Feature request: Circular selection

[timshannon]

Just what the title says. I like Croppr because it's very lightweight, and straight forward. Other cropping libraries are trying to do everything, but all I need is a simple selection like this library provides, however one feature that I would like would be circular selections.

I may try and throw together a PR as well, if I get a chance.

Hi @timshannon, glad to hear that enjoy Croppr's simplicity. Circular selections will definitely be a great addition with minimal extra code, since some of it can be done simply via CSS and border-radius. However, the dark overlay mechanism will need to be rethought since the CSS clip property doesn't seem to support circular clipping paths. clip-path does, but we will lose IE & Edge support.

I might try to throw something together one of these days, or do feel free to make a PR if you have the time!

Some updates here?

Quick and dirty idea: a transparent overlay with border-radius: 50% and box-shadow: 0 0 0 2000px rgba(0,0,0,0.5). Then simply remove border-raidus and uou have a square. But I don't really know, if so huge box-shadow somehow impact performance...
