Migrating from the core react-native module

This module was created when the CameraRoll was split out from the core of React Native. To migrate to this module you need to follow the installation instructions above and then change you imports from:

import { CameraRoll } from "react-native";

to:

import CameraRoll from "react-native-photo-library";

###Compared to @react-native-community/react-native-cameraroll react-native-cameraroll functionality is similar, but there are several major differencies:

• Start and end can be set by date.
• You can change the alignment.

Usage

CameraRoll provides access to the local camera roll or photo library.

Methods

• saveToCameraRoll
• getPhotos

Reference

Methods

saveToCameraRoll()

CameraRoll.saveToCameraRoll(tag, [type]);

Saves the photo or video to the camera roll or photo library.

On Android, the tag must be a local image or video URI, such as "file:///sdcard/img.png".

On iOS, the tag can be any image URI (including local, remote asset-library and base64 data URIs) or a local video file URI (remote or data URIs are not supported for saving video at this time).

If the tag has a file extension of .mov or .mp4, it will be inferred as a video. Otherwise it will be treated as a photo. To override the automatic choice, you can pass an optional type parameter that must be one of 'photo' or 'video'.

Returns a Promise which will resolve with the new URI.

Parameters:

| Name | Type | Required | Description | | ---- | ---------------------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- | | tag | string | Yes | See above. | | type | enum('photo', 'video') | No | Overrides automatic detection based on the file extension. |

getPhotos()

CameraRoll.getPhotos(params);

Returns a Promise with photo identifier objects from the local camera roll of the device matching shape defined by getPhotosReturnChecker.

Parameters:

| Name | Type | Required | Description | | ------ | ------ | -------- | ------------------------------------------------ | | params | object | Yes | Expects a params with the shape described below. |

Example

Loading images:

_handleButtonPress = () => {
   CameraRoll.getPhotos({
       first: 20,
       assetType: 'Photos',
     })
     .then(r => {
       this.setState({ photos: r.edges });
     })
     .catch((err) => {
        //Error Loading Images
     });
   };
render() {
 return (
   <View>
     <Button title="Load Images" onPress={this._handleButtonPress} />
     <ScrollView>
       {this.state.photos.map((p, i) => {
       return (
         <Image
           key={i}
           style={{
             width: 300,
             height: 100,
           }}
           source={{ uri: p.node.image.uri }}
         />
       );
     })}
     </ScrollView>
   </View>
 );
