Description

Description

Product Opener currently uses jquery-cropper in the UI to enable users to select and rotate parts of an image, for example to crop a larger picture to a nutrition table. Cropper.js v2 is not compatible with jquery-cropper, so we need replace the jquery wrapper to upgrade from Cropper.js v1 to Cropper.js v2.

Acceptance criteria

Image cropping works the same as with Cropper.js v1.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review the Cropper.js v2 migration guide; locate all usages of jquery cropper in the codebase; replace with native Cropper.js v2 API, ensuring image cropping functionality remains unchanged.
