nativescript-mediafilepicker

A complete file picker solution for NativeScript. You will be able to pickup any types of file. Capturing image, video & audio are supported. It's a combination features of nativescript-imagepicker and nativescript-camera plugin with some extended features using following native libaries:

Old version (v1.X) can be found from this branch

Features:

  • Image, Video, Audio & custom file picker.
  • Capturing Image, Video and Audio from APP directly.
  • Custom files like pdf, text etc support. For iOS I have used UIDocumentPickerViewController
  • Single or Multiple selections.
  • More...

Limitations

  • Anything those exists in Native Library. You can check the native libaries.
  • In iOS after selecting file you may not be able to use it directly. In this case you will need to copy that file in your app directory. After using it you can delete it for reducing storage memory usage. Please check the demo for more details. Only for iOS Audio picker.
  • At present selecting iCloud file isn't supported for iOS because of Native Library limitation.

Note: I am not an expert of neigher iOS nor Android. So, please contribute if you think something you can do better :)

        isNeedFolderList: true,
        maxSize: 102400 // Maximum size of recorded file in bytes. 5900 = ~ 1 second
    },
    ios: {
        isCaptureMood: false, // if true then voice recorder will open directly.
        maxNumberFiles: 5,
        audioMaximumDuration: 10,
    }
};

let mediafilepicker = new Mediafilepicker();
