Important notes

- If you are using react-native new architecture, you have to use react-native-image-crop-picker version >= 0.50.0

Usage

Import library

``javascript
import ImagePicker from "react-native-image-crop-picker";
`

$3

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 displayed in the gallery on Android. Please do not set cropping to true when selecting videos.

#### 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);
});
`

$3

`javascript
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.

`javascript
ImagePicker.clean()
.then(() => {
console.log("removed all tmp images from tmp directory");
})
.catch((e) => {
alert(e);
});

| 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: data:${image.mime};base64,${image.data}}} /> |

#### 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 localize 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.
