In this post, I am telling you, how to access webcam into our angular 10 application and its features and we can also take photos and in my next post, I will you, how to make video recording in angular 10 application.
Here is the code snippet and please follow carefully:
1. Very first, here are common basics steps to add angular 11 application on your machine:
npm install -g @angular/cli ng new angularwebcam // Set Angular11 Application on your pc cd angularwebcam // Go inside project folder ng serve // Run project http://localhost:4200/ //Check working Local server
2. Now run below command into your terminal to include ngx webcam package into your angular 10 application:
npm i ngx-webcam
3. Now add below code into your app.module.ts file:
... import {WebcamModule} from 'ngx-webcam'; ... imports: [ ... WebcamModule ]
4. Now add below code into your app.component.ts file:
... import {WebcamImage} from 'ngx-webcam'; import {Subject, Observable} from 'rxjs'; ... export class AppComponent { ... // latest snapshot public webcamImage: WebcamImage = null; // webcam snapshot trigger private trigger: Subject<void> = new Subject<void>(); triggerSnapshot(): void { this.trigger.next(); } handleImage(webcamImage: WebcamImage): void { console.info('received webcam image', webcamImage); this.webcamImage = webcamImage; } public get triggerObservable(): Observable<void> { return this.trigger.asObservable(); } }
5. Finally here is the code for app.component.html file:
<webcam [height]="500" [width]="500" [trigger]="triggerObservable" (imageCapture)="handleImage($event)"></webcam> <!-- Button Takes Photo --> <button class="actionBtn" (click)="triggerSnapshot();">Take A Snapshot</button> <!-- Snapshot Div where image will be shown --> <div class="snapshot" *ngIf="webcamImage"> <h2>Take your image or get another</h2> <img [src]="webcamImage.imageAsDataUrl"/> </div>
