READ THIS FIRST ‼️

Be aware of the below notices before you start anything:

Due to understanding the differences and limitations of a single document, documents will not cover all the contents. If you find nothing related to your expected features and cannot understand about concepts, run the example project and check every option first. It has covered 90% of regular requests with the package.
The package deeply integrates with the photo_manager plugin, make sure you understand these two concepts as much as possible:
- Asset (photos/videos/audio) - AssetEntity
- Assets collection (albums/libraries) - AssetPathEntity

When you have questions about related APIs and behaviors, check photo_manager's API docs for more details.

Most usages are detailed and covered by the example. Please walk through the example carefully before you have any questions.

Notes 📝

When using NSPhotoLibraryAddUsageDescription on iOS, it requires using onEntitySaving or onXFileCaptured to handle the captured file, an AssetEntity is not available in this circumstance, obtaining that asset with its ID will lead to a crash.

Then import the package in your code:

import 'package:wechat_camera_picker/wechat_camera_picker.dart';

Usage 📖

Localizations

When you're picking assets, the package will obtain the Locale? from your BuildContext, and return the corresponding text delegate of the current language. Make sure you have a valid Locale in your widget tree that can be accessed from the BuildContext. Otherwise, the default Chinese delegate will be used.

Embedded text delegates languages are:

简体中文 (default)
English
Tiếng Việt

If you want to use a custom/fixed text delegate, pass it through the CameraPickerConfig.textDelegate.

Simple usage

final AssetEntity? entity = await CameraPicker.pickFromCamera(context);

With configurations

Use CameraPickerConfig for more picking behaviors.

final AssetEntity? entity = await CameraPicker.pickFromCamera(
  context,
  pickerConfig: const CameraPickerConfig(),
);
