ImagePickerView is a lightweight library which brings PHPickerViewController
/ UIImagePickerController
to SwiftUI
.
Using Swift Package Manager, add it as a Swift Package in Xcode 11.0 or later, select File > Swift Packages > Add Package Dependency...
and add the repository URL:
https://github.com/rebeloper/ImagePickerView.git
Download and include the ImagePickerView
folder and files in your codebase.
- iOS 14+
- Swift 5.3+
Import ImagePickerView
into your View
import ImagePickerView
Here's the list of the awesome features ImagePickerView
has:
- use
PHPickerViewController
as aView
inSwiftUI
projects (recommended, introduced iniOS14
) - use
UIImagePickerController
as aView
inSwiftUI
projects (not-recommended; use only for single image picking and when you want to enable editing) - set
filter
andselectionLimit
inImagePickerView
-
didCancel
,didSelect
anddidFail
delegate callbacks forImagePickerView
- set
allowsEditing
inUIImagePickerView
-
didCancel
anddidSelect
delegate callbacks forUIImagePickerView
Selecting images from our iPhone library is needed when changing a profile picture, posting an update, or sharing the photo of your pet. In UIKit
Pre-iOS14
we would use UIImagePickerController
, but as of iOS14
Apple introduced PHPickerViewController
.
ImagePickerView
supports both of them:
UIImagePickerController
-> UIImagePickerView
PHPickerViewController
-> ImagePickerView
Just check out these examples where the UIImagePickerView
/ImagePickerView
is presented upon a tap of a Button
.
import SwiftUI
import ImagePickerView
struct UIImagePickerControllerContentView: View {
@State var isImagePickerViewPresented = false
@State var pickedImage: UIImage? = nil
var body: some View {
VStack(spacing: 12) {
Text("UIImagePickerView").font(.largeTitle)
Button {
isImagePickerViewPresented = true
} label: {
VStack {
if pickedImage == nil {
Image(systemName: "camera")
.font(.largeTitle)
} else {
Image(uiImage: pickedImage!)
.resizable()
.frame(width: 66, height: 66)
.cornerRadius(33)
}
}
}
.sheet(isPresented: $isImagePickerViewPresented) {
UIImagePickerView(allowsEditing: true, delegate: UIImagePickerView.Delegate(isPresented: $isImagePickerViewPresented, didCancel: { (uiImagePickerController) in
print("Did Cancel: \(uiImagePickerController)")
}, didSelect: { (result) in
let uiImagePickerController = result.picker
let image = result.image
print("Did Select image: \(image) from \(uiImagePickerController)")
pickedImage = image
}))
}
Spacer()
}
}
}
import SwiftUI
import ImagePickerView
struct PHPickerViewControllerContentView: View {
@State var isImagePickerViewPresented = false
@State var pickedImages: [UIImage]? = nil
var body: some View {
VStack(spacing: 12) {
Text("ImagePickerView").font(.largeTitle)
Button {
isImagePickerViewPresented = true
} label: {
VStack {
Image(systemName: "camera")
.font(.largeTitle)
}
}
.sheet(isPresented: $isImagePickerViewPresented) {
// filter default is .images; please DO NOT CHOOSE .videos
// selectionLimit default is 1; set to 0 to have unlimited selection
ImagePickerView(filter: .any(of: [.images, .livePhotos]), selectionLimit: 0, delegate: ImagePickerView.Delegate(isPresented: $isImagePickerViewPresented, didCancel: { (phPickerViewController) in
print("Did Cancel: \(phPickerViewController)")
}, didSelect: { (result) in
let phPickerViewController = result.picker
let images = result.images
print("Did Select images: \(images) from \(phPickerViewController)")
pickedImages = images
}, didFail: { (imagePickerError) in
let phPickerViewController = imagePickerError.picker
let error = imagePickerError.error
print("Did Fail with error: \(error) in \(phPickerViewController)")
}))
}
if pickedImages != nil {
ScrollView {
ForEach(pickedImages!, id:\.self) { image in
Image(uiImage: image)
.resizable()
.frame(width: 66, height: 66)
.cornerRadius(33)
}
}
}
Spacer()
}
}
}
