo = Input::file('photo');
$car->save();

I need to crop the photo (with offset) before saving it. I tried using the ImageResizer plugin but couldn't figure out how to integrate its API with the above code.

Answer 1

Yes you can resize image using that plugin but you even don't need it as internally it also use OctoberCMS built-in Resize function.

First you need to save it on disk and then resize it in-place.

for this you can use October Cms's in-built Resizer https://octobercms.com/docs/api/october/rain/database/attach/resizer

You can also crop image if you need just read https://octobercms.com/docs/api/october/rain/database/attach/resizer#crop doc and you are good to go. There are lot more options if you need.

<?php namespace hardiksatasiya/...somethig;

use October\Rain\Database\Attach\Resizer;

// ...

$car= new Car();
$car->name = Input::get('name');
$car->photo = Input::file('photo');
$car->save();

// code to resize image
$width = 100;
$height = 100;
$options = []; // or ['mode' => 'crop']

Resizer::open($car->photo->getLocalPath()) // create from real path
          ->resize($width, $height, $options)
          ->save($car->photo->getLocalPath());

This code will open saved Image, Resize it and save it in same place.

If You get any problem please comment.
