Upload Image File to Firebase Storage using Flutter

Introduction

Before we start implementing Firebase Storage, we should be aware of what Firebase Storage is. So, Firebase Storage is a cloud storage solution provided by Google which uploads and downloads user content like images, audio, video, PDF, etc. from Android, iOS devices or from the web. It has the capability to scale automatically as per the customer’s requirement. You can define user-specific security using security rules and the upload and download manager which handles a poor internet connection, and you do not need to keep track of activities.

Note - This article is one of the parts of our series on chat apps in Flutter using Firebase. Our chat app series is one of the best examples to make chat apps in Flutter using Google Firebase. If you are interested in the chat app, you can check out my whole series. So, let’s implement it.

In this example, we will create a simple app to upload the user-selected image uploaded to Firebase Storage and show it uploaded on the same screen.

End Result

Firebase Project Setup Steps

Step 1

The first and most basic step is to create a new application in Flutter. If you are a beginner in Flutter, then you can check my post, Create a first app in Flutter. I have created an app named “flutter_chat_app”.

Step 2

Now, you need to set up a project in Google Firebase. Follow the below steps for that. Please follow the steps very carefully.

  • Go here and add a new project. I will share the screenshot so you will get a better idea.

  • Click on “Add Project” to add a new project in Google Firebase. Then, you will find the below form.

  • Give a project name and accept the terms and condition and click on “Create Project”. It will take some time to create a new project and redirect you to the “Project Overview” page.

  • Now, you need to add an Android app in this project. You can add new Android project by clicking on the Android icon. You can also add iOS project if you want to create an iOS application for the same.

  • In Project Overview, add an Android app. It will open a new form.

  • Android package name can be found in the AndroidManifest.xml file in the Android/App folder of your project.

  • App nickname is optional.

  • For SHA-1 generation, go here.

  • In step 2, download google-service.json and put in Android => App folder of your project

  • In step 3, you can see you need to configure some dependencies.

Project-level build.gradle (/build.gradle): means build.gradle file in Android folder directly,

buildscript {    
 dependencies {    
 // Add this line    
 classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.2.0'    
 }    
}

App-level build.gradle (//build.gradle): means build.gradle file in Android = > App folder

// Add to the bottom of the file    
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services’

Note We don’t need to add implementation ‘com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.9’ in dependencies

  • In Step 4 it will try to verify your app. For that, you need to run your app once or you can skip this step.

  • Hooray :) Your android app has been created.

Step 3

Now, select Storage option from the left menu of the Firebase project and get started with Storage.

Step 4

Change the security rules for storage. For that go to the Rules tab and place the below code.

Note Here, you can define your security rules to restrict unauthorized access.

rules_version = '2';    
service firebase.storage {    
  match /b/{bucket}/o {    
    match /{allPaths=**} {    
      allow read, write;    
    }    
  }    
}

Step 5

I have created 2 folders, chats and profiles. Chats will store chat related images and profiles will store a profile image of the user. Please check the below screenshot.

Step 6

Great. We are all done with Firebase Project Setup. Now we will move to programming path.

Programming Steps

Step 1

As we have created a project in the first step of Firebase Project Setup, we need to add the dependency to select an image from the device and upload to firebase storage. For that open pubspec.yaml file in the root of the project and add dependency like below.

dependencies:    
 flutter:    
   sdk: flutter    
 cupertino_icons: ^0.1.2    
 image_picker: ^0.6.0+17    
 firebase_storage: ^3.0.3

Note Run Flutter packages that you can get in terminal OR If you are using Visual Studio Code then after saving the file it will automatically run the Flutter packages get command.

Step 2

Now, open main.dart file under lib folder. This is the entry point of the app.

Step 3

Import the following packages for choosing image and uploading image file to firebase storage.

    import 'dart:io';    
    import 'package:firebase_storage/firebase_storage.dart'; // For File Upload To Firestore    
    import 'package:flutter/material.dart';    
    import 'package:image_picker/image_picker.dart'; // For Image Picker    
    import 'package:path/path.dart' as Path;

Step 4

Define the state variable in state class. _image variable stores the file which is selected using file picker and uploadedFileURL will stores the uploaded file url.

File _image;    
String _uploadedFileURL;

Step 5

Create an architecture for the sample project. Following is the build method which implements the architecture.


    @override    
     Widget build(BuildContext context) {    
       return Scaffold(    
         appBar: AppBar(    
           title: Text('Firestore File Upload'),    
         ),    
         body: Center(    
           child: Column(    
             children: <Widget>[    
               Text('Selected Image'),    
               _image != null    
                   ? Image.asset(    
                       _image.path,    
                       height: 150,    
                     )    
                   : Container(height: 150),    
               _image == null    
                   ? RaisedButton(    
                       child: Text('Choose File'),    
                       onPressed: chooseFile,    
                       color: Colors.cyan,    
                     )    
                   : Container(),    
               _image != null    
                   ? RaisedButton(    
                       child: Text('Upload File'),    
                       onPressed: uploadFile,    
                       color: Colors.cyan,    
                     )    
                   : Container(),    
               _image != null    
                   ? RaisedButton(    
                       child: Text('Clear Selection'),    
                       onPressed: clearSelection,    
                     )    
                   : Container(),    
               Text('Uploaded Image'),    
               _uploadedFileURL != null    
                   ? Image.network(    
                       _uploadedFileURL,    
                       height: 150,    
                     )    
                   : Container(),    
             ],    
           ),    
         ),    
       );

Step 6

chooseFile() will ask the user for access to the media file permission and if the user allows it, then choose the image from the image gallery.

Future chooseFile() async {    
   await ImagePicker.pickImage(source: ImageSource.gallery).then((image) {    
     setState(() {    
       _image = image;    
     });    
   });    
 }

Step 7

uploadFile() will upload the chosen file to the Google Firebase Firestore in the chats folder and return the uploaded file URL.

Future uploadFile() async {    
   StorageReference storageReference = FirebaseStorage.instance    
       .ref()    
       .child('chats/${Path.basename(_image.path)}}');    
   StorageUploadTask uploadTask = storageReference.putFile(_image);    
   await uploadTask.onComplete;    
   print('File Uploaded');    
   storageReference.getDownloadURL().then((fileURL) {    
     setState(() {    
       _uploadedFileURL = fileURL;    
     });    
   });    
 }

Step 8

Congratulations, you are all done with File Upload to Firebase Storage with Flutter. For Full source code check out my attached source file.

NOTE PLEASE CHECK OUT GIT REPO FOR FULL SOURCE CODE. YOU NEED TO ADD YOUR google-services.json FILE IN ANDROID => APP FOLDER.

EasyMDE: Simple, Beautiful and Embeddable JavaScript Markdown Editor

EasyMDE - Markdown Editor 

This repository is a fork of SimpleMDE, made by Sparksuite. Go to the dedicated section for more information.

A drop-in JavaScript text area replacement for writing beautiful and understandable Markdown. EasyMDE allows users who may be less experienced with Markdown to use familiar toolbar buttons and shortcuts.

In addition, the syntax is rendered while editing to clearly show the expected result. Headings are larger, emphasized words are italicized, links are underlined, etc.

EasyMDE also features both built-in auto saving and spell checking. The editor is entirely customizable, from theming to toolbar buttons and javascript hooks.

  • imageAccept: A comma-separated list of mime-types used to check image type before upload (note: never trust client, always check file types at server-side). Defaults to image/png, image/jpeg.
  • imageUploadFunction: A custom function for handling the image upload. Using this function will render the options imageMaxSize, imageAccept, imageUploadEndpoint and imageCSRFToken ineffective.
    • The function gets a file and onSuccess and onError callback functions as parameters. onSuccess(imageUrl: string) and onError(errorMessage: string)
  • imageUploadEndpoint: The endpoint where the images data will be sent, via an asynchronous POST request. The server is supposed to save this image, and return a JSON response.
    • if the request was successfully processed (HTTP 200 OK): {"data": {"filePath": "<filePath>"}} where filePath is the path of the image (absolute if imagePathAbsolute is set to true, relative if otherwise);
    • otherwise: {"error": "<errorCode>"}, where errorCode can be noFileGiven (HTTP 400 Bad Request), typeNotAllowed (HTTP 415 Unsupported Media Type), fileTooLarge (HTTP 413 Payload Too Large) or importError (see errorMessages below). If errorCode is not one of the errorMessages, it is alerted unchanged to the user. This allows for server-side error messages. No default value.

  • imageTexts: Texts displayed to the user (mainly on the status bar) for the import image feature, where #image_name#, #image_size# and #image_max_size# will replaced by their respective values, that can be used for customization or internationalization:
    • sbInit: Status message displayed initially if uploadImage is set to true. Defaults to Attach files by drag and dropping or pasting from clipboard..
    • sbOnDragEnter: Status message displayed when the user drags a file to the text area. Defaults to Drop image to upload it..
    • sbOnDrop: Status message displayed when the user drops a file in the text area. Defaults to Uploading images #images_names#.
    • sbProgress: Status message displayed to show uploading progress. Defaults to Uploading #file_name#: #progress#%.
    • sbOnUploaded: Status message displayed when the image has been uploaded. Defaults to Uploaded #image_name#.
    • sizeUnits: A comma-separated list of units used to display messages with human-readable file sizes. Defaults to B, KB, MB (example: 218 KB). You can use B,KB,MB instead if you prefer without whitespaces (218KB).
  • errorMessages: Errors displayed to the user, using the errorCallback option, where #image_name#, #image_size# and #image_max_size# will replaced by their respective values, that can be used for customization or internationalization:
    • noFileGiven: The server did not receive any file from the user. Defaults to You must select a file..
    • typeNotAllowed: The user send a file type which doesn't match the imageAccept list, or the server returned this error code. Defaults to This image type is not allowed..
    • fileTooLarge: The size of the image being imported is bigger than the imageMaxSize, or if the server returned this error code. Defaults to Image #image_name# is too big (#image_size#).\nMaximum file size is #image_max_size#..
    • importError: An unexpected error occurred when uploading the image. Defaults to Something went wrong when uploading the image #image_name#..
  • errorCallback: A callback function used to define how to display an error message. Defaults to (errorMessage) => alert(errorMessage).
  • renderingConfig: Adjust settings for parsing the Markdown during previewing (not editing).
    • codeSyntaxHighlighting: If set to true, will highlight using highlight.js. Defaults to false. To use this feature you must include highlight.js on your page or pass in using the hljs option. For example, include the script and the CSS files like:
      <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/highlight.js/latest/highlight.min.js"></script>
      <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/highlight.js/latest/styles/github.min.css">
    • hljs: An injectible instance of highlight.js. If you don't want to rely on the global namespace (window.hljs), you can provide an instance here. Defaults to undefined.
    • markedOptions: Set the internal Markdown renderer's options. Other renderingConfig options will take precedence.
    • singleLineBreaks: If set to false, disable parsing GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) single line breaks. Defaults to true.

            el.innerHTML = `${keystrokes} Keystrokes`;
            el.setAttribute('data-keystrokes', keystrokes);
        },

});

Toolbar icons

Below are the built-in toolbar icons (only some of which are enabled by default), which can be reorganized however you like. "Name" is the name of the icon, referenced in the JavaScript. "Action" is either a function or a URL to open. "Class" is the class given to the icon. "Tooltip" is the small tooltip that appears via the title="" attribute. Note that shortcut hints are added automatically and reflect the specified action if it has a key bind assigned to it (i.e. with the value of action set to bold and that of tooltip set to Bold, the final text the user will see would be "Bold (Ctrl-B)").

Additionally, you can add a separator between any icons by adding "|" to the toolbar array.

Toolbar customization

Customize the toolbar using the toolbar option.

Only the order of existing buttons:

const easyMDE = new EasyMDE({
    toolbar: ["bold", "italic", "heading", "|", "quote"]
});

All information and/or add your own icons

const easyMDE = new EasyMDE({
    toolbar: [
        {
            name: "bold",
            action: EasyMDE.toggleBold,
            className: "fa fa-bold",
            title: "Bold",
        },
        "italics", // shortcut to pre-made button
        {
            name: "custom",
            action: (editor) => {
                // Add your own code
            },
            className: "fa fa-star",
            title: "Custom Button",
            attributes: { // for custom attributes
                id: "custom-id",
                "data-value": "custom value" // HTML5 data-* attributes need to be enclosed in quotation marks ("") because of the dash (-) in its name.
            }
        },
        "|" // Separator
        // [, ...]
    ]
});

Put some buttons on dropdown menu

const easyMDE = new EasyMDE({
    toolbar: [{
                name: "heading",
                action: EasyMDE.toggleHeadingSmaller,
                className: "fa fa-header",
                title: "Headers",
            },
            "|",
            {
                name: "others",
                className: "fa fa-blind",
                title: "others buttons",
                children: [
                    {
                        name: "image",
                        action: EasyMDE.drawImage,
                        className: "fa fa-picture-o",
                        title: "Image",
                    },
                    {
                        name: "quote",
                        action: EasyMDE.toggleBlockquote,
                        className: "fa fa-percent",
                        title: "Quote",
                    },
                    {
                        name: "link",
                        action: EasyMDE.drawLink,
                        className: "fa fa-link",
                        title: "Link",
                    }
                ]
            },
        // [, ...]
    ]
});

Keyboard shortcuts

EasyMDE comes with an array of predefined keyboard shortcuts, but they can be altered with a configuration option. The list of default ones is as follows:

Shortcut (Windows / Linux)Shortcut (macOS)Action
Ctrl-'Cmd-'"toggleBlockquote"
Ctrl-BCmd-B"toggleBold"
Ctrl-ECmd-E"cleanBlock"
Ctrl-HCmd-H"toggleHeadingSmaller"
Ctrl-ICmd-I"toggleItalic"
Ctrl-KCmd-K"drawLink"
Ctrl-LCmd-L"toggleUnorderedList"
Ctrl-PCmd-P"togglePreview"
Ctrl-Alt-CCmd-Alt-C"toggleCodeBlock"
Ctrl-Alt-ICmd-Alt-I"drawImage"
Ctrl-Alt-LCmd-Alt-L"toggleOrderedList"
Shift-Ctrl-HShift-Cmd-H"toggleHeadingBigger"
F9F9"toggleSideBySide"
F11F11"toggleFullScreen"

Here is how you can change a few, while leaving others untouched:

const editor = new EasyMDE({
    shortcuts: {
        "toggleOrderedList": "Ctrl-Alt-K", // alter the shortcut for toggleOrderedList
        "toggleCodeBlock": null, // unbind Ctrl-Alt-C
        "drawTable": "Cmd-Alt-T", // bind Cmd-Alt-T to drawTable action, which doesn't come with a default shortcut
    }
});

Shortcuts are automatically converted between platforms. If you define a shortcut as "Cmd-B", on PC that shortcut will be changed to "Ctrl-B". Conversely, a shortcut defined as "Ctrl-B" will become "Cmd-B" for Mac users.

The list of actions that can be bound is the same as the list of built-in actions available for toolbar buttons.

Advanced use

Event handling

You can catch the following list of events: https://codemirror.net/doc/manual.html#events

const easyMDE = new EasyMDE();
easyMDE.codemirror.on("change", () => {
    console.log(easyMDE.value());
});

Removing EasyMDE from text area

You can revert to the initial text area by calling the toTextArea method. Note that this clears up the autosave (if enabled) associated with it. The text area will retain any text from the destroyed EasyMDE instance.

const easyMDE = new EasyMDE();
// ...
easyMDE.toTextArea();
easyMDE = null;

If you need to remove registered event listeners (when the editor is not needed anymore), call easyMDE.cleanup().

Useful methods

The following self-explanatory methods may be of use while developing with EasyMDE.

const easyMDE = new EasyMDE();
easyMDE.isPreviewActive(); // returns boolean
easyMDE.isSideBySideActive(); // returns boolean
easyMDE.isFullscreenActive(); // returns boolean
easyMDE.clearAutosavedValue(); // no returned value

How it works

EasyMDE is a continuation of SimpleMDE.

SimpleMDE began as an improvement of lepture's Editor project, but has now taken on an identity of its own. It is bundled with CodeMirror and depends on Font Awesome.

CodeMirror is the backbone of the project and parses much of the Markdown syntax as it's being written. This allows us to add styles to the Markdown that's being written. Additionally, a toolbar and status bar have been added to the top and bottom, respectively. Previews are rendered by Marked using GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM).

SimpleMDE fork

I originally made this fork to implement FontAwesome 5 compatibility into SimpleMDE. When that was done I submitted a pull request, which has not been accepted yet. This, and the project being inactive since May 2017, triggered me to make more changes and try to put new life into the project.

Changes include:

  • FontAwesome 5 compatibility
  • Guide button works when editor is in preview mode
  • Links are now https:// by default
  • Small styling changes
  • Support for Node 8 and beyond
  • Lots of refactored code
  • Links in preview will open in a new tab by default
  • TypeScript support

My intention is to continue development on this project, improving it and keeping it alive.

Hacking EasyMDE

You may want to edit this library to adapt its behavior to your needs. This can be done in some quick steps:

  1. Follow the prerequisites and installation instructions in the contribution guide;
  2. Do your changes;
  3. Run gulp command, which will generate files: dist/easymde.min.css and dist/easymde.min.js;
  4. Copy-paste those files to your code base, and you are done.

Google's Flutter 1.20 stable announced with new features - Navoki

Flutter Google cross-platform UI framework has released a new version 1.20 stable.

Flutter is Google’s UI framework to make apps for Android, iOS, Web, Windows, Mac, Linux, and Fuchsia OS. Since the last 2 years, the flutter Framework has already achieved popularity among mobile developers to develop Android and iOS apps. In the last few releases, Flutter also added the support of making web applications and desktop applications.

Last month they introduced the support of the Linux desktop app that can be distributed through Canonical Snap Store(Snapcraft), this enables the developers to publish there Linux desktop app for their users and publish on Snap Store.  If you want to learn how to Publish Flutter Desktop app in Snap Store that here is the tutorial.

Flutter 1.20 Framework is built on Google’s made Dart programming language that is a cross-platform language providing native performance, new UI widgets, and other more features for the developer usage.

Here are the few key points of this release:

Performance improvements for Flutter and Dart

In this release, they have got multiple performance improvements in the Dart language itself. A new improvement is to reduce the app size in the release versions of the app. Another performance improvement is to reduce junk in the display of app animation by using the warm-up phase.

sksl_warm-up

If your app is junk information during the first run then the Skia Shading Language shader provides for pre-compilation as part of your app’s build. This can speed it up by more than 2x.

Added a better support of mouse cursors for web and desktop flutter app,. Now many widgets will show cursor on top of them or you can specify the type of supported cursor you want.

Autofill for mobile text fields

Autofill was already supported in native applications now its been added to the Flutter SDK. Now prefilled information stored by your OS can be used for autofill in the application. This feature will be available soon on the flutter web.

flutter_autofill

A new widget for interaction

InteractiveViewer is a new widget design for common interactions in your app like pan, zoom drag and drop for resizing the widget. Informations on this you can check more on this API documentation where you can try this widget on the DartPad. In this release, drag-drop has more features added like you can know precisely where the drop happened and get the position.

Updated Material Slider, RangeSlider, TimePicker, and DatePicker

In this new release, there are many pre-existing widgets that were updated to match the latest material guidelines, these updates include better interaction with Slider and RangeSlider, DatePicker with support for date range and time picker with the new style.

flutter_DatePicker

New pubspec.yaml format

Other than these widget updates there is some update within the project also like in pubspec.yaml file format. If you are a flutter plugin publisher then your old pubspec.yaml  is no longer supported to publish a plugin as the older format does not specify for which platform plugin you are making. All existing plugin will continue to work with flutter apps but you should make a plugin update as soon as possible.

Preview of embedded Dart DevTools in Visual Studio Code

Visual Studio code flutter extension got an update in this release. You get a preview of new features where you can analyze that Dev tools in your coding workspace. Enable this feature in your vs code by _dart.previewEmbeddedDevTools_setting. Dart DevTools menu you can choose your favorite page embed on your code workspace.

Network tracking

The updated the Dev tools comes with the network page that enables network profiling. You can track the timings and other information like status and content type of your** network calls** within your app. You can also monitor gRPC traffic.

Generate type-safe platform channels for platform interop

Pigeon is a command-line tool that will generate types of safe platform channels without adding additional dependencies. With this instead of manually matching method strings on platform channel and serializing arguments, you can invoke native class and pass nonprimitive data objects by directly calling the Dartmethod.

There is still a long list of updates in the new version of Flutter 1.2 that we cannot cover in this blog. You can get more details you can visit the official site to know more. Also, you can subscribe to the Navoki newsletter to get updates on these features and upcoming new updates and lessons. In upcoming new versions, we might see more new features and improvements.

You can get more free Flutter tutorials you can follow these courses:
