How to crop image on upload with Rails, Carrierwave and Minimagick?

Question

I have read:

• Undefined Method crop! Using Carrierwave with MiniMagick on rails 3.1.3
• Carrierwave Cropping
• http://pastebin.com/ue4mVbC8

And so I tried:

# encoding: utf-8

class ProjectPictureUploader < CarrierWave::Uploader::Base
  include CarrierWave::MiniMagick

  storage :file
  def store_dir
    "uploads/#{model.class.to_s.underscore}/#{mounted_as}/#{model.id}"
  end

  version :thumb do
    process :cropper
    # process :crop
    process resize_to_fit: [200, 200]
  end

  def cropper
    manipulate! do |img| 
      # if model.crop_x.present?
        image = MiniMagick::Image.open(current_path)
        crop_w = (image[:width] * 0.8).to_i
        crop_y = (image[:height] * 0.8).to_i
        crop_x = (image[:width] * 0.1).to_i
        crop_y = (image[:height] * 0.1).to_i
      # end
      img = img.crop "#{crop_x}x#{crop_y}+#{crop_w}+#{crop_h}"
      img
    end 
  end

  def crop
    if model.crop_x.present?
      resize_to_limit(700, 700)

      manipulate! do |img|
        x = model.crop_x
        y = model.crop_y
        w = model.crop_w
        h = model.crop_h

        w << 'x' << h << '+' << x << '+' << y

        img.crop(w)
        img
      end
    end
  end

end

Then I used cropper: undefined local variable or method `crop_h' for /uploads/tmp/20121006-2227-4220-9621/thumb_Koala.jpg:#

Then crop: undefined method `crop_x' for #

Model:

class Project < ActiveRecord::Base
  ...
  mount_uploader :picture, ProjectPictureUploader
end

Solution 1

I have understood.

  version :thumb do    
    process resize_to_fit: [300, nil]
    process crop: '300x150+0+0'
    #process resize_and_crop: 200
  end

private

  # Simplest way
  def crop(geometry)
    manipulate! do |img|      
      img.crop(geometry)
      img
    end    
  end

  # Resize and crop square from Center
  def resize_and_crop(size)  
    manipulate! do |image|                 
      if image[:width] < image[:height]
        remove = ((image[:height] - image[:width])/2).round 
        image.shave("0x#{remove}") 
      elsif image[:width] > image[:height] 
        remove = ((image[:width] - image[:height])/2).round
        image.shave("#{remove}x0")
      end
      image.resize("#{size}x#{size}")
      image
    end
  end

Solution 2

In #cropper your crop_h is not initialized(you double initialize crop_y instead). In #crop error is exactly what error message said - you don't have defined crop_x for Project class.
