iOS/Android image picker with support for camera, video, configurable compression, multiple images and cropping
If you are using react-native >= 0.60 use react-native-image-crop-picker version >= 0.25.0. Otherwise use version < 0.25.0.
Import library
import ImagePicker from 'react-native-image-crop-picker';Call single image picker with cropping
ImagePicker.openPicker({
width: 300,
height: 400,
cropping: true
}).then(image => {
console.log(image);
});Call multiple image picker
ImagePicker.openPicker({
multiple: true
}).then(images => {
console.log(images);
});Select video only from gallery
ImagePicker.openPicker({
mediaType: "video",
}).then((video) => {
console.log(video);
});Android: The prop 'cropping' has been known to cause videos not to be display in the gallery on Android. Please do not set cropping to true when selecting videos.
ImagePicker.openCamera({
width: 300,
height: 400,
cropping: true,
}).then(image => {
console.log(image);
});ImagePicker.openCamera({
mediaType: 'video',
}).then(image => {
console.log(image);
});ImagePicker.openCropper({
path: 'my-file-path.jpg',
width: 300,
height: 400
}).then(image => {
console.log(image);
});Module is creating tmp images which are going to be cleaned up automatically somewhere in the future. If you want to force cleanup, you can use clean to clean all tmp files, or cleanSingle(path) to clean single tmp file.
ImagePicker.clean().then(() => {
console.log('removed all tmp images from tmp directory');
}).catch(e => {
alert(e);
});| Property | Type | Description |

| multiple | bool (default false) | Enable or disable multiple image selection |
| writeTempFile (ios only) | bool (default true) | When set to false, does not write temporary files for the selected images. This is useful to improve performance when you are retrieving file contents with the includeBase64 option and don't need to read files from disk. |
| includeBase64 | bool (default false) | When set to true, the image file content will be available as a base64-encoded string in the data property. Hint: To use this string as an image source, use it like: <Image source={{uri: `data:${image.mime};base64,${image.data}`}} /> |
| includeExif | bool (default false) | Include image exif data in the response |
| avoidEmptySpaceAroundImage (ios only) | bool (default true) | When set to true, the image will always fill the mask space. |
| cropperActiveWidgetColor (android only) | string (default "#424242") |
When cropping image, determines ActiveWidget color. |
| cropperStatusBarColor (android only) | string (default #424242) |
When cropping image, determines the color of StatusBar. |
| cropperToolbarColor (android only) | string (default #424242) |

| maxFiles (ios only) | number (default 5) | Max number of files to select when using multiple option |
| waitAnimationEnd (ios only) | bool (default true) | Promise will resolve/reject once ViewController completion block is called |
| smartAlbums (ios only) | array (supported values) (default ['UserLibrary', 'PhotoStream', 'Panoramas', 'Videos', 'Bursts']) | List of smart albums to choose from |
| useFrontCamera | bool (default false) | Whether to default to the front/'selfie' camera when opened. Please note that not all Android devices handle this parameter, see issue #1058 |

| compressImageQuality | number (default 1 (Android)/0.8 (iOS)) | Compress image with quality (from 0 to 1, where 1 is best quality). On iOS, values larger than 0.8 don't produce a noticeable quality increase in most images, while a value of 0.8 will reduce the file size by about half or less compared to a value of 1. |
| loadingLabelText (ios only) | string (default "Processing assets...") | Text displayed while photo is loading in picker |
| mediaType | string (default any) | Accepted mediaType for image selection, can be one of: 'photo', 'video', or 'any' |

pod installIn Xcode open Info.plist and add string key NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription with value that describes why you need access to user photos. More info here https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/62229. Depending on what features you use, you also may need NSCameraUsageDescription and NSMicrophoneUsageDescription keys.
- Open your Xcode project
- Go to your project settings by opening the project name on the Navigation (left side)
- Select your project in the project list
- Should be into the Info tab and add in Localizations the language your app was missing throughout the +
- Rebuild and you should now have your app camera and gallery with the classic ios text in the language you added.
- VERY IMPORTANT Add the following to your
build.gradle's repositories section. (android/build.gradle)
allprojects {
repositories {
mavenLocal()
jcenter()
maven { url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android" }
// ADD THIS
maven { url 'https://maven.google.com' }
// ADD THIS
maven { url "https://www.jitpack.io" }
}
}- Add
useSupportLibrary(android/app/build.gradle)
android {
...
defaultConfig {
...
vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
...
}
...
}- Use Android SDK >= 26 (android/app/build.gradle)
android {
compileSdkVersion 27
buildToolsVersion "27.0.3"
...
defaultConfig {
...
targetSdkVersion 27
...
}
...
}-
