Handling the Camera Package

The camera is the most common feature found in mobile applications. It is very easy to implement in Expo.

Dependencies

• Install expo-camera using the command:

  expo install expo-camera
  

• Install expo-image-picker using the command:

  expo install expo-image-picker
  

Note: These dependencies are already installed for you at the backend. You don’t need to run these commands.

Usage

The application is a simple camera app with a button to capture the image and an image picker to pick an image from the gallery and display it below the camera.

• The learner will have to open the page in a separate tab because the Output tab is hidden.

• The learner will need to allow camera permissions for the site to open the camera.
