# React Instagram Photo Picker

Allow users to pick photos from their Instagram profile in easy way.

Implementing Instagram API may be difficult for some developers, that is why I have created this module.

It is clear and fast way to implement nice looking (and working) photo picker for Instagram photos in your React application.

Component is using instagram-web-oauth module for authorization.

First of all go to Instagram Developer Console and create your app.

After creating app go to: Manage Clients -> Manage -> Security.

Some important notes:

Disable implicit OAuth - must be unchecked, otherwise we will not be able to use Implicit flow!
Valid redirect URIs - To make thing easier I hardcoded endpoint that my module is using.

Just add instagram_auth to URI in which you will be using my module.

For example your redirect URI can look like this: http://localhost:3000/instagram_auth.

Also, save clientID because it will be needed in component.

Demo

Install module:

npm i -s react-instagram-photo-picker

Import module:

import InstagramPhotoPicker from 'react-instagram-photo-picker';

Add to your render method:

<InstagramPhotoPicker
  onPhotosPicked={photos => console.warn(photos)}
  ref={ref => this.instaDialog = ref}
  clientId={instagram_client_id}
/>

To show dialog, simply call:

this.instaDialog.showDialog();
// or if you want to hide:
this.instaDialog.hideDialog();

You can also get all downloaded images:

this.instaDialog.getInstagramImages();

I hope that you will find this module useful, also if you have any problems or questions please let me know, I will be more than happy to help you :)
