@capawesome/capacitor-photo-editor

Capacitor plugin that allows the user to edit a photo.

Installation

npm install @capawesome/capacitor-photo-editor
npx cap sync

Android

You need to specify the directories that contain the photos you want to edit. To specify the directories, start by creating the file file_paths.xml in the res/xml/ subdirectory of your project (see Android docs).
This is an example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <files-path name="files" path="." />
    <cache-path name="cache" path="." />
    <external-files-path name="external-files" path="." />
    <external-cache-path name="external-cache" path="." />
    <external-path name="external" path="." />
</paths>

Configuration

No configuration required for this plugin.

Android

Usage

import { PhotoEditor } from '@capawesome/capacitor-photo-editor';

const editPhoto = async () => {
  await PhotoEditor.editPhoto({ path: 'data/image.png' });
};

API

editPhoto(...)

editPhoto(options: EditPhotoOptions) => Promise<void>

Edit a photo at a given path.

Attention: A suitable photo editing app must be installed (e.g. Google Photos) and the user should overwrite the image when saving so that the path to the image is not lost.

Only available on Android.
