I want to use camera to take pictures through typescript. I know that in javascript, ImageCapture can be used like this:
navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({video: true})
.then(mediaStream => {
document.querySelector('video').srcObject = mediaStream
const track = mediaStream.getVideoTracks()[0];
imageCapture = new ImageCapture(track);
})
.catch(error => console.log(error));
However, when I use this code in typescript, I get an error: Cannot find name 'ImageCapture'.
Why is this happening, is there a replacement for ImageCapture in typescript.
I want to know how to take a photo when using typescript.
In order to use properties from web API, you need to call them like this window.property. As typescript will throw an error on calling window.ImageCapture as a quick solution you can do this
new (window as any).ImageCapture(track);
