## Important note

If you are using react-native >= 0.60 use react-native-image-crop-picker version >= 0.25.0. Otherwise use version < 0.25.0.

## Usage

Import library

```javascript
import ImagePicker from 'react-native-image-crop-picker';
```

### Select from gallery

Call single image picker with cropping
```javascript
ImagePicker.openPicker({
  width: 300,
  height: 400,
  cropping: true
}).then(image => {
  console.log(image);
});
```

Call multiple image picker

```javascript
ImagePicker.openPicker({
  multiple: true
}).then(images => {
  console.log(images);
});
```

Select video only from gallery

```javascript
ImagePicker.openPicker({
  mediaType: "video",
}).then((video) => {
  console.log(video);
});
```

**Android: The prop 'cropping' has been known to cause videos not to be displayed in the gallery on Android. Please do not set cropping to true when selecting videos.**


### Select from camera 

#### Image

```javascript
ImagePicker.openCamera({
  width: 300,
  height: 400,
  cropping: true,
}).then(image => {
  console.log(image);
});
```

#### Video

```javascript
ImagePicker.openCamera({
  mediaType: 'video',
}).then(image => {
  console.log(image);
});
```

### Crop picture

```javascript
ImagePicker.openCropper({
  path: 'my-file-path.jpg',
  width: 300,
  height: 400
}).then(image => {
  console.log(image);
});
```

### Optional cleanup

Module is creating tmp images which are going to be cleaned up automatically somewhere in the future. If you want to force cleanup, you can use `clean` to clean all tmp files, or `cleanSingle(path)` to clean single tmp file.

```javascript
ImagePicker.clean().then(() => {
  console.log('removed all tmp images from tmp directory');
}).catch(e => {
  alert(e);
});
```

# Install

## Step 1

```bash
npm i react-native-image-crop-picker --save

## Step 2

### iOS

```bash
cd ios
pod install
```

## Step 3

### iOS

#### Step 1

In Xcode open Info.plist and add string key `NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription` with value that describes why you need access to user photos. More info here https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/62229. Depending on what features you use, you also may need `NSCameraUsageDescription` and `NSMicrophoneUsageDescription` keys.
  
#### (Optional) Step 2 - To localizate the camera / gallery / cropper text buttons

- Open your Xcode project
- Go to your project settings by opening the project name on the Navigation (left side)
- Select your project in the project list 
- Should be into the Info tab and add in Localizations the language your app was missing throughout the +
- Rebuild and you should now have your app camera and gallery with the classic ios text in the language you added.

### Android

- **VERY IMPORTANT** Add the following to your `build.gradle`'s repositories section. (android/build.gradle)

```gradle

      maven { url 'https://maven.google.com' }

      // ADD THIS
      maven { url "https://www.jitpack.io" }
    }
}
```

- Add `useSupportLibrary` (android/app/build.gradle)

```gradle
android {
    ...

    defaultConfig {
        ...
        vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
        ...
    }
    ...
}
```

- Use Android SDK >= 26 (android/app/build.gradle)

```gradle

    defaultConfig {
      ...
      targetSdkVersion 27
