React Native Image Picker

npm version npm MIT Platform - Android and iOS Gitter chat

A React Native module that allows you to use native UI to select a photo/video from the device library or directly from the camera, like so:

iOS Android

Before you open an issue

This library started as a basic bridge of the native iOS image picker, and I want to keep it that way. As such, functionality beyond what the native UIImagePickerController supports will not be supported here. Multiple image selection, more control over the crop tool, and landscape support are things missing from the native iOS functionality - not issues with my library. If you need these things, react-native-image-crop-picker might be a better choice for you.

Getting Started

yarn add tm-react-native-image-picker
react-native link tm-react-native-image-picker

You will also need to add UsageDescription on iOS and some permissions on Android, refer to the Install doc.

Usage

import ImagePicker from 'tm-react-native-image-picker';
 
// More info on all the options is below in the API Reference... just some common use cases shown here
const options = {
  title: 'Select Avatar',
  customButtons: [{ name: 'fb', title: 'Choose Photo from Facebook' }],
  storageOptions: {
    skipBackup: true,
    path: 'images',
  },
};
 
/**
 * The first arg is the options object for customization (it can also be null or omitted for default options),
 * The second arg is the callback which sends object: response (more info in the API Reference)
 */
ImagePicker.showImagePicker(options, (response) => {
  console.log('Response = ', response);
 
  if (response.didCancel) {
    console.log('User cancelled image picker');
  } else if (response.error) {
    console.log('ImagePicker Error: ', response.error);
  } else if (response.customButton) {
    console.log('User tapped custom button: ', response.customButton);
  } else {
    const source = { uri: response.uri };
 
    // You can also display the image using data:
    // const source = { uri: 'data:image/jpeg;base64,' + response.data };
 
    this.setState({
      avatarSource: source,
    });
  }
});

Then later, if you want to display this image in your render() method:

<Image source={this.state.avatarSource} style={styles.uploadAvatar} />

Directly Launching the Camera or Image Library

To Launch the Camera or Image Library directly (skipping the alert dialog) you can do the following:

// Launch Camera:
ImagePicker.launchCamera(options, (response) => {
  // Same code as in above section!
});
 
// Open Image Library:
ImagePicker.launchImageLibrary(options, (response) => {
  // Same code as in above section!
});

Notes

On iOS, don't assume that the absolute uri returned will persist. See #107
