Capacitor: source: CameraSource only supports Camera on PWA

[lolaswift]

source: CameraSource.Prompt and CameraSource.Photos have no effect on browser. It always opens my webcam instead of poping up the actionsheet or image picker. I tried the example https://github.com/ionic-team/capacitor/tree/master/example/src/pages/camera. All buttons opened my webcam directly. The plugin worked on ios&android simulator as expected.

[ljieyao]

[jcesarmobile]

Edited to also cover CameraSource.Photos

[kevinclarkneudesic]

Looking forward to this, but the Webcam piece is working great!

It would be great to have an update regarding this issue/request.

Hi @Bktechmasala,
The video you've posted has nothing to do with the source: CameraSource.Photos setting.

Thank you anyway.

[kensodemann]

A person that I am working with is also requesting. Any information regarding where this is on the backlog would be helpful so I can communicate that information back to them.

[Indrajeetsing]

Yea right now it only supports clicking image from camera. Regardless of sourcetype . For work around I have created a popup and for capturing images i'm using capacitor and for choosing image i'm using normal input type file upload

@mlynch will #1856 solve this problem? if so, when will it merge into it?

[AntoninBeaufort]

I hope this will solve the problem and that it will be merge soon, for me it's more important on the web to have a file selector rather than a webcam.

In my case users take pictures outdoors with their smartphone so if they put pictures from a computer it will be from a file selector.

Hello all. Thanks @mlynch

I can see all the work for input selector on camera, but I have no idea how to integrate it into my project.

So far I use the HTML5 option.
Thanks
