Getting started

Before we start, make sure to get all required dependencies :

flutter pub get;

Now, you can import the camera widget :

import 'package:flutter_camera_widget/cameraWidget.dart';

Usage

Before we can use the Camera widget, make sure to have a list of all available cameras, by adding these lines :

import 'package:camera/camera.dart' as camera;

List<camera.CameraDescription> cameras = [];

// some cool code you want to add here...

Future<void> main() async {
    WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
    cameras = await availableCameras(); // you have now all your available cameras in the list !
}

To use the Camera widget, use :

Camera(
    cameras: cameras,
);

Now you can see that there is nothing more than a camera, and the photo mode doesn't even save to gallery ! This is because all parameters have been set to false.

For a more functionnal Camera widget, you can add parameters :

Camera(
    cameras: cameras,
    flash: true, // displays flash icon on top to enable/disable flash.
    video: true,
    focus: true,
    zoom: true, 
    resolution: ResolutionPreset.high,
    saveToGalleryOnCapture: true,
    backgroundColor: Colors.black,
    primaryColor: Colors.blue,
    accentColor: Colors.greenAccent,
    showCapturedMedias: true,
)
