+FilePicker
+==========
+
+This component opens a native file picker when its children are clicked on.
+It is a very thin wrapper around
+[`component/file-picker`](https://github.com/component/file-picker)
+
+#### How to use:
+
+```js
+var FilePicker = require( 'components/file-picker' );
+
+render: function() {
+	return (
+		<FilePicker multiple accept="image/*" onPick={ console.log.bind(console) } >
+			<a href="#">Select a few images!</a>
+		</FilePicker>
+	);
+}
+```
+
+#### Props
+
+* `multiple`: (bool) Allow selecting multiple files (Defaults to `false`).
+* `directory`: (bool) Allow selecting of a directory (Defaults to `false`).
+* `accept`: (string) Content type MIME to accept. Wildcards (`*`) are supported.
+* `onPick`: (func) Function to call when the user has selected one or more files.
+
