FileBrowser - iOS Finder-style file browser in Swift

Build Status Version Carthage compatible

FileBrowser

iOS Finder-style file browser in Swift 4.0 with search, file previews and 3D touch. Simple and quick to use.

Features

:sparkles: Features
:iphone: Browse and select files and folders with a familiar UI on iOS.
:mag: Pull down to search.
:eyeglasses: Preview most file types. Including plist and json.
:pencil: Edit/delete files.
:point_up_2: 3D touch support for faster previews with Peek & Pop.
:white_flower: Fully customizable.

Usage

Import FileBrowser at the top of the Swift file.

import FileBrowser

To show the file browser, all you need to do is:

let fileBrowser = FileBrowser()
present(fileBrowser, animated: true, completion: nil)

By default, the file browser will open in your app's documents directory. When users select a file, a preview will be displayed - offering an action sheet of options based on the file type.

Advanced Usage

You can open FileBrowser in a different root folder by initialising with an NSURL file path of your choice.

let fileBrowser = FileBrowser(initialPath: customPath)

You can also allow editing/deleting files.

let fileBrowser = FileBrowser(initialPath: customPath, allowEditing: true)

Use the didSelectFile closure to change FileBrowser's behaviour when a file is selected.

fileBrowser.didSelectFile = { (file: FBFile) -> Void in
    print(file.displayName)
}

To exclude a certain file type or a specific file path:

fileBrowser.excludesFileExtensions = ["zip"]
fileBrowser.excludesFilepaths = [secretFile]

Setting up with CocoaPods

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'

Setting up with Carthage

Carthage is a decentralized dependency manager that automates the process of adding frameworks to your Cocoa application.

You can install Carthage with Homebrew using the following command:
