Basic Usage
To run the example project, clone the repo, and run pod install from the Example directory first.
// to show
let picker = AssetsPickerViewController()
picker.pickerDelegate = self
present(picker, animated: true, completion: nil)
// to handle
extension SimpleExampleController: AssetsPickerViewControllerDelegate {
func assetsPickerCannotAccessPhotoLibrary(controller: AssetsPickerViewController) {}
func assetsPickerDidCancel(controller: AssetsPickerViewController) {}
func assetsPicker(controller: AssetsPickerViewController, selected assets: [PHAsset]) {
// do your job with selected assets
}
func assetsPicker(controller: AssetsPickerViewController, shouldSelect asset: PHAsset, at indexPath: IndexPath) -> Bool {
return true
}
func assetsPicker(controller: AssetsPickerViewController, didSelect asset: PHAsset, at indexPath: IndexPath) {}
func assetsPicker(controller: AssetsPickerViewController, shouldDeselect asset: PHAsset, at indexPath: IndexPath) -> Bool {
return true
}
func assetsPicker(controller: AssetsPickerViewController, didDeselect asset: PHAsset, at indexPath: IndexPath) {}
}
Bonus
Basic
To hide empty albums,
pickerConfig.albumIsShowEmptyAlbum = false
To show "Hidden" albums,
pickerConfig.albumIsShowHiddenAlbum = true
To set pre-selected assets before present picker,
pickerConfig.selectedAssets = self.assets
To limit selected assets count,
func assetsPicker(controller: AssetsPickerViewController, shouldSelect asset: PHAsset, at indexPath: IndexPath) -> Bool {
if controller.selectedAssets.count > 3 {
// do your job here
return false
}
return true
}
To enable single image select mode, deselect all items when the limit has reached,
func assetsPicker(controller: AssetsPickerViewController, shouldSelect asset: PHAsset, at indexPath: IndexPath) -> Bool {
if controller.selectedAssets.count > 0 {
controller.photoViewController.deselectAll()
}
return true
}
Appearence
To apply custom album cell,
pickerConfig.albumCellType = CustomAlbumCell.classForCoder()
// and implement your own UICollectionViewCell which conforms to AssetsAlbumCellProtocol
To apply custom asset cell,
pickerConfig.assetCellType = CustomAssetCell.classForCoder()
// and implement your own UICollectionViewCell which conforms to AssetsPhotoCellProtocol
Sorting
To sort albums by PHFetchOptions,
let options = PHFetchOptions()
options.sortDescriptors = [NSSortDescriptor(key: "estimatedAssetCount", ascending: true)]
pickerConfig.albumFetchOptions = [
.smartAlbum: options
]
To sort by block for a certain reason,
pickerConfig.albumComparator = { (albumType, leftEntry, rightEntry) -> Bool in
// return: Is leftEntry ordered before the rightEntry?
switch albumType {
case .smartAlbum:
return leftEntry.album.assetCollectionSubtype.rawValue < rightEntry.album.assetCollectionSubtype.rawValue
case .album:
return leftEntry.result.count < rightEntry.result.count // ascending order by asset count
case .moment:
return true
}
}
To sort assets by PHFetchOptions,
let options = PHFetchOptions()
options.sortDescriptors = [
NSSortDescriptor(key: "pixelWidth", ascending: true),
NSSortDescriptor(key: "pixelHeight", ascending: true)
]
pickerConfig.assetFetchOptions = [
.smartAlbum: options
]
Filtering
To filter albums by PHFetchOptions,
let options = PHFetchOptions()
options.predicate = NSPredicate(format: "estimatedAssetCount = 0")
pickerConfig.albumFetchOptions = [.smartAlbum: options]
To filter albums by block for a certain reason,
// return true to include, false to discard.
let smartAlbumFilter: ((PHAssetCollection, PHFetchResult<PHAsset>) -> Bool) = { (album, fetchResult) in
// filter by album object
if album.assetCollectionSubtype == .smartAlbumBursts { return false }
if album.assetCollectionSubtype == .smartAlbumTimelapses { return false }
if album.assetCollectionSubtype == .smartAlbumFavorites { return false }
// filter by fetch result
if fetchResult.count > 50 {
return true // only shows albums that contains more than 50 assets
} else {
return false //
}
}
pickerConfig.albumFilter = [
.smartAlbum: smartAlbumFilter
]
To filter assets by PHFetchOptions,
let options = PHFetchOptions()
options.predicate = NSPredicate(format: "mediaType = %d", PHAssetMediaType.video.rawValue)
options.sortDescriptors = [NSSortDescriptor(key: "duration", ascending: true)]
pickerConfig.assetFetchOptions = [
.smartAlbum: options,
.album: options
]
