ReactNative: Native File Selector (Android/iOS)
If this project has helped you out, please support us with a star 🌟
This library is a ReactNative Bridge around native libraries. It allows you to natively select/pick file from device file system:
| Android: nbsp-team/MaterialFilePicker/ | | ----------------- | | |
Note: It allows you to pick file without using Intent/Third Party Software
| iOS: marmelroy/FileBrowser | | ----------------- | | |
Note: It allows you to select only local files associate to app sandbox.
📖 Getting started
$ npm install react-native-file-selector --save
RN60 >= RNFS V1 >
RN60 above please use
react-native-file-selector
V1 and above
- iOS
iOS Prerequisite: Please make sure
CocoaPods
is installed on your system
- Add the following to your `Podfile` -> `ios/Podfile` and run pod update:
use_native_modules!
pod 'RNFileSelector', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-file-selector/ios'
use_frameworks! :linkage => :static
pod 'FileBrowser', :git => 'https://github.com/prscX/FileBrowser'
# Follow [Flipper iOS Setup Guidelines](https://fbflipper.com/docs/getting-started/ios-native)
# This is required because iOSPhotoEditor is implemented using Swift and we have to use use_frameworks! in Podfile
$static_framework = ['FlipperKit', 'Flipper', 'Flipper-Folly',
'CocoaAsyncSocket', 'ComponentKit', 'Flipper-DoubleConversion',
'Flipper-Glog', 'Flipper-PeerTalk', 'Flipper-RSocket', 'Yoga', 'YogaKit',
'CocoaLibEvent', 'OpenSSL-Universal', 'boost-for-react-native']
pre_install do |installer|
Pod::Installer::Xcode::TargetValidator.send(:define_method, :verify_no_static_framework_transitive_dependencies) {}
installer.pod_targets.each do |pod|
if $static_framework.include?(pod.name)
def pod.build_type;
Pod::BuildType.static_library
end
end
end
end
Please make sure Flipper iOS Setup Guidelines steps are added to Podfile, since iOSPhotoEditor is implemented using Swift and we have to use use_frameworks! in Podfile

, please verifynode_modules/react-native-file-selector/ios/
containsPods
folder. If does not exist please executepod install
command onnode_modules/react-native-file-selector/ios/
, if any error => trypod repo update
thenpod install
After verification, open your project and create a folder 'RNFileSelector' under Libraries.
Drag
node_modules/react-native-file-selector/ios/pods/Pods.xcodeproject
into RNFileSelector, as well as the RNFileSelector.xcodeproject if it does not exist.Add the
FileBrowser.framework
into your project'sEmbedded Binaries
and make sure the framework is also in linked libraries.Go to your project's
Build Settings -> Frameworks Search Path
and add${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}/FileBrowser
non-recursive.Add below snippet in your app
AppDelegate.m
. This basically adds navigation controller in order to push list of files screen
UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:rootViewController];
navigationController.navigationBar.hidden = YES;
self.window.rootViewController = navigationController;
// self.window.rootViewController = rootViewController;
- Now build your iOS app through Xcode
