Nativescript Share File

npm npm Publish

🚧 Work in progress

This package was forked from the unmaintained package braune-digital/nativescript-share-file. We are currently cleaning up and updating the code.


Send/Share files to other apps.

Android Intent, IOS InteractionController:

.

Installation

Install the plugin in your app.

npm install @finanzritter/nativescript-share-file

Android FileProvider Setup

On Android, you must add a FileProvider definition and specify available files, which is documented here or have a look at the demo app (AndroidManifest.xml and file_paths.xml).

Usage

Info: Shared files should be in the documents path.

import { ShareFile } from '@finanzritter/nativescript-share-file';
import { Observable, knownFolders, path, File } from "@nativescript/core";

export class TestClass extends Observable {
  shareFile;
  fileName;
  documents;
  path;
  file;

  constructor() {
    super();

    this.fileName = 'test.txt';
    this.documents = knownFolders.documents();
    this.path = path.join(this.documents.path, this.fileName);
    this.file = File.fromPath(this.path);

    this.shareFile = new ShareFile();

    this.shareFile.open({
      path: this.path,
      intentTitle: 'Open text file with:', // optional Android
      rect: { // optional iPad
        x: 110,
        y: 110,
        width: 0,
