🚧 **Still Under Development** 🚧

Currently this package still uses 0 as the major version number, which means the public interface is subject to discussions and design changes. Breaking changes between releases should be expected.

Feedback through Issues or Discussions is always welcome, and I will try to respond as soon as I can.

If you want to give it a try, currently it uses UIImagePickerController under the hood and handles taking a single still image or video and saving the picked photo into the photo library.

Add this package as a dependency from the main branch or the latest tag to your iOS project. Make sure to add the NSCameraUsageDescription key to your app's Info.plist file. For capturing video, You need to add the NSMicrophoneUsageDescription, and for saving the captured image or video, add the NSPhotoLibraryAddUsageDescription.

Basic example code:

import SwiftUI
import AVKit
import CameraPicker

struct ContentView: View {
    @State private var pickedItem: (any CameraPickerItem)?

    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            CameraPicker(
                "Capture an Image",
                selection: $pickedItem,
                preferredMediaTypes: [.image, .movie()]
            )

            switch pickedItem {
                case let pickedItem as ImageCameraPickerItem:
                    pickedItem.mediaType
                        .resizable()
                        .scaledToFit()
                        .frame(width: 400, height: 400)
                case let pickedItem as MovieCameraPickerItem:
                    VideoPlayer(player: pickedItem.mediaType)
                        .frame(width: 400, height: 400)
                default:
                    EmptyView()
            }
        }
    }
}

The above code displays a button. When tapped, it will open the camera and show controls for picking an image or video. Once an image or a video is captured, the picker will dismiss and the image or the video will be displayed in the VStack.

To save a CameraPickerItem to the photo library, just call save():

Button("Save") {
    Task {
        try? await pickedItem?.save()
    }
}
