## Project description
api.video's Flutter uploader uploads videos to api.video using delegated upload token or API Key.
It allows you to upload videos in two ways:
- standard upload: to send a whole video file in one go
- progressive upload: to send a video file by chunks, without needing to know the final size of the
video file
## Getting started
### Installation
Run this command:
```bash
flutter pub add video_uploader
```
This will add the following lines to your package's pubspec.yaml file:
``` yaml
dependencies:
video_uploader: ^1.2.1
```
### Android
#### Permissions
Permissions `android.permission.READ_MEDIA_VIDEO` (for API 33+)
or `android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` (for API < 33) will be requested by this library at
runtime.
The uploader comes with a notification to show the progress. So if your application targets Android
33+, you might request `android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS` permission at runtime.
When targeting Android API Level 34+, you must declare the service type in your application's manifest file.
In your `AndroidManifest.xml` file, add the following lines in the `
` tag:
```xml
```
#### Notifications
To customize the notification to your own brand, you can change the icon, color or channel name by
overwriting the following resources in your own application resources:
- the icon: `R.drawable.ic_upload_notification`
- the color: `R.color.upload_notification_color`
- the channel name: `R.string.upload_notification_channel_name`
### Code sample
```dart
import 'package:video_uploader/video_uploader.dart';
var video = await ApiVideoUploader.uploadWithUploadToken("YOUR_UPLOAD_TOKEN", "path/to/my-video.mp4");
```
