icloud-filepicker-swift-ionic3

iCloud File Picker plugin for Ionic 3 made with Swift 3

This plugin makes possible to pick files from iCloud or other document providers

Installation:

cordova plugin add https://github.com/pabiagioli/icloud-filepicker-swift-ionic3.git

Usage:

Pick a file

If you don't pass any params, public.data UTI will be used

//first declare DocumentPickerSwift object in your *.ts file
declare var DocumentPickerSwift:any;
...
//Then check if the plugin is available and then open the file picker
var utis = ["public.image", "public.data", "com.adobe.pdf"];
DocumentPickerSwift.isAvailable((available)=>{
if(available){
    DocumentPickerSwift.pickFile(
    (file_path)=>{
        console.log("successfully picked a file "+file_path);
    }, 
    (errMsg)=>{
        console.log("No file picker, error: "+errMsg);
    }, utis);
}
});

You can pass the UTI as string

DocumentPickerSwift.pickFile(successCallback,errorCallback,"public.data");

If you want to pass more than one UTI you can pass an array of strings

var utis = ["public.data", "public.audio"];
DocumentPickerSwift.pickFile(successCallback,errorCallback,utis);

successCallback will bring the file url as string errorCallback will bring an error message as string
