Jonathan Bond-Caron commented on CB-753:
----------------------------------------
Thanks, some more thoughts:
I image that window.device.capabilities = {} would be initially an empty object?
Then the camera plugin when/if loaded would set:
window.device.capabilities.camera = {front: true, back: false};
window.device.capabilities.frontCamera = true;
window.device.capabilities.backCamera = true;
I'd also propose a 'shortcut' (sugar function): window.device.has('camera') ,
window.device.has('frontCamera')
> ER: API to query if device has a camera
> ---------------------------------------
>
> Key: CB-753
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-753
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 1.7.0
> Reporter: Jean-Pierre
> Priority: Minor
>
> Cordova does not offer any API to query the device for its capabilities, so
> one cannot know if it has a camera with which to take a picture without
> attempting to take a picture, falling through the error handler and then
> hard-match the error code -- a pretty poor user experience. i have seen some
> suggestion to check device.camera, but a device may still have a library to
> pull an image from while not having a camera, so that isn't likely helpful.
> there isn't even any way to find the specific hardware revision to match off
> that.
