How to save Image in String to Realm from UIImagePickerController? - ios

Question

PickerController class, where I create the UIImagePickerController:
public protocol ImagePickerDelegate: class {
func didSelect(image: UIImage?)
}
open class ImagePicker: NSObject {
private let pickerController: UIImagePickerController
private weak var presentationController: UIViewController?
private weak var delegate: ImagePickerDelegate?
public init(presentationController: UIViewController, delegate: ImagePickerDelegate) {
self.pickerController = UIImagePickerController()
super.init()
self.presentationController = presentationController
self.delegate = delegate
self.pickerController.delegate = self
self.pickerController.allowsEditing = true
self.pickerController.mediaTypes = ["public.image"]
}
private func action(for type: UIImagePickerController.SourceType, title: String) -> UIAlertAction? {
guard UIImagePickerController.isSourceTypeAvailable(type) else {
return nil
}
return UIAlertAction(title: title, style: .default) { [unowned self] _ in
self.pickerController.sourceType = type
self.presentationController?.present(self.pickerController, animated: true)
}
}
public func present(from sourceView: UIView) {
let alertController = UIAlertController(title: nil, message: nil, preferredStyle: .actionSheet)
if let action = self.action(for: .camera, title: "Сделать фото") {
alertController.addAction(action)
}
if let action = self.action(for: .photoLibrary, title: "Выбрать из галереи") {
alertController.addAction(action)
}
alertController.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .cancel, handler: nil))
if UIDevice.current.userInterfaceIdiom == .pad {
alertController.popoverPresentationController?.sourceView = sourceView
alertController.popoverPresentationController?.sourceRect = sourceView.bounds
alertController.popoverPresentationController?.permittedArrowDirections = [.down, .up]
}
self.presentationController?.present(alertController, animated: true)
}
private func pickerController(_ controller: UIImagePickerController, didSelect image: UIImage?) {
controller.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
self.delegate?.didSelect(image: image)
}
}
extension ImagePicker: UIImagePickerControllerDelegate {
public func imagePickerControllerDidCancel(_ picker: UIImagePickerController) {
self.pickerController(picker, didSelect: nil)
}
public func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController,
didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [UIImagePickerController.InfoKey: Any]) {
guard let image = info[.editedImage] as? UIImage else {
return self.pickerController(picker, didSelect: nil)
}
self.pickerController(picker, didSelect: image)
}
}
extension ImagePicker: UINavigationControllerDelegate {
}
I guess, in didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo i should do something, but don't understand what exactly
class, where i work with pickerController:
class AddPlaneImageController: AddPlaneImageView {
var imagePicker: ImagePicker!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
self.imagePicker = ImagePicker(presentationController: self, delegate: self)
}
#IBAction func showImagePicker(_ sender: UIButton) {
self.imagePicker.present(from: sender)
}
#IBAction func saveButton(_ sender: Any) {
RealmModel.shared.addPlaneImage(planeImage: "", aircompany: "") // here I'm supposed to save this image as String to Realm
}
}
extension AddPlaneImageController: ImagePickerDelegate {
func didSelect(image: UIImage?) {
self.planeImage.image = image
}
}
So, basically I don't understand, how I can turn UIImage() into String() and save it as String() too. I marked in the code, where I am supposed to do it
