[![npm downloads](https://img.shields.io/npm/dw/react-native-image-picker)](https://img.shields.io/npm/dw/react-native-image-picker)
[![npm package](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/react-native-image-picker?color=red)](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/react-native-image-picker?color=red)
[![License](https://img.shields.io/github/license/react-native-image-picker/react-native-image-picker?color=blue)](https://github.com/react-native-image-picker/react-native-image-picker/blob/main/LICENSE.md)
## Installation
```bash
yarn add react-native-image-picker
```
### New Architecture
To take advantage of the new architecture run-
#### iOS
```bash
RCT_NEW_ARCH_ENABLED=1 npx pod-install ios
```
#### Android
Set `newArchEnabled` to true inside `android/gradle.properties`
### Pre-Fabric (aka not using the new architecture)
```bash
npx pod-install ios
```
## Post-install Steps
### iOS
Add the appropriate keys to your Info.plist,
If you are allowing user to select image/video from photos, add `NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription`.
If you are allowing user to capture image add `NSCameraUsageDescription` key also.
If you are allowing user to capture video add `NSCameraUsageDescription` add `NSMicrophoneUsageDescription` key also.
### Android
No permissions required (`saveToPhotos` requires permission [check](#note-on-file-storage)).
Note: This library does not require Manifest.permission.CAMERA, if your app declares as using this permission in manifest then you have to obtain the permission before using `launchCamera`.
## API Reference
## Methods
```js
import {launchCamera, launchImageLibrary} from 'react-native-image-picker';
```
### `launchCamera()`
Launch camera to take photo or video.
```js
launchCamera(options?, callback);
// You can also use as a promise without 'callback':
const result = await launchCamera(options?);
```
See [Options](#options) for further information on `options`.
The `callback` will be called with a response object, refer to [The Response Object](#the-response-object).
### `launchImageLibrary`
Launch gallery to pick image or video.
```js
launchImageLibrary(options?, callback)
// You can also use as a promise without 'callback':
const result = await launchImageLibrary(options?);
```
See [Options](#options) for further information on `options`.
The `callback` will be called with a response object, refer to [The Response Object](#the-response-object).

## Asset Object

| base64 | OK | OK | OK | PHOTO ONLY | NO | The base64 string of the image (photos only) |
| uri | OK | OK | OK | BOTH | NO | The file uri in app specific cache storage. Except when picking **video from Android gallery** where you will get read only content uri, to get file uri in this case copy the file to app specific storage using any react-native library. For web it uses the base64 as uri. |
| width | OK | OK | OK | BOTH | NO | Asset dimensions |
| height | OK | OK | OK | BOTH | NO | Asset dimensions |
| fileSize | OK | OK | NO | BOTH | NO | The file size |
| type | OK | OK | NO | BOTH | NO | The file type |

| timestamp | OK | OK | NO | BOTH | YES | Timestamp of the asset. Only included if 'includeExtra' is true |
| id | OK | OK | NO | BOTH | YES | local identifier of the photo or video. On Android, this is the same as fileName |
## Note on file storage
Image/video captured via camera will be stored in temporary folder so will be deleted any time, so don't expect it to persist. Use `saveToPhotos: true` (default is false) to save the file in the public photos. `saveToPhotos` requires WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission on Android 28 and below (You have to obtain the permission, the library does not).
For web this doesn't work.
## ErrorCode
| Code | Description |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------- |
| camera_unavailable | camera not available on device |
| permission | Permission not satisfied |
| others | other errors (check errorMessage for description) |
