Two methods to implement the photo-taking function in mobile H5
Here are several methods to implement the mobile H5 photo-taking function:
Use <input type="file"> in the HTML5 specification to call the system camera and select the taken photo. However, this method may cause the page to refresh.
Code for implementing mobile H5 photo-taking function:
- Create an <input type="file"> in HTML:
1
<``input
`type=
- Bind the change event to the element in JavaScript and read the selected image file:

var
input = document.querySelector(``"input[type=file]"``);
input.addEventListener(``"change"``,
function``(e) {`
var
file = e.target.files[0];
var
reader =
new
FileReader();
reader.onload =
function``(e) {
var
dataURL = e.target.result;
// Perform operations on dataURL here, such as displaying an image
};
reader.readAsDataURL(file);
});
The method of using <input type="file"> to implement the mobile H5 camera function is simple and easy to understand, but it may cause page refresh issues.
Access the camera through WebRTC technology, that is, access the camera through the MediaDevices.getUserMedia() API in the HTML5 specification, and implement the photo-taking function.
WebRTC is a set of APIs that enable real-time communication capabilities in browsers, including access to the camera and microphone. If you want to implement a photo-taking feature in a mobile H5 application, you can use the WebRTC API to access the camera and achieve the photo-taking functionality.
Use the MediaDevices.getUserMedia() API in the WebRTC API to implement the mobile H5 photo-taking function. This API allows you to access the user's camera and microphone, enabling the photo-taking feature. Please note that you need to request permission from the user to access the camera, and it must be run on a website with HTTPS protocol.

<button id=``"startbutton"``>Take photo</button>
<video id=``"video"``></video>
`<canvas id=``
<script>
// Get video and canvas elements
const video = document.querySelector(``'#video'``);
const canvas = document.querySelector(``'#canvas'``);
const startButton = document.querySelector(``'#startbutton'``);
// Start the camera
async
function
startCamera() {
const stream = await navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({
video:
true
});
video.srcObject = stream;
video.play();
}
// Take a photo
function
takePhoto() {
canvas.width = video.videoWidth;
canvas.height = video.videoHeight;
canvas.getContext(``'2d'``).drawImage(video, 0, 0);
}
// Start the camera
startCamera();
// Bind the photo-taking event to the button
startButton.addEventListener(``'click'``, takePhoto);
</script>
By using the MediaDevices.getUserMedia() API, you can avoid refresh issues and enable your H5 application to have a photo-taking feature. The MediaDevices.getUserMedia() API is only available on supported browsers and requires user permission to access the camera.
In addition, if you need to implement complex image processing in H5, you can use JavaScript libraries such as fabric.js, p5.js, or Three.js. These libraries can help you achieve complex image processing more easily without having to manually write complex code.
Using the WebRTC API to implement the mobile H5 photo-taking function requires a deep understanding of the WebRTC API and appropriate error handling to ensure it works properly across different browsers and mobile devices.
