How can I get photo src, from nativescript camera module?
public takePicture() {
cameraModule.takePicture().then(function(picture) {
console.log("Result is an image source instance");
var image = new imageModule.Image();
image.imageSource = picture;
console.dir(picture);
});
}
console.dir output:

I want to upload it to firebase, so i need the src.

Answer 1

To upload to firebase, you need to upload the image via its path:
let imgsrc = this.imageSource.fromNativeSource(data);
let path = this.utils.documentsPath(randomName);
imgsrc.saveToFile(path, this.enums.ImageFormat.png);
this.firebase.uploadFile(path).then((uploadedFile: any) => {
this.appSettings.setString("fileName", uploadedFile.name);
this.router.navigate(['/soundcloud']);
this.LoadingIndicator.hide();
}, (error: any) => {
alert("File upload error: " + error);
});
}, (err: any) => {
alert(err);
});

Figured it out, this works:
public takePicture() {
cameraModule.takePicture().then((picture) => {
var image = new imageModule.Image();
image.imageSource = picture;
let savePath = fs.knownFolders.documents().path;
let fileName = 'img_' + new Date().getTime() + '_' + this.currentUserId.getValue() + '.' + enumsModule.ImageFormat.jpeg;
let filePath = fs.path.join( savePath, fileName );
picture.saveToFile(filePath, enumsModule.ImageFormat.jpeg);
this.photoService.uploadImage(filePath, fileName).then((data) => {
this._router.navigate(["/upload", fileName, this.currentUserId.getValue()]);
});
});
}
