Components

CameraScreen

Full screen camera component that holds camera state and provides camera controls

import { CameraScreen } from 'react-native-camera-kit';

<CameraScreen
  actions={{ rightButtonText: 'Done', leftButtonText: 'Cancel' }}
  onBottomButtonPressed={(event) => this.onBottomButtonPressed(event)}
  flashImages={{
    on: require('path/to/image'),
    off: require('path/to/image'),
    auto: require('path/to/image'),
  }}
  cameraFlipImage={require('path/to/image')}
  captureButtonImage={require('path/to/image')}
  torchOnImage={require('path/to/image')}
  torchOffImage={require('path/to/image')}
  hideControls={false} // (default false) optional, hides camera controls
  showCapturedImageCount={false} // (default false) optional, show count for photos taken during that capture session
/>

Barcode / QR Code Scanning

Additionally, the camera screen can be used for barcode scanning

<CameraScreen
  ...
  // Barcode props
  scanBarcode={true}
  onReadCode={(event) => Alert.alert('Qr code found')} //optional
  showFrame={true} //(default false) optional, show frame with transparent layer (qr code or barcode will be read on this area ONLY), start animation for scanner,that stoped when find any code. Frame always at center of the screen
  laserColor='red' // (default red) optional, color of laser in scanner frame
  frameColor='white' // (default white) optional, color of border of scanner frame
/>

Camera

Barebones camera component

import { Camera } from 'react-native-camera-kit';

<Camera
  ref={(ref) => (this.camera = ref)}
  style={{ flex: 1 }}
  cameraType={CameraType.Back} // front/back(default)
/>

Camera Props (Optional)

Props	Type	Description
`flashMode`	`'on'`/`'off'`/`'auto'`	Camera flash mode. Default: `auto`
`focusMode`	`'on'`/`'off'`	Camera focus mode. Default: `on`
`zoomMode`	`'on'`/`'off'`	Enable pinch to zoom camera. Default: `on`
`torchMode`	`'on'`/`'off'`	Toggle flash light when camera is active. Default: `off`
`ratioOverlay`	`['int':'int', ...]`	Show a guiding overlay in the camera preview for the selected ratio. Does not crop image as of v9.0. Example: `['16:9', '1:1', '3:4']`
`ratioOverlayColor`	Color	Any color with alpha. Default: `'#ffffff77'`
`resetFocusTimeout`	Number	iOS only. Dismiss tap to focus after this many milliseconds. Default `0` (disabled). Example: `5000` is 5 seconds.
`resetFocusWhenMotionDetected`	Boolean	iOS only. Dismiss tap to focus when focus area content changes. Native iOS feature, see documentation: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfoundation/avcapturedevice/1624644-subjectareachangemonitoringenabl?language=objc). Default `true`.
`saveToCameraRoll`	Boolean	Using the camera roll is slower than using regular files stored in your app. On an iPhone X in debug mode, on a real phone, we measured around 100-150ms processing time to save to the camera roll. Note: This only work on real devices. It will hang indefinitly on simulators.
`saveToCameraRollWithPhUrl`	Boolean	iOS only. If true, speeds up photo taking by about 5-50ms (measured on iPhone X) by only returning a rn-cameraroll-compatible `ph://..` URL instead of a regular `file://..` URL.

Barcode Props (Optional)

Props	Type	Description
`scanBarcode`	Boolean	Enable barcode scanner. Default: `false`
`showFrame`	Boolean	Show frame in barcode scanner. Default: `false`
`laserColor`	Color	Color of barcode scanner laser visualization. Default: `red`
`frameColor`	Color	Color of barcode scanner frame visualization. Default: `yellow`
`surfaceColor`	Color	Color of barcode scanner surface visualization. Default: `blue`
`onReadCode`	Function	Callback when scanner successfully reads barcode. Returned event contains `codeStringValue`. Default: `null`. Ex: `onReadCode={(event) => console.log(event.nativeEvent.codeStringValue)}`

Imperative API

Note: Must be called on a valid camera ref

capture({ ... })

Capture image ({ saveToCameraRoll: boolean }). Using the camera roll is slower than using regular files stored in your app. On an iPhone X in debug mode, on a real phone, we measured around 100-150ms processing time to save to the camera roll.

const image = await this.camera.capture();

checkDeviceCameraAuthorizationStatus (iOS only)

const isCameraAuthorized = await Camera.checkDeviceCameraAuthorizationStatus();

return values:

AVAuthorizationStatusAuthorized returns true

AVAuthorizationStatusNotDetermined returns -1

otherwise, returns false

requestDeviceCameraAuthorization (iOS only)

const isUserAuthorizedCamera = await Camera.requestDeviceCameraAuthorization();

AVAuthorizationStatusAuthorized returns true

otherwise, returns false
