Is the Photoviewer only for Cordova projects?

[Th-Barth]

Hi, when I click on an image, I get the error message:

Native: tried calling PhotoViewer.show, but Cordova is not available. Make sure to include cordova.js or run in a device/simulator

I have an Ionic 6, Angular, Capacitor App and I am trying to implement this photoviewer plugin

I followed these steps https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/photo-viewer https://github.com/sarriaroman/photoviewer npm i com-sarriaroman-photoviewer npm install --save @ionic-native/photo-viewer

The the Ionic extension for Visual Studio Code said I had to migrate to awesome cordova plugins

` [Ionic] Replace @ionic-native/photo-viewer...

npm install @awesome-cordova-plugins/photo-viewer --save-exact && npm uninstall @ionic-native/photo-viewer [Ionic] @ionic-native/photo-viewer Completed.

[Ionic] Install...

npm install @awesome-cordova-plugins/core --save-exact

Installed @awesome-cordova-plugins/core [Ionic] @awesome-cordova-plugins/core Completed. `

In the code with the showPhoto() method

` import { PhotoViewer } from '@awesome-cordova-plugins/photo-viewer';

var photooptions = { share: true, // default is false closeButton: false, // default is true copyToReference: true, // default is false headers: '', // If this is not provided, an exception will be triggered piccasoOptions: { } // If this is not provided, an exception will be triggered };

showPhoto(image) { console.log("image clicked", image); PhotoViewer.show(image, 'Photo', photooptions); } `

The error message says: "Make sure to include cordova.js" How? Will this mess up my project?

The photoviewer works on my android device. Ok, I didnt know that Cordova is only for ios/android devices and not for the browser. Are there plans to make it available for Capacitor as well?

You should try this Capacitor plugin https://github.com/capacitor-community/photoviewer

Hi, your comment comes at the right time. Today I wanted to start the app on my smartphone after long time and I get an depricated gradle build error:

Unfortunately I get an error when installating this photoviewer, not compatible with capacitor 4:

Hmm, it's a @capacitor/core dependency conflict. Try to force the installation. npm install @capacitor-community/photoviewer --force I tested on web with Capacitor 4 and it worked. For iOS and Android the installation has extra steps: https://github.com/capacitor-community/photoviewer#installation

I installed the packages with --force and tried it for web, but I dont get to see the images as desribes here https://github.com/capacitor-community/photoviewer/blob/main/docs/Ionic-Angular-Usage.md

I only get the toast message: "echo Hello from PhotoViewer" called in the ngAfterViewInit-Method. But the urls to the images are valid!

I dont understand this photoviewer, so I cant use it. I just wish a Photoviewer to fullscreen images by one tap, that can be part of chat messages.
