Custom Camera Cell

Live CameraCell

Installation

Requirements

• Swift 5.0 ( Swift 4.2 -> use 'version 1.8.3' )
• iOS 9.1 (for use live photos)

Cocoapods

TLPhotoPicker is available through CocoaPods. To install it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:

platform :ios, '9.1'
pod "TLPhotoPicker"

Carthage

Carthage is a simple, decentralized dependency manager for Cocoa.

Specify TLPhotoPicker into your project's Cartfile:

github "tilltue/TLPhotoPicker"

Swift Package Manager

The Swift Package Manager is a tool for automating the distribution of Swift code and is integrated into the swift compiler. It is in early development, but TLPhotoPicker does support its use on supported platforms.

Once you have your Swift package set up, adding Alamofire as a dependency is as easy as adding it to the dependencies value of your Package.swift.

dependencies: [
    .package(url: "https://github.com/tilltue/TLPhotoPicker.git", .upToNextMajor(from: "2.1.0"))
]

Don't forget the Privacy Description in info.plist.

iOS 14 You can suppress the automatic prompting from the system by setting this key to yes in your apps info plist. PHPhotoLibraryPreventAutomaticLimitedAccessAlert = YES https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2020/10641/

Usage

use delegate

You can choose delegate method or closure for handle picker event.

class ViewController: UIViewController,TLPhotosPickerViewControllerDelegate {
    var selectedAssets = [TLPHAsset]()
    @IBAction func pickerButtonTap() {
        let viewController = TLPhotosPickerViewController()
        viewController.delegate = self
        var configure = TLPhotosPickerConfigure()
        //configure.nibSet = (nibName: "CustomCell_Instagram", bundle: Bundle.main) // If you want use your custom cell..
        self.present(viewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }
    //TLPhotosPickerViewControllerDelegate
    func shouldDismissPhotoPicker(withTLPHAssets: [TLPHAsset]) -> Bool {
        // use selected order, fullresolution image
        self.selectedAssets = withTLPHAssets
    return true
    }
    func dismissPhotoPicker(withPHAssets: [PHAsset]) {
        // if you want to used phasset. 
    }
    func photoPickerDidCancel() {
        // cancel
    }
    func dismissComplete() {
        // picker viewcontroller dismiss completion
    }
    func canSelectAsset(phAsset: PHAsset) -> Bool {
        //Custom Rules & Display
        //You can decide in which case the selection of the cell could be forbidden. 
    }
    func didExceedMaximumNumberOfSelection(picker: TLPhotosPickerViewController) {
        // exceed max selection
    }
    func handleNoAlbumPermissions(picker: TLPhotosPickerViewController) {
        // handle denied albums permissions case
    }
    func handleNoCameraPermissions(picker: TLPhotosPickerViewController) {
        // handle denied camera permissions case
    }
}

use closure

    init(withPHAssets: (([PHAsset]) -> Void)? = nil, didCancel: ((Void) -> Void)? = nil)
    init(withTLPHAssets: (([TLPHAsset]) -> Void)? = nil, didCancel: ((Void) -> Void)? = nil)
    var canSelectAsset: ((PHAsset) -> Bool)? = nil
    var didExceedMaximumNumberOfSelection: ((TLPhotosPickerViewController) -> Void)? = nil
    var handleNoAlbumPermissions: ((TLPhotosPickerViewController) -> Void)? = nil
    var handleNoCameraPermissions: ((TLPhotosPickerViewController) -> Void)? = nil
    var dismissCompletion: (() -> Void)? = nil

class ViewController: UIViewController,TLPhotosPickerViewControllerDelegate {
    var selectedAssets = [TLPHAsset]()
    @IBAction func pickerButtonTap() {
        let viewController = TLPhotosPickerViewController(withTLPHAssets: { [weak self] (assets) in // TLAssets
            self?.selectedAssets = assets
        }, didCancel: nil)
        viewController.didExceedMaximumNumberOfSelection = { [weak self] (picker) in
            //exceed max selection
        }
        viewController.handleNoAlbumPermissions = { [weak self] (picker) in
            // handle denied albums permissions case
        }
        viewController.handleNoCameraPermissions = { [weak self] (picker) in
            // handle denied camera permissions case
        }
        viewController.selectedAssets = self.selectedAssets
        self.present(viewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }
}

Custom Cell Custom Cell must subclass TLPhotoCollectionViewCell

class CustomCell_Instagram: TLPhotoCollectionViewCell {

}

//If you want custom camera cell?
//only used camera cell
[Sample](https://github.com/tilltue/TLPhotoPicker/blob/master/Example/TLPhotoPicker/CustomCameraCell.swift)

//Adding the possibility to handle cell display according to a specific conditions
func update(with phAsset: PHAsset)
func selectedCell()
func willDisplayCell()
func endDisplayingCell()

Custom Rules & Display

You can implement your own rules to handle the cell display. You can decide in which case the selection of the cell could be forbidden.

For example, if you want to disable the selection of a cell if its width is under 300, you can follow these steps:

• Override the update method of your custom cell and add your own display rule

override func update(with phAsset: PHAsset) {
    super.update(with: phAsset)
    self.sizeRequiredOverlayView?.isHidden = !(phAsset.pixelHeight <= 300 && phAsset.pixelWidth <= 300)
}

In this code, we show an overlay when the height and width required values are not satisified.

• When you instanciate a TLPhotosPickerViewController subclass, you can pass a closure called canSelectAsset to handle the selection according to some rules. ( or delegate)

//use delegate 
public protocol TLPhotosPickerViewControllerDelegate: class {
    ...
    func canSelectAsset(phAsset: PHAsset) -> Bool
    ...
}

extension UserViewController: TLPhotosPickerViewControllerDelegate {
    func canSelectAsset(phAsset: PHAsset) -> Bool {
        if asset.pixelHeight < 100 || asset.pixelWidth < 100 {
            self?.showUnsatisifiedSizeAlert(vc: viewController)
            return false
        }
        return true
    }
}

//or use closure
viewController.canSelectAsset = { [weak self] asset -> Bool in
    if asset.pixelHeight < 100 || asset.pixelWidth < 100 {
        self?.showUnsatisifiedSizeAlert(vc: viewController)
        return false
    }
    return true
}

In this code, we show an alert when the condition in the closure are not satisfiied.

TLPHAsset

public struct TLPHAsset {
    public enum AssetType {
        case photo,video,livePhoto
    }
    // phasset 
    public var phAsset: PHAsset? = nil
    // selected order index
    public var selectedOrder: Int = 0
    // asset type
    public var type: AssetType
    // get full resolution image 
    public var fullResolutionImage: UIImage?
    // get photo file size (async)
    public func photoSize(options: PHImageRequestOptions? = nil ,completion: @escaping ((Int)->Void), livePhotoVideoSize: Bool = false)
    // get video file size (async)
    public func videoSize(options: PHVideoRequestOptions? = nil, completion: @escaping ((Int)->Void))
    // get async icloud image (download)
    @discardableResult
    public func cloudImageDownload(progressBlock: @escaping (Double) -> Void, completionBlock:@escaping (UIImage?)-> Void ) -> PHImageRequestID?
    // get original media file async copy temporary media file ( photo(png,gif...etc.) and video ) -> Don't forget, You should delete temporary file.
    // parmeter : convertLivePhotosToJPG
    // false : If you want mov file at live photos
    // true  : If you want png file at live photos ( HEIC )
    public func tempCopyMediaFile(videoRequestOptions: PHVideoRequestOptions? = nil, 
                                  imageRequestOptions: PHImageRequestOptions? = nil,
                                  livePhotoRequestOptions: PHLivePhotoRequestOptions? = nil,
                                  exportPreset: String = AVAssetExportPresetHighestQuality, 
                                  convertLivePhotosToJPG: Bool = false, 
                                  progressBlock:((Double) -> Void)? = nil, 
                                  completionBlock:@escaping ((URL,String) -> Void)) -> PHImageRequestID?
    //Apparently, This is not the only way to export video.
    //There is many way that export a video.
    //This method was one of them.
    public func exportVideoFile(options: PHVideoRequestOptions? = nil,
                                outputURL: URL? = nil,
                                outputFileType: AVFileType = .mov,
                                progressBlock:((Double) -> Void)? = nil,
                                completionBlock:@escaping ((URL,String) -> Void))
    // get original asset file name
    public var originalFileName: String?
}

Note: convenience export method fullResolutionImage, cloudImageDownload, tempCopyMediaFile, exportVideoFile It's not enough if you wanted to use more complicated export asset options. ( progress, export type, etc..)
