Using

Create MediaCoordinator

To start using Media, you must use the MediaCoordinator. Initialization MediaCoordinator(navigationViewController: UINavigationController, mediaAppearance: MediaAppearance, filter: MediaItemsFilter) where:

  • navigationViewController: UINavigationController - navigation controller.
  • mediaAppearance: MediaAppearance - describes UI customization of the media picker.
  • filter: MediaItemsFilter - filter for elements in gallery. Default .all.
   var coordinator = MediaCoordinator(navigationViewController: navigationViewController)

Also in MediaCoordinator there is important public variables such as:

  • MediaCoordinatorDelegate delegate which handles events from the picker:
    public weak var delegate: MediaCoordinatorDelegate?
    
    public protocol MediaCoordinatorDelegate: AnyObject {
        // select photo in list gallery 
	// mediaItems: [MediaItems] - list selected resource
	// use framework `MediaService`. Public class `MediaItem` description selected object on gallery 
        func selectMediaItemsEventTriggered(_ mediaItems: [MediaItem])
	
	// triggered when make photo over camera
        func photoEventTriggered(_ image: UIImage)
        
	// triggered when tap on more in manager access
        func moreEventTriggered()
	
	// triggered when tap in setting in manager access
        func settingEventTriggered()
	
	// triggered when tap on custom element in manager access. If added is not custom button event never triggered.
        func customEventTriggered()
    }
  • isAccessManagerEnabled responsible for displaying the manager's access when the number of photos is limited. If you set it to false, the manager's display logic will be ignored. The default value is true.. available(iOS 14, * )
    public var isAccessManagerEnabled: Bool
  • maxItemsCount variable is responsible for the allowed number of selected photos. Default 2.
    public var maxItemsCount: Int
  • needCloseBySelect determines if picker will be automatically closed on media item selection.
    public var needCloseBySelect: Bool
  • isShowActionSheetWithAnimated boolean variable for show animated action sheet popup. Default true.
   public var isShowActionSheetWithAnimated: Bool
  • filter filter for elements in gallery. Default .all.
    public var filter: MediaItemsFilter
  • mediaAppearance determines UI customization parameters.
    public var mediaAppearance: MediaAppearance

Since Media needs access to system photos and camera, make sure to add NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription and NSCameraUsageDescription in your app's info.plist:

	<key>NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription</key>
	<string>Describe how photos / videos will be used by your app</string>
	<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
	<string>Describe how camera will be used by your app</string>

If you want to avoid limited photo selection alert to be shown on each app launch, add PHPhotoLibraryPreventAutomaticLimitedAccessAlert key to the app's plist:

	<key>PHPhotoLibraryPreventAutomaticLimitedAccessAlert</key>
	<true/>

After initializing MediaCoordinator, call start to present gallery picker.

    private func start() {
        coordinator = MediaCoordinator(navigationViewController: navigationController)
        coordinator?.delegate = self
        coordinator?.start()
    }

Requirements

  • iOS 12.2+
  • Xcode 12.0+

Installation

Carthage

Carthage is a decentralized dependency manager that builds your dependencies and provides you with binary frameworks. To integrate MediaService into your Xcode project using Carthage, specify it in your Cartfile:

github "rosberry/Media"

CocoaPods

CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects. For usage and installation instructions, visit their website. To integrate MediaService into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:

pod 'Media'

Swift Package Manager

The Swift Package Manager is a tool for automating the distribution of Swift code and is integrated into the swift compiler. Once you have your Swift package set up, adding MediaService as a dependency is as easy as adding it to the dependencies value of your Package.swift.
