## ð Quick Start
### Installation
```kotlin
// build.gradle.kts
dependencies {
implementation("io.github.vinceglb:filekit-core:$version")
implementation("io.github.vinceglb:filekit-dialogs:$version")
implementation("io.github.vinceglb:filekit-dialogs-compose:$version")
implementation("io.github.vinceglb:filekit-coil:$version")
}
```
Follow the [installation guide](https://filekit.mintlify.app/installation) to learn how to install and setup FileKit in your project.
### Usage Examples
```kotlin
// Pick a file
val file = FileKit.openFilePicker()
// Pick multiple files
val files = FileKit.openFilePicker(mode = FileKitMode.Multiple())
// Pick only images
val imageFile = FileKit.openFilePicker(type = FileKitType.Image)
// Pick a directory
val directory = FileKit.openDirectoryPicker()
// Save a file
val contentToSave = "Hello FileKit!"
val file = FileKit.openFileSaver(suggestedName = "document", extension = "txt")
file?.writeString(contentToSave)
// Work with files
val myFile = FileKit.filesDir / "document.pdf"
println(myFile.name)
println(myFile.size())
myFile.writeString("Hello, World!")
// Image operations
val compressedBytes = FileKit.compressImage(
bytes = imageFile.readBytes(),
quality = 80,
maxWidth = 1024,
maxHeight = 1024
)
```
See the [quickstart guide](https://filekit.mintlify.app/quickstart) to learn more about the different file operations and utilities available in FileKit.
## ðĶ Modular Structure
FileKit is designed to be modular, allowing you to include only what you need:
- **FileKit Core**: Basic file operations and the `PlatformFile` abstraction
- **FileKit Dialogs**: File pickers and save dialogs
- **FileKit Dialogs Compose**: Compose Multiplatform integration
- **FileKit Coil**: Integration with Coil for image loading
