react-html5-camera-photo
The first objective of this package comes from the need to get the same look and feel of a native mobile camera app but with a react component.
For those who want to build with their own css and need an abstraction of getUserMedia() take a look of jslib-html5-camera-photo with react.
Requirement
- react: >=16.8.0
- react-dom: >=16.8.0

Required Working Environment for getUserMedia()
-
https or localhost : The
getUserMedia()method is only available in secure contexts(https or localhost). If a document isn't loaded in a secure context, the navigator.mediaDevices property is undefined, making access to getUserMedia() impossible. Attempting to accessgetUserMedia()in this situation will result in a TypeError. See developer.mozilla.org -
iOS >= 11 WebRTC issue with webkit (Chrome & Firefox) : Apple restricts WebRTC to Safari only so it mean that you can't use the
getUserMedia()with Firefox and Chrome. SogetUserMedia()is not supported yet, for "security reasons". See Stackoverflow

| parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| onTakePhoto(dataUri): | Event function called when a photo is taken. the dataUri is passed as a parameter. |
Minimum ES6 example
1import React from 'react'; 2import Camera from 'react-html5-camera-photo'; 3import 'react-html5-camera-photo/build/css/index.css'; 4 5function App (props) { 6 function handleTakePhoto (dataUri) { 7 // Do stuff with the photo... 8 console.log('takePhoto'); 9 } 10 11 return ( 12 <Camera 13 onTakePhoto = { (dataUri) => { handleTakePhoto(dataUri); } } 14 /> 15 ); 16} 17 18export default App;
API
PropTypes
| Properties | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| onCameraStart(): (optional) | Event | Callback called when the camera is started. | |
| onCameraStop(): (optional) | Event | Callback called when the camera is stopped. | |
| onCameraError(error): (Optional) | Event | Callback called with the error object as parameter when error occur while opening the camera. Often the permission. | |
| onTakePhoto(dataUri): (Optional) | Event | The function called when a photo is taken. the dataUri is passed as a parameter. | |
| onTakePhotoAnimationDone(dataUri): (Optional) | Event | The function called when a photo is taken and the animation is done. the dataUri is passed as a parameter. | |
| idealFacingMode: (Optional) (Dynamic) | String | Browser default | The ideal facing mode of the camera, environment or user. Use FACING_MODES constant to get the right string. Example :. FACING_MODES.ENVIRONMENT or FACING_MODES.USER |
| idealResolution: (Optional) (Dynamic) | Object | Browser default | Object of the ideal resolution of the camera, {width: Integer, height: Integer}. |
| isMaxResolution: (Optional) (Dynamic) | Boolean | false | If is true, the camera will start with his own maximum resolution. |
| isImageMirror: (Optional) | Boolean | true | If is true, the camera image will be mirror. |
| isSilentMode:(Optional) | Boolean | false | If is true, the camera do not play click sound when the photo was taken. |
| isFullscreen: (Optional) | Boolean | false | If is true, the camera image will be set fullscreen to force the maximum width and height of the viewport. |
| isDisplayStartCameraError: (Optional) | Boolean | true | If is true, if the camera start with error, it will show the error between h1 tag on the top of the component. Useful to notify the user about permission error. |
| sizeFactor: (Optional) | Number | 1 | Number of the factor resolution. Example, a sizeFactor of 1 get the same resolution of the camera while sizeFactor of 0.5 get the half resolution of the camera. The sizeFactor can be between range of ]0, 1]. |
| imageType:: (Optional) | String | png | String used to get the desired image type between jpg or png. to specify the imageType use the constant IMAGE_TYPES, for example to specify jpg format use IMAGE_TYPES.JPG. Use IMAGE_TYPES constant to get the right image type Example:. IMAGE_TYPES.JPG or IMAGE_TYPES.PNG |
| imageCompression:: (Optional) | Number | 0.92 | Number used to get the desired compression when jpg is selected. choose a compression between [0, 1], 1 is maximum, 0 is minimum. |
Dynamic : If the prop is dynamic, it mean that you can change that prop dynamically without umount the component (removing it). You can do it by a setState() inside the parent component. Checkout the demo example: ./src/demo/AppWithDynamicProperties.js
Example of closing the camera and image preview after take a photo
Probably the typical usage of using this component is to preview the image and close the camera after take a photo. You can take a look of all the code including the ImagePreview component here : ./src/demo/AppWithImagePreview
1import React, { useState } from 'react'; 2import Camera from 'react-html5-camera-photo'; 3import 'react-html5-camera-photo/build/css/index.css'; 4 5import ImagePreview from './ImagePreview'; // source code : ./src/demo/AppWithImagePreview/ImagePreview 6 7function App (props) { 8 const [dataUri, setDataUri] = useState(''); 9 10 function handleTakePhotoAnimationDone (dataUri) { 11 console.log('takePhoto'); 12 setDataUri(dataUri); 13 } 14 15 const isFullscreen = false; 16 return ( 17 <div> 18 { 19 (dataUri) 20 ? <ImagePreview dataUri={dataUri} 21 isFullscreen={isFullscreen} 22 /> 23 : <Camera onTakePhotoAnimationDone = {handleTakePhotoAnimationDone} 24 isFullscreen={isFullscreen} 25 /> 26 } 27 </div> 28 ); 29} 30 31export default App;
Example with all props used
1import React from 'react'; 2import Camera, { FACING_MODES, IMAGE_TYPES } from 'react-html5-camera-photo'; 3import 'react-html5-camera-photo/build/css/index.css'; 4 5function App (props) { 6 function handleTakePhoto (dataUri) { 7 // Do stuff with the photo... 8 console.log('takePhoto'); 9 } 10 11 function handleTakePhotoAnimationDone (dataUri) { 12 // Do stuff with the photo... 13 console.log('takePhoto'); 14 } 15 16 function handleCameraError (error) { 17 console.log('handleCameraError', error); 18 } 19 20 function handleCameraStart (stream) { 21 console.log('handleCameraStart'); 22 } 23 24 function handleCameraStop () { 25 console.log('handleCameraStop'); 26 } 27 28 return ( 29 <Camera 30 onTakePhoto = { (dataUri) => { handleTakePhoto(dataUri); } } 31 onTakePhotoAnimationDone = { (dataUri) => { handleTakePhotoAnimationDone(dataUri); } } 32 onCameraError = { (error) => { handleCameraError(error); } } 33 idealFacingMode = {FACING_MODES.ENVIRONMENT} 34 idealResolution = {{width: 640, height: 480}} 35 imageType = {IMAGE_TYPES.JPG} 36 imageCompression = {0.97} 37 isMaxResolution = {true} 38 isImageMirror = {false} 39 isSilentMode = {false} 40 isDisplayStartCameraError = {true} 41 isFullscreen = {false} 42 sizeFactor = {1} 43 onCameraStart = { (stream) => { handleCameraStart(stream); } } 44 onCameraStop = { () => { handleCameraStop(); } } 45 /> 46 ); 47} 48 49export default App;
