Plugin configuration

You can configure react-native-face-detector-camera using built-in config plugin. This plugin allows you to change camera permission message that cannot be set at runtime and require you to build a new binary to take effect.

Example:

{
  "expo": {
    ...,
    "plugins": [
      ["react-native-face-detector-camera",{
          "cameraPermission": "Allow $(PRODUCT_NAME) to access your camera"
      }]
    ]
  }
}

💡 Usage

import {
  useEffect,
  useRef
} from 'react'
import {
  StyleSheet,
  View
} from 'react-native'
import {
  CameraView,
  useCameraPermissions,
  FaceDetectorMode,
  FaceDetectorClassifications,
  FaceDetectionResult
} from 'react-native-face-detector-camera'

function App() {
  const [
    status,
    requestPermission
  ] = useCameraPermissions()
  const camera = useRef<CameraView>( null )

  useEffect( () => {
    ( async () => {
      if ( status?.granted ) return
      await requestPermission()
    } )()
  }, [ status ] )

  function processFaceDetection( {
    faces
  }: FaceDetectionResult ) {
    console.log( 'faces', faces )
    if ( faces.length <= 0 ) return

    const {
      size,
      origin
    } = faces[ 0 ].bounds
    
    // handle face position on screen
    if( 
      // size.width|height >= ...
      // size.width|height <= ...
      // origin.x >= ...
      // origin.x <= ...
      // origin.y >= ...
      // origin.y <= ...
     ) {
      handleTakePicture()
    }
  }

  function handleTakePicture() {
    if ( !camera.current ) {
      console.log( 'camera ref is not valid' )
      return
    }

    camera.current.takePictureAsync( {
      skipProcessing: true,
      onPictureSaved: ( async ( {
        uri
      } ) => {
        console.log( 'picture saved event', uri )
      } )
    } )
  }

  return (
    <View
      style={ StyleSheet.absoluteFill }
    >
      <CameraView
          ref={ camera }
          style={ StyleSheet.absoluteFill }
          facing={ 'front' }
          onCameraReady={ () => { console.log( 'camera is ready' ) } }
          onMountError={ () => { console.log( 'camera mount error' ) } }
          faceDetectorSettings={ {
            mode: FaceDetectorMode.fast,
            runClassifications: FaceDetectorClassifications.all,
            minDetectionInterval: 200
          } }
          onFacesDetected={ processFaceDetection }
        />
    </View>
  )
}
