How do we install this in an ionic 3 app?

Since there isn't an @ionic-native/camera-with-exif version of this, how do we install this in an ionic 3 app?

Unknown, I don't use Ionic. Anyone ?

I found out how to do it:

1. Remove cordova-plugin-camera if it was previously installed

$ npm uninstall --save @ionic-native/camera
$ ionic cordova plugin remove cordova-plugin-camera

2. Ensure that both cordova-plugin-camera and @ionic-native/camera are removed from package.json.

3. Remove any references to the old Camera object from all your source files.

4. Install the cordova-plugin-camera-with-exif plugin

   $ cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-camera-with-exif

5. Use it as follow:

   
   // Declare the navigator instance
   // The plugin will be injected into this instance
   declare var navigator: any;

// Using the camera const cameraOptions = { quality: 40, destinationType: destinationType, encodingType: navigator.camera.EncodingType.JPEG, mediaType: mediaType, sourceType: sourceType, correctOrientation: true }

launchCamera() { function onSuccess(result) { // convert JSON string to JSON Object var thisResult = JSON.parse(result);

   // convert json_metadata JSON string to JSON Object
   var metadata = JSON.parse(thisResult.json_metadata);
}

function onFail(message) {
    alert('Failed because: ' + message);
}

navigator.camera.getPicture(onSuccess, onFail, cameraOptions);

}

6. Remove and re-add platforms

$ ionic cordova platform remove ios $ ionic cordova platform add ios

7. Build target

$ ionic cordova build ios
