`SwiftUI` wrapper of [`PhotoKit`](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/photokit)'s [`PHPickerViewController`](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/photokit/phpickerviewcontroller).  

The majority of the base of the code came from Hacking With Swift's post on this very topic: .

I added support for more than 1 selection, as well as practical extensions, and hope to extend for ease-of-use with [`PhotosPicker`](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/photokit/photospicker), which is only available in iOS 16+.

## To-Do's

- [x] Add support for multiple selections.

- [ ] Add support for selecting other Live Photos (currently only supports standard photos).

- [x] Add support for videos.

  - Currently, this works but requires the developer to use `videoDestination` or `videoDestinationDirectory`. Would it be better to just internally save it to the temporary directory and return that and require that they clean it up after?

- [ ] Rework code to (by default) return `[PHPickerResult]`, then move async mapping code to `async` static function to do separately (or maybe as an extension on `[PHPickerResult]`?)

    - Also add interoperability with native newer `PhotosPicker` (and `PhotosPickerItem`/`Transferable`).

## Usage

```swift

import SwiftUI

import SwiftUIPHPicker

struct ContentView: View {

    @State private var showPicker = false

    

    var body: some View {

        Text("Hello world!")

            .sheet(isPresented: $showPicker) {

                PHPicker(photoLibrary: .shared()) { result in

                    switch result {

                    case .success(let selection):

                        // Process selected assets

                    case .failure(let error):

                        // Deal with error

                    }

                }

                .maxSelectionCount(5)

                .filter(.all(of: [.images, .not(.livePhotos), .videos]))

                .videoDestinationDirectory(DOCUMENT DIRECTORY) /* more code needed for this */

            }

    }

}

```

### Notes

- If you'd like to support video selections, then you *must* use either the `setVideoDestinationDirectory(_:)` or `setVideoDestinationHandler(_:)` view modifier. Without them, there won't be somewhere set to save the video file and the system's temporary file will be be deleted before it's accessible.
