## Installation (RN > 0.60) ```bash yarn add react-native-camera-kit ``` ```bash cd ios && pod install && cd .. ``` Android: [Add Kotlin to your project](./docs/kotlin.md) ## Permissions #### Android Add the following uses-permission to your `AndroidManifest.xml` (usually found at: `android/src/main/`) ```java ``` #### iOS Add the following usage descriptions to your `Info.plist` (usually found at: `ios/PROJECT_NAME/`) ```xml NSCameraUsageDescription For taking photos NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription For saving photos ``` ## Running the example project - `yarn bootstrap` - `yarn example ios` or `yarn example android` ## Components ### CameraScreen Full screen camera component that holds camera state and provides camera controls ```ts import { CameraScreen } from 'react-native-camera-kit'; ``` ```tsx this.onBottomButtonPressed(event)} flashImages={{ // optional, images for flash state on: require('path/to/image'), off: require('path/to/image'), auto: require('path/to/image'), }} cameraFlipImage={require('path/to/image')} // optional, image for flipping camera button captureButtonImage={require('path/to/image')} // optional, image capture button torchOnImage={require('path/to/image')} // optional, image for toggling on flash light torchOffImage={require('path/to/image')} // optional, image for toggling off flash light hideControls={false} // (default false) optional, hides camera controls showCapturedImageCount={false} // (default false) optional, show count for photos taken during that capture session /> ``` #### Barcode / QR Code Scanning Additionally, the camera screen can be used for barcode scanning ```tsx Alert.alert('QR code found')} // optional showFrame={true} // (default false) optional, show frame with transparent layer (qr code or barcode will be read on this area ONLY), start animation for scanner,that stoped when find any code. Frame always at center of the screen laserColor='red' // (default red) optional, color of laser in scanner frame frameColor='white' // (default white) optional, color of border of scanner frame /> ``` ### Camera Barebones camera component ```ts import { Camera, CameraType } from 'react-native-camera-kit'; ``` ```tsx (this.camera = ref)} cameraType={CameraType.Back} // front/back(default) /> ``` ### Camera Props (Optional) | Props | Type | Description | | ------------------------------ | ----------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `flashMode` | `'on'`/`'off'`/`'auto'` | Camera flash mode. Default: `auto` | | `focusMode` | `'on'`/`'off'` | Camera focus mode. Default: `on` | | `zoomMode` | `'on'`/`'off'` | Enable pinch to zoom camera. Default: `on` | | `torchMode` | `'on'`/`'off'` | Toggle flash light when camera is active. Default: `off` | | `ratioOverlay` | `['int':'int', ...]` | Show a guiding overlay in the camera preview for the selected ratio. Does not crop image as of v9.0. Example: `['16:9', '1:1', '3:4']` | | `ratioOverlayColor` | Color | Any color with alpha. Default: `'#ffffff77'` | | `resetFocusTimeout` | Number | iOS only. Dismiss tap to focus after this many milliseconds. Default `0` (disabled). Example: `5000` is 5 seconds. | | `resetFocusWhenMotionDetected` | Boolean | iOS only. Dismiss tap to focus when focus area content changes. Native iOS feature, see documentation: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfoundation/avcapturedevice/1624644-subjectareachangemonitoringenabl?language=objc). Default `true`. | | `saveToCameraRoll` | Boolean | Using the camera roll is slower than using regular files stored in your app. On an iPhone X in debug mode, on a real phone, we measured around 100-150ms processing time to save to the camera roll. _**Note:** This only work on real devices. It will hang indefinitly on simulators._ | | `saveToCameraRollWithPhUrl` | Boolean | iOS only. If true, speeds up photo taking by about 5-50ms (measured on iPhone X) by only returning a [rn-cameraroll-compatible](https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-cameraroll/blob/a09af08f0a46a98b29f6ad470e59d3dc627864a2/ios/RNCAssetsLibraryRequestHandler.m#L36) `ph://..` URL instead of a regular `file://..` URL. | | | `onOrientationChange` | Function | Callback when physical device orientation changes. Returned event contains `orientation`. Ex: `onOrientationChange={(event) => console.log(event.nativeEvent.orientation)}`. Use `import { Orientation } from 'react-native-camera-kit'; if (event.nativeEvent.orientation === Orientation.PORTRAIT) { ... }` to understand the new value | ### Barcode Props (Optional) | Props | Type | Description | | -------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `scanBarcode` | Boolean | Enable barcode scanner. Default: `false` | | `showFrame` | Boolean | Show frame in barcode scanner. Default: `false` | | `laserColor` | Color | Color of barcode scanner laser visualization. Default: `red` | | `frameColor` | Color | Color of barcode scanner frame visualization. Default: `yellow` | | `surfaceColor` | Color | Color of barcode scanner surface visualization. Default: `blue` | | `onReadCode` | Function | Callback when scanner successfully reads barcode. Returned event contains `codeStringValue`. Default: `null`. Ex: `onReadCode={(event) => console.log(event.nativeEvent.codeStringValue)}` | ### Imperative API _Note: Must be called on a valid camera ref_ #### capture({ ... }) Capture image (`{ saveToCameraRoll: boolean }`). Using the camera roll is slower than using regular files stored in your app. On an iPhone X in debug mode, on a real phone, we measured around 100-150ms processing time to save to the camera roll. ```ts const image = await this.camera.capture(); ``` #### checkDeviceCameraAuthorizationStatus (iOS only) ```ts const isCameraAuthorized = await Camera.checkDeviceCameraAuthorizationStatus(); ``` return values: `AVAuthorizationStatusAuthorized` returns `true` `AVAuthorizationStatusNotDetermined` returns `-1` otherwise, returns `false` #### requestDeviceCameraAuthorization (iOS only) ```ts const isUserAuthorizedCamera = await Camera.requestDeviceCameraAuthorization(); ``` `AVAuthorizationStatusAuthorized` returns `true` otherwise, returns `false` ## Contributing - Pull Requests are welcome, if you open a pull request we will do our best to get to it in a timely manner - Pull Request Reviews are even more welcome! we need help testing, reviewing, and updating open PRs - If you are interested in contributing more actively, please contact us. ## License The MIT License.
