I have copied the demo-ng (it wouldn't start after cloning the repo for some reason) and tried to run.

Install plugin:

tns plugin add @nstudio/nativescript-camera-plus
npm install
tns run ion #after connecting a device

Component:

import { Component, NgZone, OnDestroy, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { ImageAsset } from '@nativescript/core/image-asset';

@Component({

    if (flashMode === 'off') {
      this.cam.toggleFlash();

I see the initial screen with 6 buttons, but the console log throws errors about undefined functions.

Any idea what's wrong?

[bradmartin]

Can you log out the e.object and ensure it's the CameraPlus instance?

[srokatonie]

@bradmartin

public camLoaded(e: any): void {
    console.log('***** cam loaded *****');

    console.log(e.object);

    this.cam = e.object as CameraPlus;

    const flashMode = this.cam.getFlashMode();

    // ...

I am getting ProxProxyViewContaineryiew:

CONSOLE LOG file: src/app/pages/progress-pictures/progress-pictures.component.ts:22:16: ***** cam loaded *****

[bradmartin]

k so that does help

CONSOLE LOG file: src/app/pages/progress-pictures/progress-pictures.component.ts:24:16: ProxyViewContainer(104)

is definitely not the CamPlus instance, I forget if the demo does similar, but you need to get the camera instance (which you seem to be aware of that). I think this used to work just fine. Have you registered the element via registerElement in your angular app for this plugin?

[bradmartin]

https://github.com/nstudio/nativescript-camera-plus/blob/master/demo-ng/src/app/app.component.ts#L4

[srokatonie]

Ok, that worked. I've missed registerElement from the demo.

The README could contain a bit more info about the installation:

// iOS setup

// Add to App_Resources/iOS/Info.plist

<key>NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription</key>
<string>This app requires access to the photo library.</string>
<key>NSPhotoLibraryAddUsageDescription</key>
<string>This app requires access to the photo library.</string>

// Angular

// Add in AppComponent

import { CameraPlus } from '@nstudio/nativescript-camera-plus';
import { registerElement } from '@nativescript/angula

I don't mind creating a PR for that?

The demo is also not working, getting an error:

$npm run demo.ng.ios
...
../src/camera-plus.ios.ts:1419:5 - error TS2304: Cannot find name 'CGPointMake'.
1419     CGPointMake(50.61, 23.35)
...

I could look at this later as well.

[bradmartin]

PR appreciated for sure, thanks 👍 - as for the demo warning, we might just need to add skipLibCheck:true to the tsconfig for that project since you normally dont scan node_modules for typing warnings.
