Capacitor: Cross-platform apps with JavaScript and the web
@capacitor/ios is a package that allows you to build native iOS applications using web technologies. It provides a bridge between your web code and native iOS functionalities, enabling you to access native device features such as the camera, geolocation, and more.
Accessing Device Camera
This feature allows you to access the device's camera to take pictures. The code sample demonstrates how to use the Camera plugin to capture a photo and log its URI.
const { Camera } = require('@capacitor/camera');
async function takePicture() {
const image = await Camera.getPhoto({
quality: 90,
allowEditing: false,
resultType: CameraResultType.Uri
});
console.log('Image URI:', image.webPath);
}
Geolocation
This feature allows you to access the device's geolocation services to get the current position. The code sample demonstrates how to use the Geolocation plugin to retrieve and log the current coordinates.
const { Geolocation } = require('@capacitor/geolocation');
async function getCurrentPosition() {
const coordinates = await Geolocation.getCurrentPosition();
console.log('Current position:', coordinates);
}
Push Notifications
This feature allows you to handle push notifications. The code sample demonstrates how to register for push notifications and set up listeners for registration success and receiving notifications.
const { PushNotifications } = require('@capacitor/push-notifications');
PushNotifications.register();
PushNotifications.addListener('registration', (token) => {
console.log('Push registration success, token:', token.value);
});
PushNotifications.addListener('pushNotificationReceived', (notification) => {
console.log('Push received:', notification);
});
