  .package(url: "https://github.com/congnd/FMPhotoPicker.git", .exact("1.3.0")),
]

Carthage

Insert the following line in your Carthfile:
git "git@github.com:congnd/FMPhotoPicker.git"
and run carthage update FMPhotoPicker

CocoaPods

FMPhotoPicker is now available in CocoaPods You want to add pod 'FMPhotoPicker', '~> 1.3.0' similar to the following to your Podfile:
target 'MyApp' do
  pod 'FMPhotoPicker', '~> 1.3.0'
end
Then run a pod install inside your terminal.

Usage

Create a configuration object

var config = FMPhotoPickerConfig()
For details, see Configuration

Picker

let picker = FMPhotoPickerViewController(config: config)
picker.delegate = self
self.present(picker, animated: true)
From iOS 10, you have to add the Privacy - Photo Library Usage Description into your Info.plist file.

Editor

let editor = FMImageEditorViewController(config: config, sourceImage: image)
editor.delegate = self
self.present(editor, animated: true)

Delegation methods

  • Implement FMPhotoPickerViewControllerDelegate protocol to handle selected photos.
func fmPhotoPickerController(_ picker: FMPhotoPickerViewController, didFinishPickingPhotoWith photos: [UIImage])
func fmPhotoPickerController(_ picker: FMPhotoPickerViewController, didFinishPickingPhotoWith assets: [PHAsset])

If you prefer to receive selected photos in type of PHAsset instead of UIImage then don't forget to set the shouldReturnAsset to true and implement the corresponding delegation method.

  • Implement FMImageEditorViewControllerDelegate protocol to handle ouput image
func fmImageEditorViewController(_ editor: FMImageEditorViewController, didFinishEdittingPhotoWith photo: UIImage)

Configuration

The configuration supports the following parameters:

  • maxVideo

  • availableFilters
Filter options that are used in editor. Set this parameter to nil to make the filter menu be unavailable in the editor FMPhotoEditor provides some default filters that will be fit to you. Type: [FMFilterable]? Default: all filters are provided by FMPhotoPicker.
  • availableCrops
Crop options that is used in editor. Set this parameter to nil to make the cropping menu be unavailable in the editor FMPhotoEditor provides some default crops that will be fit to you. Type: [FMCroppable]? Default: all crops provided by FMPhotoPicker.

You are not allowed to use the editor without giving it at least one crop option or one filter option

  • useCropFirst
An option that indicates whether the crop menu should be selected by default in the FMImageEditorViewController. Type: Bool Default: false
  • alertController
An alert controller to show the confirmation view to an user with 2 options: Ok or Cancel. Type: FMAlertable Default: FMAlert
  • shouldReturnAsset
Whether you want FMPhotoPicker returns PHAsset instead of UIImage. FMPhotoPicker chooses a proper delegation method to be invoked when user finishes picking based on this configuration Type: Bool Default: false
  • forceCropEnabled

Customization

Custom filter

You can freely create your own filter by implementing the FMFilterable protocol.
public protocol FMFilterable {
    func filter(image: UIImage) -> UIImage
    func filterName() -> String
}
Be careful that the filterName is used to determine whether the two filters are the same. Make sure that your filter's names are not duplicated, especially with the default filters that you want to use.

Custom cropping

Similar as filter function, FMPhotoPicker provides the capability to use your own cropping by implementing the FMCroppable protocol.
public protocol FMCroppable {
    func crop(image: UIImage, toRect rect: CGRect) -> UIImage
    func name(string: [String: String]) -> String
    func icon() -> UIImage
    func ratio() -> FMCropRatio?
}
The func name(strings: [String: String]) -> String will receive the strings configuration from configuration object. It allows you customize the cropping while keeping all your language setting in only one place.

The name() method is also used as identifier for the cropping. Thus, make sure you do not have any duplicate of the cropping name.

Custom alert view controller

You can use your own view style for the confirmation view by implementing the FMAlertable protocol.
public protocol FMAlertable {
    func show(in viewController: UIViewController, ok: @escaping () -> Void, cancel: @escaping () -> Void)
}
