Usage (for TS demo, please see the demo folder)

To use the image cropping module you must first require it.

var ImageCropper = require("nativescript-imagecropper").ImageCropper;

How to get the image source, from nativescript-camera plugin

var camera = require("nativescript-camera");

// You might want to request camera permissions first
// check demo folder for sample implementation

camera.takePicture({width:300,height:300,keepAspectRatio:true})
  .then((imageAsset) => {
      let source = new imageSource.ImageSource();
      source.fromAsset(imageAsset).then((source) => {
        // now you have the image source    
        // pass it to the cropper                
      });
  }).catch((err) => {
      console.log("Error -> " + err.message);
  });

Methods

show(ImageSource): Returns a cropped ImageSource

var imageCropper = new ImageCropper();
imageCropper.show(imageSource).then((args) => {
  console.dir(args);
  if(args.image !== null){
    imageView.imageSource = args.image;
  }
})
.catch(function(e){
  console.dir(e);
});

show(ImageSource,Options): Returns a cropped and resized ImageSource

var imageCropper = new ImageCropper();
imageCropper.show(imageSource,{width:300,height:300}).then((args) => {
  console.dir(args);
  if(args.image !== null){
    imageView.imageSource = args.image;
  }
})
.catch(function(e){
  console.dir(e);
});

Options

Option	Type	Description
width	number	The width of the image you would like returned.
height	number	The height of the image you would like returned.
lockSquare	boolean	Pass this as true, to lock square aspect ratio on iOS, on android, this option doesn't make any difference.

Additional notes for Android

You can override library colors just specifying colors with the same names in your colors.xml file. For example:

<color name="ucrop_color_toolbar">#000000</color>

This will make toolbar color black if specified inside your App_Resources/Android/values/colors.xml file.

(thanks to @chrispoket99 for mentioning this)
