How to Fix ‘Uncaught SyntaxError: import declarations may only appear at top level of a module’ Error in Cropper.js?

It sounds like it could be a version issue. Double-check to ensure you're using the same version of Cropper.js that works in the Codesandbox example. Sometimes differences in versions can lead to unexpected issues.

It would be super helpful if you could share a link to your repository or a deployed page showing the issue. That way, we can help troubleshoot more effectively!

Make sure your script tags include the type="module" attribute. This is essential for using ES module syntax like 'import'. Without it, the browser might throw the error you're seeing.

If you’re trying to load Cropper.js as a module through a standard tag, the browser won’t allow it. You have two options: add the type='module' attribute to your script tag or switch to the UMD build by using cropper.min.js instead of the ESM version. The UMD version attaches Cropper directly to the global window object, allowing you to use it without module syntax.
