react-easy-crop VS heroicons

To get started with our image modal implementation, i'll assume you already have a React project set up. For UI i’m using Tailwind CSS. But you can use any UI library as your wish. For the image cropping and rotating functionality, we'll be utilizing the react-easy-crop library. This library provides a simple and intuitive way to crop and interact with images and videos within a React component. We will also use the heroicons and classnames libraries in our tutorial. To install all the libraries and their dependencies, open your terminal and navigate to your project's directory. Run the following command:

The library I'm talking about is react-easy-crop

We have to install refine's support packages for React Table and React Hook Form. We are using Tailwind Heroicons for our icons, the Day.js library for time calculations and Recharts library to plot our charts for KPI data. So, run the following and we are good to go:

heroicons - Beautiful hand-crafted SVG icons, by the makers of Tailwind CSS.

These depedencies provide unstyled accessible components from headless ui, icons from heroicons and common hooks with typescript support.
