Camera.js

A fork from https://github.com/idevelop/camera.js

A wrapper around the HTML5 getUserMedia API, offering cross-browser access to the user's webcam video stream.

Installing / Getting started

Will be soon published on npm registry

npm install --save lfcamera

Here you should say what actually happens when you execute the code above.

Usage

Upon initalization, the library asks the user for permission, sets up the necessary getUserMedia code and starts the stream. All parameters are optional, their default values are explained below.

The onFrame callback function is called each time there is a new frame to be processed, with respect to the fps option.

If you want the video stream to also be rendered in a <canvas> element, set the container option to an element reference.

import Camera from 'lfcamera';

const camera = new Camera({
	width: 160, // default: 640
	height: 120, // default: 480
	fps: 30, // default: 30
	mirror: true,  // default: false
	container: document.getElementById('webcam'), // default: null 

	onFrame: function(canvas) {
		// do something with image data found in the canvas argument
	}, // default: null. Don't set it if you want to use your own intervals to take snapshots
});

camera.init()
    .then(() => {
         // do something when the stream is set up
    })
    .catch((error) => {
        // in case anything happens while setting up the camera
    });
