image_picker_web

Description:

image picker web

ImagePickerWeb #




This Web-Plugin allows Flutter Web to pick images (as File, Widget or Uint8List) and videos (as File or Uint8List). Many thanks goes to AlvaroVasconcelos for the implementation of picking images in his plugin: flutter_web_image_picker

Disclaimer for Videos #

Till now [Mar. 2020] it's not possible (due to security reasons) to play a local video file (see also video_player_web). But you can retreive the file and upload them somewhere and play it as a network source.

Getting Started #
Add image_picker_web to your pubspec.yaml:
image_picker_web: any
copied to clipboard
Picking Images #
Pick an image #
Load image as Image.memory Widget:
Image? fromPicker = await ImagePickerWeb.getImageAsWidget();
copied to clipboard
Load image as bytes:
Uint8List? bytesFromPicker = await ImagePickerWeb.getImageAsBytes();
copied to clipboard
Load image as and html.File object :
html.File? imageFile = (await ImagePickerWeb.getMultiImagesAsFile())?[0];
copied to clipboard
Pick multiple images #
Load images as a List<Image> :
List<Image>? fromPicker = await ImagePickerWeb.getMultiImagesAsWidget();
copied to clipboard
Load images as bytes :
List<Uint8List>? bytesFromPicker = await ImagePickerWeb.getMultiImagesAsBytes();
copied to clipboard
Load images as List<html.File> objects :
List<html.File> imageFiles = await ImagePickerWeb.getMultiImagesAsFile();

How do I get all Informations out of my Image/Video (e.g. Image AND File in one run)? #
Besides the standard getImage() or getVideo() methods you can use the getters:

getImageInfo or
getVideoInfo to acheive this.

Full Example
import 'dart:html' as html;

import 'package:mime_type/mime_type.dart';
import 'package:path/path.dart' as Path;
import 'package:image_picker_web/image_picker_web.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

html.File _cloudFile;
var _fileBytes;
Image _imageWidget;

Future<void> getMultipleImageInfos() async {
var mediaData = await ImagePickerWeb.getImageInfo;
String mimeType = mime(Path.basename(mediaData.fileName));
html.File mediaFile =
new html.File(mediaData.data, mediaData.fileName, {'type': mimeType});

if (mediaFile != null) {
setState(() {
_cloudFile = mediaFile;
_fileBytes = mediaData.data;
_imageWidget = Image.memory(mediaData.data);
});
}
}

With getMultipleImageInfos() you can get all three available types in one call.
Picking Videos #
To load a video as html.File do:
html.File? videoFile = await ImagePickerWeb.getVideoAsFile();
copied to clipboard
To load a video as Uint8List do:
Uint8List? videoData = await ImagePickerWeb.getVideoAsBytes();
copied to clipboard
Reminder: Don't use Uint8List retreivement for big video files! Flutter can't handle that. Pick bigger sized videos and high-resolution videos as html.File !
After you uploaded your video somewhere hosted, you can retreive the network url to play it.
MediaInfos #

The methods getVideoInfo and getImageInfo are also available and you can use them to retreive further informations about your picked source.

Pick multiple images #
Load videos as bytes:
List<Uint8List>? videos = ImagePickerWeb.getMultiVideosAsBytes();
copied to clipboard
Load videos as List<html.File> objects :
List<html.File>? videoFiles = await ImagePickerWeb.getMultiVideosAsFile();
copied to clipboard
Migration Guide #
From 3.0.0 to 4.0.0 #

The WebImagePicker class has been removed. Use methods from ImagePickerWeb class instead.
getImageInfo and getVideoInfo are now methods and not getters. Use them like ImagePickerWeb.getImageInfo() and ImagePickerWeb.getVideoInfo().
