The Camera plugin, available as a camera dependency, allows us to access the device's camera freely. It provides support for both Android and iOS devices. The plugin is open sourced and is hosted on GitHub so that anyone can freely access the code, fix errors, and suggest enhancements to the current version.
The plugin can be used to display the live camera preview on a widget, capture images, and store them locally on a device. It can also be used to record a video. Further more, it has the capability to access the image stream.
The Camera plugin can be added to any application with the following three simple steps:
- Installing the package
- Adding methods for persistent storage and proper execution
- Coding
Let's now discuss each of these steps in detail.
