Event 'selectionResize'

This event is triggered when the crop selection is resized.

You can attach a callback by either providing a callback function when initialising, or by attaching an event listener.

To attach the event listener when initialising, do:

$('#element').CropSelectJs({

  // Set the image
  imageSrc: 'path/to/image.jpg',

  // Set the selection resize event handler
  selectionResize: function(payload) {
    // Do something...
  }

});

Alternatively you can attach an event listener (which can be after initialisation) by:

$('#element').on('crop-select-js.selection.resize', function(payload) {
  // Do something...
});

Payload Object

The payload that is given on this event will have the structure:

{
  width,              // The width of the selection on screen
  height,             // The height of the selection on screen
  widthScaledToImage, // The width of the selection scaled to the image
  heightScaledToImage // The height of the selection scaled to the image
}

Event 'selectionMove'

This event is triggered when the crop selection is moved.

You can attach a callback by either providing a callback function when initialising, or by attaching an event listener.

  // Set the image
  imageSrc: 'path/to/image.jpg',

  // Set the selection move event handler
  selectionMove: function(payload) {
    // Do something...
  }

});

Alternatively you can attach an event listener (which can be after initialisation) by:

$('#element').on('crop-select-js.selection.move', function(payload) {
  // Do something...
});
