Capacitor Camera Preview

Capacitor plugin that allows camera interaction from Javascript and HTML (based on cordova-plugin-camera-preview)

Releases are being kept up to date when appropriate. However, this plugin is under constant development. As such it is recommended to use master to always have the latest fixes & features.

PR's are greatly appreciated. Maintainer(s) wanted.
