ALCameraViewController

A camera view controller with custom image picker and image cropping. Written in Swift.

Features

Front facing and rear facing camera support
Simple and clean look
Custom image picker with permission checking
Image cropping (square only)
Flash light support

Installation & Requirements

This project requires Xcode 8.3 to run and compiles with swift 3.1

Note: This library makes use of the AVFoundation camera API's which are unavailable on the iOS simulator. You'll need a real device to run it.

ALCameraViewController is available on CocoaPods. Add the following to your Podfile:

pod 'ALCameraViewController'

Usage

To use this component couldn't be simpler. Add import ALCameraViewController to the top of you controller file.

In the viewController

let croppingEnabled = true
let cameraViewController = CameraViewController(croppingEnabled: croppingEnabled) { [weak self] image, asset in
	// Do something with your image here.
	// If cropping is enabled this image will be the cropped version

	self?.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}

present(cameraViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)

You can also instantiate the image picker component by itself as well.

let croppingEnabled = true

/// Provides an image picker wrapped inside a UINavigationController instance
let imagePickerViewController = CameraViewController.imagePickerViewController(croppingEnabled: croppingEnabled) { [weak self] image, asset in
		// Do something with your image here.
	 	// If cropping is enabled this image will be the cropped version

    self?.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}

present(imagePickerViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)

For more control you can create it directly.

Note: This approach requires some familiarity with the PhotoKit library provided by apple

import Photos

let imagePickerViewController = PhotoLibraryViewController()
imagePickerViewController.onSelectionComplete = { asset in

		// The asset could be nil if the user doesn't select anything
		guard let asset = asset else {
			return
		}

    // Provides a PHAsset object
		// Retrieve a UIImage from a PHAsset using
		let options = PHImageRequestOptions()
    options.deliveryMode = .highQualityFormat
    options.isNetworkAccessAllowed = true

		PHImageManager.default().requestImage(for: asset, targetSize: PHImageManagerMaximumSize, contentMode: .aspectFill, options: options) { image, _ in
        if let image = image {
						// Do something with your image here
        }
    }
}

present(imagePickerViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
