How to pick image from gallery in SwiftUI

Question

I tried to make a SwiftUI class that conforms to UIViewRepresentable and implements makeUIView and updateUIView. But not able to complete it.Here is code :

Code:

struct ImagePicker : UIViewRepresentable {

@Binding var image: UIImage

class Coordinator: NSObject, UIImagePickerControllerDelegate, UINavigationControllerDelegate {

    @Binding var image: UIImage

    init(image: Binding<UIImage>) {
        $image = image
    }

    func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [UIImagePickerController.InfoKey : Any]) {


        if let possibleImage = info[.editedImage] as? UIImage {
            image = possibleImage
        } else if let possibleImage = info[.originalImage] as? UIImage {
            image = possibleImage
        } else {

        }
    }
}

func makeCoordinator() -> Coordinator {
    return Coordinator(image: $image)
}

func makeUIView(context: UIViewRepresentableContext<ImagePicker>) -> UIImageView {
    let imageview = UIImageView()
    let picker = UIImagePickerController()
    picker.delegate = context.coordinator
    return imageview
}

func updateUIView(_ uiView: UIImageView,
                  context: UIViewRepresentableContext<ImagePicker>) {
    uiView.image = image
}

}

I tried imagePicker as control but unable to use.

I am using presentationMode here, to check for the view that is it presenting or not?

By using this you can dismiss() the UIImagePickerController.

Sample code for SwiftUI preview:

import SwiftUI

struct ContentView: View {

    @State var isShowPicker: Bool = false
    @State var image: Image? = Image("placeholder")

    var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
            ZStack {
                VStack {
                    image?
                        .resizable()
                        .scaledToFit()
                        .frame(height: 320)
                    Button(action: {
                        withAnimation {
                            self.isShowPicker.toggle()
                        }
                    }) {
                        Image(systemName: "photo")
                            .font(.headline)
                        Text("IMPORT").font(.headline)
                    }.foregroundColor(.black)
                    Spacer()
                }
            }
            .sheet(isPresented: $isShowPicker) {
                ImagePicker(image: self.$image)
            }
            .navigationBarTitle("Pick Image")
        }
    }
}


struct ImagePicker: UIViewControllerRepresentable {

    @Environment(\.presentationMode)
    var presentationMode

    @Binding var image: Image?

    class Coordinator: NSObject, UINavigationControllerDelegate, UIImagePickerControllerDelegate {

        @Binding var presentationMode: PresentationMode
        @Binding var image: Image?

        init(presentationMode: Binding<PresentationMode>, image: Binding<Image?>) {
            _presentationMode = presentationMode
            _image = image
        }

        func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController,
                                   didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [UIImagePickerController.InfoKey : Any]) {
            let uiImage = info[UIImagePickerController.InfoKey.originalImage] as! UIImage
            image = Image(uiImage: uiImage)
            presentationMode.dismiss()

        }

        func imagePickerControllerDidCancel(_ picker: UIImagePickerController) {
            presentationMode.dismiss()
        }

    }

    func makeCoordinator() -> Coordinator {
        return Coordinator(presentationMode: presentationMode, image: $image)
    }

    func makeUIViewController(context: UIViewControllerRepresentableContext<ImagePicker>) -> UIImagePickerController {
        let picker = UIImagePickerController()
        picker.delegate = context.coordinator
        return picker
    }

    func updateUIViewController(_ uiViewController: UIImagePickerController,
                                context: UIViewControllerRepresentableContext<ImagePicker>) {

    }

}


struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
    static var previews: some View {
        NavigationView {
            ContentView()
        }
    }
}
