Configuration

This section will walk you through the configuration process of the Firebase UI Storage

macOS

If you're building for macOS, you will need to add an entitlement for either read-only access if you only upload files:

  <key>com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-only</key>
  <true/>

or read/write access if you want to be able to download files as well:

  <key>com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-write</key>
  <true/>

Make sure to add network client entitlement as well:

<key>com.apple.security.network.client</key>
<true/>

FirebaseUIStorage.configure()

To reduce boilerplate for widgets, FirebaseUIStroage has a top-level configuration:

import 'package:firebase_core/firebase_core.dart';
import 'package:firebase_storage/firebase_storage.dart';
import 'package:firebase_ui_storage/firebase_ui_storage.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

import 'firebase_options.dart';

Future<void> main() async {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();

  await Firebase.initializeApp(options: DefaultFirebaseOptions.currentPlatform);

  final storage = FirebaseStorage.instance;
  final config = FirebaseUIStorageConfiguration(storage: storage);

  await FirebaseUIStorage.configure(config);

  runApp(const MyApp());
}

See API docs for more configuration options.

Overriding configuration

It is possible to override a top-level configuration for a widget subtree:

class MyWidget extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return FirebaseUIStorageConfigOverride(
      config: FirebaseUIStorageConfiguration(
        uploadRoot: storage.ref('${FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser.uid}/'),
        namingPolicy: const UuidFileUploadNamingPolicy(),
        child: const MyUserPage(),
      ),
    );
  }
}

Widgets

UploadButton

class MyUploadPage extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      body: Center(
        child: UploadButton(
          mimeTypes: const ['image/png', 'image/jpeg'],
          onError: (err, stackTrace) {
            print(err.toString());
          },
          onUploadComplete: (ref) {
            print('File uploaded to ${ref.path}');
          }
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}
