⚠️ Migration Guide
Migrating from v2.x to v3.0.0
Breaking Changes
- CSS Import Removed: The CSS file import (
import 'react-photo-editor/dist/style.css'
) is no longer required - Tailwind CSS Configuration: No longer need to add
'./node_modules/react-photo-editor/dist/*.js'
to your Tailwind config - Changed canvas class name and id: The class name and id for the canvas element have been changed from
canvas
torpe-canvas
for better consistency with the rest of the project. Make sure to update your usage accordingly.
