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.

$ npm install react-native-file-selector --save

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!

  pod 'FileBrowser', :git => 'https://github.com/prscX/FileBrowser'

• Android

• Add below snippet in your app's android/build.gradle file

allprojects {
    repositories {
        maven {
            url  "http://dl.bintray.com/lukaville/maven"
        }
        ...
    }
}

• Add below color attributes in your app's android/app/src/main/res/values/color.xml file. You can provide your own color codes.

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <resources>
        <color name="colorPrimary">#3F51B5</color>
        <color name="colorPrimaryDark">#303F9F</color>
        <color name="colorAccent">#FF4081</color>
    </resources>

RN60 below please use react-native-file-selector V.0.*

$ react-native link react-native-file-selector

• Add below snippet in your app build.gradle file

repositories {
    maven {
        url  "http://dl.bintray.com/lukaville/maven"
    }
    maven { url "https://maven.google.com" }
    ...
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenLocal()
        jcenter()
        maven { url "https://maven.google.com" }
        ...
    }
}

Note: This library is supported Android 27 > above

• Add below color attributes in your app res/color.xml. You can provide your own color codes

    <color name="colorPrimary">#3F51B5</color>
    <color name="colorPrimaryDark">#303F9F</color>
    <color name="colorAccent">#FF4081</color>

• After react-native link react-native-file-selector, please verify node_modules/react-native-file-selector/ios/ contains Pods folder. If does not exist please execute pod install command on node_modules/react-native-file-selector/ios/, if any error => try pod repo update then pod 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's Embedded 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

import RNFileSelector from 'react-native-file-selector';

• API Way

RNFileSelector.Show(
    {
        title: 'Select File',
        onDone: (path) => {
            console.log('file selected: ' + path)
        },
        onCancel: () => {
            console.log('cancelled')
        }
    }
)

• React Way

<RNFileSelector title={"Select File"} visible={this.state.visible} onDone={() => {
    console.log("file selected: " + path);
}} onCancel={() => {
    console.log("cancelled");
}}/>

Note

• Filter
  • Android: Please find regex/Pattern for defining filter
  • iOS: Array of file extension needs to be ignore

• Android: nbsp-team/MaterialFilePicker/
• iOS: marmelroy/FileBrowser

RNFileSelector @ prscX

I open-source almost everything I can, and I try to reply everyone needing help using these projects. Obviously, this takes time. You can integrate and use these projects in your applications for free! You can even change the source code and redistribute (even resell it).

However, if you get some profit from this or just want to encourage me to continue creating stuff, there are few ways you can do it:

• Starring and sharing the projects you like 🚀

• If you're feeling especially charitable, please follow prscX on GitHub.

  

  Thanks! ❤️
