Got this from a potential client:

To be on the safe side I'll repeat what I wrote on Discord; The thing is we're working on a SaaS project based partially on Statamic, and during usertesting we noticed a lot of the users had problems with images. They do not have a proper image editor installed and finds it difficult to use online services for image cropping. So we would like to investigate the possibility of including cropping as a functionality in Statamic.

The only thing we actually need is basic cropping, and if the crop could also expand the image with a predefined background color if needed it would be a bonus. So you could make a portrait floor plan to landscape without cropping top/bottom as an example. I've been looking at https://pqina.nl/doka/ and found it quite interesting, but I'm not sure if it's a dead-end.

Would be super great if we could hook into the asset "panel".

A workaround for now could be to create it as a fieldtype, and place it in the asset blueprint.

edalzell commented 4 years ago

Yup, looking into that now.

@jasonvarga how can I reference another field from my fieldtype? I'll need to access the asset.

jasonvarga commented 4 years ago

$this->field()->parent() should be the Asset

in JS? I'll need it on the front end to init the cropping.

Pass along whatever you need from php to js by preloading meta data. https://statamic.dev/extending/fieldtypes#meta-data

I have a use case for this: control the private/public permission for a file on our CDN, on a file-by-file basis.
