For use plugin, You shoude an instance of CameraKitController then initial CameraKitView passing CameraKitController instance to it.

   cameraKitController = CameraKitController();
    cameraKitView = CameraKitView(
      cameraKitController: cameraKitController,
      hasBarcodeReader: true,
      barcodeFormat: BarcodeFormats.FORMAT_ALL_FORMATS
      scaleType: ScaleTypeMode.fill,
      previewFlashMode: CameraFlashMode.auto,
      androidCameraMode: AndroidCameraMode.API_X,
      cameraSelector: CameraSelector.back
      onPermissionDenied: () {
          print("Camera permission is denied.");

previewFlashMode: This parameter accepts 3 values, CameraFlashMode.auto, CameraFlashMode.on and CameraFlashMode.off. For changing value after initial use changeFlashMode method in controller.

Take Picture You can take picture with this method. Unlike API_2, in API_X, you can take picture in scaning barcode mode. You can pass your custom path for save image. You can pass nothing and the image will be saved in default path.

  String path = await cameraKitController.takePicture({Your custom path});

Change Flash Mode For changing flash mode, don't change cunstructor parameter. Use changeFlashMode method in controller. Pass CameraFlashMode enum to this method.

    cameraKitController.changeFlashMode(CameraFlashMode.on);
