Looking to create an Ionic camera preview app, I went ahead and installed @capacitor-community/camera-preview. In the HomePage.ts file, I declared CameraPreview as a Plugin:
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { PluginRegistry, Plugins } from '@capacitor/core';
// eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/naming-convention
const {CameraPreview} = Plugins;
import {CameraPreviewOptions, CameraPreviewPictureOptions} from '@capacitor-community/camera-preview';
import '@capacitor-community/camera-preview';
However, every time I try to deploy the app using ionic serve, I encounter this error message:
Error: node_modules/@capacitor-community/camera-preview/node_modules/@capacitor/core/types/definitions-internal.d.ts:16:18 - error TS2430: Interface 'CapacitorInstance' incorrectly extends interface 'CapacitorGlobal'.
Types of property 'Plugins' are incompatible.
Property 'CameraPreview' is missing in type '{ [pluginName: string]: { [prop: string]: any; }; }' but required in type 'PluginRegistry'.
16 export interface CapacitorInstance extends CapacitorGlobal {
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
node_modules/@capacitor-community/camera-preview/dist/esm/definitions.d.ts:3:9
3 CameraPreview: CameraPreviewPlugin;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'CameraPreview' is declared here.
I attempted to resolve the issue by installing capacitor 3, but unfortunately, it did not fix the problem.
