Which extension to choose for photo cropping for yii2?

Question

Yii

I installed yurkinx/yii2-image from github

<?php
                                                    $file=Yii::getAlias('@app/web/img/box3.jpg');
                                                    $image=Yii::$app->image->load($file);

                                                    echo   $image->resize(200,200)->rotate(30)->render();?>

... inserted, but a big black square with question marks pops up.

Answer 1

yurkinx/yii2-image is a great extension, and if you use Imagick instead of GD, then it's also optimal.
Maybe there is a term "cropping", I don't know it, but if we're talking about cropping a photo, then it's crop, not resize. Since the last one is a size change.
Well, the question is where do you use this code, at least you should add header("Content-Type: image/png");
But I do not think that rendering on the fly is the right idea, the server will grunt. It is better to use the extension not for rendering, but for creating thumbnails when uploading a photo. And then output using standard methods, a ready-made trimmed photo.

There are a lot of components, for example, here's a good option. https://github.com/himiklab/yii2-easy-thumbnail-im...
