Folder picker #

A directory picker for Flutter

Usage #

A picker page is available as well as a standalone widget.

import 'package:folder_picker/folder_picker.dart';

Navigator.of(context).push<FolderPickerPage>(
   MaterialPageRoute(
      builder: (BuildContext context) {
         return FolderPickerPage(
            rootDirectory: externalDirectory, /// a [Directory] object
            action: (BuildContext context, Directory folder) async {
              print("Picked folder $folder");
            });
}));

To allow directory creation:

final controller = FilexController(path: externalDirectory.path);
FolderPicker(
   rootDirectory: externalDirectory,
   controller: controller
   // ...
)

And then use the controller when you want to create a directory:

controller.createDirectory(name); // name is a String

To get just the widget and not a full page use FolderPicker

• action AfterPickedAction required: the action to perform after picking
