@nativescript/mlkit-core

A plugin that provides a UI component to access the different functionalities of Google's ML Kit SDK.

Installation

npm install @nativescript/mlkit-core

Use @nativescript/mlkit-core

The usage of @nativescript/mlkit-core has the following flow:

Registering and adding MLKitView to your markup.
Setting the detectionType and listening to the detection event.

To access all the vision APIs at once, set the detectionType property to 'all' and identify them in the detection event's handler.

To access a specific API, Barcode scanning for example, set the detectionType property to the API name ('barcode' for Barcode scanning), AND import that API's NativeScript plugin(@nativescript/mlkit-barcode-scanning).

Check if ML Kit is supported To verify if ML Kit is supported on the device, call the static isAvailable() method on MLKitView class.

if(MLKitView.isAvailable()){

}

Request for permission to access the device camera by calling requestCameraPermission():

mlKitView.requestCameraPermission().then(()=>{

})

The following are examples of registering and using MLKitView in the different JS flavors.

Core

Register MLKitView by adding xmlns:ui="@nativescript/mlkit-core" to the Page element.
Use the ui prefix to access MLKitView from the plugin.

<ui:MLKitView
  cameraPosition="back"
   detectionType="all" 
   detection="onDetection"
/>

Angular

In Angular, register the MLKitView by adding MLKitModule to the NgModule of the component where you want to use MLKitView.

import { MLKitModule } from '@nativescript/mlkit-core/angular';

@NgModule({
    imports: [
    MLKitModule
    ],
    declarations: [
        AppComponent
    ],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})

Use MLKitView in markup.

<MLKitView
cameraPosition="back"
detectionType="all" 
(detection)="onDetection($event)"
></MLKitView>

Vue

To use MLKitView, register it in the app.ts by passing it to the use method of the app instance.

import { createApp } from 'nativescript-vue'

import MLKit from '@nativescript/mlkit-core/vue'
import Home from './components/Home.vue';

const app = createApp(Home)

app.use(MLKit)

Use MLKitView in markup.

<MLKitView
cameraPosition="back"
detectionType="all" 
@detection="onDetection"
/>

Vision APIs optional modules

Important: Detection works only for optional modules installed

Barcode Scanning

npm i @nativescript/mlkit-barcode-scanning

import { DetectionType, DetectionEvent } from '@nativescript/mlkit-core';
import { BarcodeResult } from '@nativescript/mlkit-barcode-scanning';
onDetection(event: DetectionEvent){
    if(event.type === DetectionType.Barcode){
        const barcode: BarcodeResult[] = event.data;
    }
}

For more details, see @nativescript/mlkit-barcode-scanning

Face Detection

npm install @nativescript/mlkit-face-detection

import { DetectionType, DetectionEvent } from '@nativescript/mlkit-core';
import { FaceResult } from '@nativescript/mlkit-face-detection';

onDetection(event: DetectionEvent){
    if(event.type === DetectionType.Face){
        const faces: FaceResult[] = event.data;
    }
}

For more details, see @nativescript/mlkit-face-detection

Image Labeling

npm install @nativescript/mlkit-image-labeling

import { DetectionType, DetectionEvent } from '@nativescript/mlkit-core';
import { ImageLabelingResult } from '@nativescript/mlkit-image-labeling';
onDetection(event: DetectionEvent){
    if(event.type === DetectionType.Image){
        const labels: ImageLabelingResult[] = event.data;
    }
}

For more details, see nativescript/mlkit-image-labeling

Object Detection

npm install @nativescript/mlkit-object-detection

import { DetectionType, DetectionEvent } from '@nativescript/mlkit-core';
import { ObjectResult } from '@nativescript/mlkit-object-detection'
onDetection(event: DetectionEvent){
    if(event.type === DetectionType.Object){
        const objects: ObjectResult[] = event.data;
    }
}

For more details, see @nativescript/mlkit-object-detection

Pose Detection

npm install @nativescript/mlkit-pose-detection

import { DetectionType, DetectionEvent } from '@nativescript/mlkit-core';
import { PoseResult } from '@nativescript/mlkit-pose-detection';
onDetection(event: DetectionEvent){
    if(event.type === DetectionType.Pose){
        const poses: PoseResult = event.data;
    }
}

For more details, see @nativescript/mlkit-pose-detection

Text Recognition

npm install @nativescript/mlkit-text-recognition

import { DetectionType, DetectionEvent } from '@nativescript/mlkit-core';
import { TextResult } from '@nativescript/mlkit-text-recognition';
onDetection(event: DetectionEvent){
    if(event.type === DetectionType.Text){
        const text: TextResult = event.data;
    }
}

For more details, see @nativescript/mlkit-text-recognition

API

detectWithStillImage()

import { DetectionType, detectWithStillImage } from "@nativescript/mlkit-core";

async processStill(args) {
        try {
           
            result: { [key: string]: any } = await detectWithStillImage(image: ImageSource, options)
        } catch (e) {
            console.log(e);
        }
    }

Detects barcode, pose, etc from a still image instead of using the camera.

image: The image to detect the object from
options: An optional StillImageDetectionOptions object parameter specifying the detection characteristics.
