# react-native-image-crop-picker
[](#backers) [](#sponsors)
iOS/Android image picker with support for camera, video, configurable compression, multiple images and cropping
## Result
## Important note
If you are using react-native >= 0.60 use react-native-image-crop-picker version >= 0.25.0. Otherwise use version < 0.25.0.
## Usage
Import library
```javascript
import ImagePicker from 'react-native-image-crop-picker';
```
### Select from gallery
Call single image picker with cropping
```javascript
ImagePicker.openPicker({
width: 300,
height: 400,
cropping: true
}).then(image => {
console.log(image);
});
```
Call multiple image picker
```javascript
ImagePicker.openPicker({
multiple: true
}).then(images => {
console.log(images);
});
```
Select video only from gallery
```javascript
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.**
### Select from camera
#### Image
```javascript
ImagePicker.openCamera({
width: 300,
height: 400,
cropping: true,
}).then(image => {
console.log(image);
});
```
#### Video
```javascript
ImagePicker.openCamera({
mediaType: 'video',
}).then(image => {
console.log(image);
});
```
### Crop picture
```javascript
ImagePicker.openCropper({
path: 'my-file-path.jpg',
width: 300,
height: 400
}).then(image => {
console.log(image);
});
```
### Optional cleanup
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.
```javascript
ImagePicker.clean().then(() => {
console.log('removed all tmp images from tmp directory');
}).catch(e => {
alert(e);
});
```

# Install
## Step 1
```bash
npm i react-native-image-crop-picker --save
```
## Step 2
### iOS
```bash
cd ios
pod install
```
## Step 3
### iOS
#### Step 1
In 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.
#### (Optional) Step 2 - To localizate the camera / gallery / cropper text buttons
- 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.
### Android
- **VERY IMPORTANT** Add the following to your `build.gradle`'s repositories section. (android/build.gradle)
```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)
```gradle
android {
...
defaultConfig {
...
vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
...
}
...
}
```
- Use Android SDK >= 26 (android/app/build.gradle)
```gradle
android {
compileSdkVersion 27
buildToolsVersion "27.0.3"
...
defaultConfig {
...
targetSdkVersion 27
...
}
...
}
```
- [Optional] If you want to use camera picker in your project, add following to `app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml`
