takePicture method

Future<CaptureImageModel> takePicture({ bool includeExif = false, })

Captures a picture using the active camera and returns the file. If the camera controller is not initialized, this function will throw an error

• includeExif - if this true, the model will return exifData

Implementation

  }

  final newFile = File(xFile.path);
  Map<String, IfdTag>? exifData;
  if (includeExif) {
    try {
      exifData = await readExifFromFile(newFile);
    } catch (e) {
      log("failed to fetch exif data: $e");
    }
  }
  if (Platform.isIOS) return CaptureImageModel(file: newFile, exifData: exifData);
  final imageBytes = await xFile.readAsBytes();
  image_lib.Image? originalImage;
  try {

  }
  if (originalImage == null) return CaptureImageModel(file: newFile, exifData: exifData);
  if (cameraLensDirection == CameraLensDirection.back) return CaptureImageModel(file: newFile, exifData: exifData);
  final fixedImage = image_lib.flipHorizontal(originalImage);
