Welcome to the documentation for the ImagePicker library. If you are looking for an easy way to implement image picking functionality in your iOS app, you have come to the right place. This library provides a simple and customizable solution for selecting images from the user’s photo library or camera.


Installation

ImagePicker is available on the popular package manager, CocoaPods. To install it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:

pod 'ImagePicker'


Usage


1. Import

First, import the ImagePicker module:

import ImagePicker


2. Present ImagePicker

To present the image picker view, create an instance of ImagePickerController:

let imagePickerController = ImagePickerController()

// Customize the picker if needed
// imagePickerController.delegate = self
// imagePickerController.imageLimit = 5

present(imagePickerController, animated: true, completion: nil)


3. Implement Delegate (Optional)

If you want to be notified when the user selects images, you can implement the ImagePickerDelegate protocol. Simply conform to the protocol and implement the imagePickerController(_:didFinishPickingImages:) method:

class YourViewController: UIViewController, ImagePickerDelegate {
    // ...

    func imagePickerController(_ picker: ImagePickerController, didFinishPickingImages images: [UIImage]) {
        // Handle the selected images
        for image in images {
            // Do something with the image
        }
    }
}


Customization

The ImagePicker library also allows for customization to fit your specific app requirements. Here are a few options you can explore:


Option 1: Image Limit

You can set the maximum number of images the user is allowed to select by setting the imageLimit property of the ImagePickerController. By default, there is no limit.

let imagePickerController = ImagePickerController()
imagePickerController.imageLimit = 5


Option 2: Custom Colors

You can customize the colors of the image picker by modifying the ImagePickerConfig struct. This struct provides properties to change various aspects such as the background color, text color, and button colors.

ImagePickerConfig.tintColor = .red
ImagePickerConfig.textColor = .white
ImagePickerConfig.cancelButtonColor = .black


Option 3: Localization

The ImagePicker library supports localization. If you want to provide a different set of localized strings, you can modify the ImagePickerLocalizedString struct. This struct provides properties to change various strings such as the title, buttons, and error messages.

ImagePickerLocalizedString.title = "Select Images"
ImagePickerLocalizedString.cancelButtonTitle = "Cancel"
ImagePickerLocalizedString.errorPermissionDenied = "Access to photos denied"


Conclusion

The ImagePicker library is a powerful and flexible solution for implementing image picking functionality in your iOS app. Whether you need to select a single image or multiple images, this library has got you covered. The customization options allow you to tailor the image picker to match your app’s design and user experience. Happy coding!
