Plist entries
In order for your app to access camera and photo libraries,
you'll need to ad these plist entries
:
- Privacy - Camera Usage Description (photo/videos)
- Privacy - Photo Library Usage Description (library)
- Privacy - Microphone Usage Description (videos)
<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
<string>yourWording</string>
<key>NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription</key>
<string>yourWording</string>
<key>NSMicrophoneUsageDescription</key>
<string>yourWording</string>
Configuration
All the configuration endpoints are in the YPImagePickerConfiguration struct. Below are the default value for reference, feel free to play around :)
var config = YPImagePickerConfiguration()
// [Edit configuration here ...]
// Build a picker with your configuration
let picker = YPImagePicker(configuration: config)
General
config.isScrollToChangeModesEnabled = true
config.onlySquareImagesFromCamera = true
config.usesFrontCamera = false
config.showsPhotoFilters = true
config.showsVideoTrimmer = true
config.shouldSaveNewPicturesToAlbum = true
config.albumName = "DefaultYPImagePickerAlbumName"
config.startOnScreen = YPPickerScreen.photo
config.screens = [.library, .photo]
config.showsCrop = .none
config.targetImageSize = YPImageSize.original
config.overlayView = UIView()
config.hidesStatusBar = true
config.hidesBottomBar = false
config.hidesCancelButton = false
config.preferredStatusBarStyle = UIStatusBarStyle.default
config.bottomMenuItemSelectedColour = UIColor(r: 38, g: 38, b: 38)
config.bottomMenuItemUnSelectedColour = UIColor(r: 153, g: 153, b: 153)
config.filters = [DefaultYPFilters...]
config.maxCameraZoomFactor = 1.0
config.fonts..
Library
config.library.options = nil
config.library.onlySquare = false
config.library.isSquareByDefault = true
config.library.minWidthForItem = nil
config.library.mediaType = YPlibraryMediaType.photo
config.library.defaultMultipleSelection = false
config.library.maxNumberOfItems = 1
config.library.minNumberOfItems = 1
config.library.numberOfItemsInRow = 4
config.library.spacingBetweenItems = 1.0
config.library.skipSelectionsGallery = false
config.library.preselectedItems = nil
config.library.preSelectItemOnMultipleSelection = true
Video
config.video.compression = AVAssetExportPresetHighestQuality
config.video.fileType = .mov
config.video.recordingTimeLimit = 60.0
config.video.libraryTimeLimit = 60.0
config.video.minimumTimeLimit = 3.0
config.video.trimmerMaxDuration = 60.0
config.video.trimmerMinDuration = 3.0
Gallery
config.gallery.hidesRemoveButton = false
Default Configuration
// Set the default configuration for all pickers
YPImagePickerConfiguration.shared = config
// And then use the default configuration like so:
let picker = YPImagePicker()
When displaying picker on iPad, picker will support one size only you should set it before displaying it:
let preferredContentSize = CGSize(width: 500, height: 600);
YPImagePickerConfiguration.widthOniPad = preferredContentSize.width;
// Now you can Display the picker with preferred size in dialog, popup etc
Usage
First things first import YPImagePicker
.
The picker only has one callback didFinishPicking
enabling you to handle all the cases. Let's see some typical use cases ๐ค
Single Photo
let picker = YPImagePicker()
picker.didFinishPicking { [unowned picker] items, _ in
if let photo = items.singlePhoto {
print(photo.fromCamera) // Image source (camera or library)
print(photo.image) // Final image selected by the user
print(photo.originalImage) // original image selected by the user, unfiltered
print(photo.modifiedImage) // Transformed image, can be nil
print(photo.exifMeta) // Print exif meta data of original image.
}
picker.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
present(picker, animated: true, completion: nil)
Single video
// Here we configure the picker to only show videos, no photos.
var config = YPImagePickerConfiguration()
config.screens = [.library, .video]
config.library.mediaType = .video
let picker = YPImagePicker(configuration: config)
picker.didFinishPicking { [unowned picker] items, _ in
if let video = items.singleVideo {
print(video.fromCamera)
print(video.thumbnail)
print(video.url)
}
picker.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
present(picker, animated: true, completion: nil)
As you can see singlePhoto
and singleVideo
helpers are here to help you handle single media which are very common, while using the same callback for all your use-cases \o/
Multiple selection
To enable multiple selection make sure to set library.maxNumberOfItems
in the configuration like so:
var config = YPImagePickerConfiguration()
config.library.maxNumberOfItems = 3
let picker = YPImagePicker(configuration: config)
Then you can handle multiple selection in the same callback you know and love :
picker.didFinishPicking { [unowned picker] items, cancelled in
for item in items {
switch item {
case .photo(let photo):
print(photo)
case .video(let video):
print(video)
}
}
picker.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
Handle Cancel event (if needed)
picker.didFinishPicking { [unowned picker] items, cancelled in
if cancelled {
print("Picker was canceled")
}
picker.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
That's it !

If your language is not supported, you can still customize the wordings via the configuration.wordings
api:
config.wordings.libraryTitle = "Gallery"
config.wordings.cameraTitle = "Camera"
config.wordings.next = "OK"
Better yet you can submit an issue or pull request with your Localizable.strings
file to add a new language !
UI Customization
We tried to keep things as native as possible, so this is done mostly through native Apis.
Navigation bar color
let coloredImage = UIImage(color: .red)
UINavigationBar.appearance().setBackgroundImage(coloredImage, for: UIBarMetrics.default)
// UIImage+color helper https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26542035/create-uiimage-with-solid-color-in-swift
Navigation bar fonts
let attributes = [NSAttributedString.Key.font : UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 30, weight: .bold) ]
UINavigationBar.appearance().titleTextAttributes = attributes // Title fonts
UIBarButtonItem.appearance().setTitleTextAttributes(attributes, for: .normal) // Bar Button fonts
Navigation bar Text colors
UINavigationBar.appearance().titleTextAttributes = [NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor : UIColor.yellow ] // Title color
UINavigationBar.appearance().tintColor = .red // Left. bar buttons
config.colors.tintColor = .green // Right bar buttons (actions)

Dependency
YPImagePicker relies on prynt/PryntTrimmerView for provide video trimming and cover features. Big thanks to @HHK1 for making this open source :)
Obj-C support
Objective-C is not supported and this is not on our roadmap. Swift is the future and dropping Obj-C is the price to pay to keep our velocity on this library :)
