Usage

Quick simple usage example:

Single file

FilePickerResult? result = await FilePicker.platform.pickFiles();

if(result != null) {
   File file = File(result.files.single.path);
} else {
   // User canceled the picker
}

Multiple files

FilePickerResult? result = await FilePicker.platform.pickFiles(allowMultiple: true);

if(result != null) {
   List<File> files = result.paths.map((path) => File(path)).toList();
} else {
   // User canceled the picker
}

Multiple files with extension filter

FilePickerResult? result = await FilePicker.platform.pickFiles(
          type: FileType.custom,
          allowedExtensions: ['jpg', 'pdf', 'doc'],
        );

Load result and file details

FilePickerResult? result = await FilePicker.platform.pickFiles();

if(result != null) {
   PlatformFile file = result.files.first;
   
   print(file.name);
   print(file.bytes);
   print(file.size);
   print(file.extension);
   print(file.path);
} else {
   // User canceled the picker
}

Pick and upload a file to Firebase Storage with Flutter Web

FilePickerResult? result = await FilePicker.platform.pickFiles();

if (result != null) {
  Uint8List fileBytes = result.files.first.bytes;
  String fileName = result.files.first.name;
  
  // Upload file
  await FirebaseStorage.instance.ref('uploads/$fileName').putData(fileBytes);
}
