Ngx Document Scanner
An Angular component for cropping and enhancing images of documents, for implementation on a mobile or desktop app.
It uses a WASM build of OpenCV to manipulate images, to achieve near-native performance.
Note that there are a few extra steps required to configure the component other than installing the package from npm.

Installation & Setup
install the package via npm
npm install ngx-document-scanner --save
the UI is based on @angular/material
, if you don't have it installed:
ng add @angular/material
choose 'yes' when prompted if you wish to add angular animations as it is needed for some of the components.
Configure OpenCV
copy the opencv.js files to your assets folder (or any other folder). you can build the files yourself (instructions on the OpenCV site), or download them from this package's repository. both opencv.js & opencv_js.wasm need to placed in the same folder.
import the package to your app.module
. you'll need to configure the location of the open cv files.
import {OpenCVConfig} from 'ngx-document-scanner';
import {NgxDocumentScannerModule} from 'ngx-document-scanner';
// set the location of the OpenCV files
const openCVConfig: OpenCVConfig = {
openCVDirPath: '/assets/opencv'
};
@NgModule({ imports:
[NgxDocumentScannerModule.forRoot(openCVConfig)],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }
Usage
add component to template and bind to inputs and outputs.
<ngx-doc-scanner
*ngIf="image"
[file]="image"
[config]="config">
(editResult)="editResult($event)"
(exitEditor)="exitEditor($event)"
(error)="onError($event)"
(processing)="editorState($event)"
</ngx-doc-scanner>
set configuration options. for example:
config: DocScannerConfig = {
editorBackgroundColor: '#fafafa',
buttonThemeColor: 'primary',
cropToolColor: '#ff4081',
cropToolShape: 'circle',
exportImageIcon: 'cloud_download'
};
