Using file picker component in SharePoint Framework Web Part
I don't think there is a ready-to-use component for it. If you'd like to use it, you'd need to build it yourself using the building blocks from Office UI Fabric.
Waldek Mastykarz are there any plans from Microsoft to release a file picker ( Asset Picker ) component anytime in the future?
in Classic SharePoint there was an already component that we can just utilize.
I don't know of any plans to release a first party component, but if I had to make a bet, I'd say that it's a reasonable request for the Reusable React controls for SPFx solutions or Reusable SPFx property pane controls.
Are all the standard web parts that ship on Modern Pages, "1st party" components and therefore not open source? What is the standard and best practice approach for extending the 1st party components in this case? Understandably a use case for creating a uniform user experience would be to have the same file picker utility for various custom web parts, but as it stands that does not seem possible.
