3.1.0 (2023-09-25)

VisionCamera 3.1.0 features a ton of changes including an all new devices API (useCameraDevice(..)), a new formats API (useCameraFormat(..)), USB Cameras support, resizeMode for the Preview, performance improvements, buffer compression, and an all new rewritten documentation!

I spent around 100 hours on this release, so if you appreciate my work please consider 💖 sponsoring me on GitHub or 🍪 buy me a Ko-Fi :)

The new documentation is live at react-native-vision-camera.com.

Warning: There are breaking changes to the device selection APIs. The new Device APIs look like this:

const device = useCameraDevice('back')
const format = useCameraFormat(device, [
  { fps: 60 },
  { videoResolution: 'max' }
])
return <Camera {...props} device={device} />
