Actions

`$photolibrary.granted()`

Returns Promise.resolve(Bool) if the permission is granted.

Example

$photolibrary.granted().then(granted => alert(granted));

`$photolibrary.authorize(showAlert = false)`

Returns Promise.resolve(Int) with the Authorization Status.

If showAlert = true then it will prompt an alert requesting the user go Settings.

The returned number corresponds to PHAuthorizationStatus

PHAuthorizationStatusNotDetermined = 0 User has not yet made a choice with regards to this application
PHAuthorizationStatusRestricted = 1

This application is not authorized to access photo data. The user cannot change this application’s status, possibly due to active restrictions such as parental controls being in place.

PHAuthorizationStatusDenied = 2

User has explicitly denied this application access to photos data.

PHAuthorizationStatusAuthorized = 3

User has authorized this application to access photos data.

PHAuthorizationStatusLimited = 4

User has authorized this application for limited photo library access. Add PHPhotoLibraryPreventAutomaticLimitedAccessAlert = YES to the application's Info.plist to prevent the automatic alert to update the users limited library selection.

Example

$photolibrary.authorize().then(status => $logger.trace(status));

`info.plist`

Add NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription and NSCameraUsageDescription permissions to info.plist

<key>NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription</key>
<string>If you want to use the photolibrary, you have to give permission.</string>
<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
<string>If you want to use the camera, you have to give permission.</string>
