Getting started with Capacitor is fairly straight forward for Ionic developers. Adding plugins to your project is no different than adding any dependencies you may need to a project.

Install

To install a plugin, find the plugin you want to use and install it using your package manager, like npm:

# Install the Capacitor Plugins
$ npm install @capacitor/camera

Usage

Once installed, plugins can be imported into a component and you can call the native functionality directly from your code.

Using the Camera plugin as an example, first install it:

JavaScript
Angular
Vue
React

import { Camera, CameraResultType } from '@capacitor/camera';

const takePicture = async () => {
  const image = await Camera.getPhoto({
    quality: 90,
    allowEditing: true,
    resultType: CameraResultType.Uri
  });
  const imageUrl = image.webPath;
  imageElement.src = imageUrl;
};

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { Camera, CameraResultType } from '@capacitor/camera';

@Component({...})
export class CameraComponent{
  public imageSrc: string | undefined = '';

  async takePicture() {
    const image = await Camera.getPhoto({
      quality: 90,
      allowEditing: true,
      resultType: CameraResultType.Uri
    });
    const imageUrl = image.webPath;
    this.imageSrc = imageUrl;
  };
}


<template>
...
</template>

<script setup lang="typescript">
import { ref } from 'vue';
import { Camera, CameraResultType } from '@capacitor/camera';
const imageSrc = ref<string | undefined>('');

const takePicture = async () => {
  const image = await Camera.getPhoto({
    quality: 90,
    allowEditing: true,
    resultType: CameraResultType.Uri
  });
  const imageUrl = image.webPath;
  imageSrc.value = imageUrl;
};

</script>

import { Camera, CameraResultType } from '@capacitor/camera';
import { useState } from 'react';

export function CameraComponent() {
  const [imageSrc, setImageSrc] = useState<string | undefined>('');

  const takePicture = async () => {
    const image = await Camera.getPhoto({
      quality: 90,
      allowEditing: true,
      resultType: CameraResultType.Uri
    });
    const imageUrl = image.webPath;
    setImageSrc(imageUrl);
  };
  return (...)
}
