Create a project: https://developer.deepar.ai/projects.
Add a web app to the project. Note that you need to specify the domain name which you plan to use for hosting the app.

⚠️ Note that license key is only required when deploying to production (non-localhost) domain.

Installation

Using npm:

$ npm install deepar

Using yarn:

$ yarn add deepar

Bundler setup

We recommend using a bundler to correctly include assets like DeepAR effects files.

For example, if using Webpack, add this to your webpack.config.js:

module.exports = {
  // ...
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        include: [
          path.resolve(__dirname, 'effects/'),
        ],
        type: 'asset/resource',
      },
    ],
  },
  // ...

Canvas

DeepAR requires a canvas element for the preview of camera, masks, filters and effects. You can add it directly in the HTML.

<canvas width="1280" height="720"></canvas>

Or you can create it in Javascript.

const canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
canvas.width = 1280;
canvas.height = 720;

⚠️ Note: Be sure to set width and height properties of the canvas!

Or you can create it in Javascript.

let canvas = document.createElement("canvas");

Note: Be sure to set width and height properties of the canvas!

Getting started

There are two main ways to get deepar.js in your JavaScript project: via script tags or by installing it from NPM and using a build tool like Parcel, WebPack, or Rollup.

via Script tag

Add the following code to an HTML file:

<html>
  <head>
    <!-- Load deepar.js -->
    <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/deepar/js/deepar.js"> </script>
    <script>
      const deepAR = await deepar.initialize({
        licenseKey: 'your_license_key_here',
        canvas: document.getElementById('deepar-canvas'),
        effect: 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/deepar/effects/aviators' 
      });
    </script>
  </head>

<body>
  <canvas width="1280" height="720" id="deepar-canvas"></canvas>
</body>
</html>>

via NPM

Add deepar.js to your project using yarn or npm.

Note: Because we use ES2017 syntax (such as import), this workflow assumes you are using a modern browser or a bundler/transpiler to convert your code to something older browsers understand. However, you are free to use any build tool that you prefer.

import * as deepar from 'deepar';
import deeparEffect from './effects/effectFile'

const deepAR = await deepar.initialize({
    licenseKey: 'your_license_key_here',
    canvas: document.getElementById('deepar-canvas'),
    effect: deeparEffect
});

Switch effects

All filters are represented by effect files in DeepAR. You can load them to preview the effect.

Places you can get DeepAR effects:

Download a free filter pack: https://docs.deepar.ai/deep-ar-studio/free-filter-pack.
Visit DeepAR asset store: https://www.store.deepar.ai/
Create your own filters with DeepAR Studio.

Load an effect using the switchEffect method:

deepAR.switchEffect('path/to/effect/alien');

Take screenshot or video

Take a screenshot.

const image = await deepAR.takeScreenshot();

Shoot a video.

deepAR.startVideoRecording();
// Video is now recording...
// When user is ready to stop recording.
const video = await deepAR.finishVideoRecording();

Different video sources

DeepAR will by default use the user facing camera. It will also ask the camera permission from the user.

Use the back camera on the phones:

const deepAR = await deepar.initialize({
  // ...
  additionalOptions: {
      cameraConfig: {
          facingMode: 'environment'
      }
  }
});

Set up your own camera or custom video source:

const deepAR = await deepar.initialize({
  // ...
  additionalOptions: {
      disableDefaultCamera: true
  }
});

// HTMLVideoElement that can contain camera or any video.
const video = ...;

deepAR.setVideoElement(video, true);

Initialize DeepAR but start the camera later. This is used when you do not want to ask the camera permission right away.

const deepAR = await deepar.initialize({
  // ...
  additionalOptions: {
      disableDefaultCamera: true
  }
});

// When you want to ask the camera permission and start the camera.
deepAR.startCamera();
