# Capacitor Torch Plugin[ΒΆ](#capacitor-torch-plugin "Permanent link")
Capacitor plugin for switching the flashlight on and off.
[  ](https://cloud.capawesome.io/)
## Features[ΒΆ](#features "Permanent link")
The Capacitor Torch plugin is one of the most complete flashlight control solutions for Capacitor apps. Here are some of the key features:
* π₯οΈ **Cross-platform**: Supports Android, iOS, and Web.
* π¦ **Torch control**: Enable, disable, and toggle torch/flashlight.
* β
**Availability check**: Check if torch is available on the device.
* π **Web support**: Uses MediaStream API for web torch control.
* π **Up-to-date**: Always supports the latest Capacitor version.
Missing a feature? Just [open an issue](https://github.com/capawesome-team/capacitor-plugins/issues) and we'll take a look!
## Use Cases[ΒΆ](#use-cases "Permanent link")
The Torch plugin is typically used whenever an app needs to control the device's flashlight, for example:
* **Flashlight features**: Turn the flashlight on and off with a single tap in your app.
* **Barcode and QR code scanning**: Let users enable the torch to scan codes in low-light environments.
* **Document capture**: Improve capture quality in dark surroundings by enabling the torch.
* **Signaling**: Toggle the torch to draw attention, for example as an emergency signal light.
## Compatibility[ΒΆ](#compatibility "Permanent link")
| Plugin Version | Capacitor Version | Status |
| -------------- | ----------------- | -------------- |
| 8.x.x | \>=8.x.x | Active support |
## Installation[ΒΆ](#installation "Permanent link")
You can use our **AI-Assisted Setup** to install the plugin. Add the [Capawesome Skills](https://github.com/capawesome-team/skills) to your AI tool using the following command:
`[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-0-1)npx skills add capawesome-team/skills --skill capacitor-plugins
`
Then use the following prompt:
`` [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-1-1) Use the `capacitor-plugins` skill from `capawesome-team/skills` to install the `@capawesome/capacitor-torch` plugin in my project.
``
If you prefer **Manual Setup**, install the plugin by running the following commands and follow the platform-specific instructions below:
`[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-2-1)npm install @capawesome/capacitor-torch
[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-2-2)npx cap sync
`
### Android[ΒΆ](#android "Permanent link")
#### Permissions[ΒΆ](#permissions "Permanent link")
This API requires the following permissions be added to your `AndroidManifest.xml` before the `application` tag:
`[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-3-1)
[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-3-2)
`
#### Variables[ΒΆ](#variables "Permanent link")
If needed, you can define the following project variable in your appβs `variables.gradle` file to change the default version of the dependency:
* `$androidxCameraCoreVersion` version of `androidx.camera:camera-core` (default: `1.5.2`)
This can be useful if you encounter dependency conflicts with other plugins in your project.
## Configuration[ΒΆ](#configuration "Permanent link")
No configuration required for this plugin.
## Demo[ΒΆ](#demo "Permanent link")
A working example can be found here: [robingenz/capacitor-plugin-demo](https://github.com/robingenz/capacitor-plugin-demo)
## Usage[ΒΆ](#usage "Permanent link")
The following examples show how to check if the torch is available, turn the torch on and off, toggle the torch, and check if the torch is enabled.
### Check if the torch is available[ΒΆ](#check-if-the-torch-is-available "Permanent link")
Not every device has a torch, so check the availability before showing a flashlight control in your UI:
`[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-4-1)import { Torch } from '@capawesome/capacitor-torch';
[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-4-2)
[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-4-3)const isAvailable = async () => {
[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-4-4) const result = await Torch.isAvailable();
[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-4-5) return result.available;
[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-4-6)};
`
### Turn the torch on and off[ΒΆ](#turn-the-torch-on-and-off "Permanent link")
Enable or disable the torch. On Android, these methods require SDK 23 or newer. On the Web, you can optionally pass your own `MediaStream` with a video track via the `stream` option:
`[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-5-1)import { Torch } from '@capawesome/capacitor-torch';
[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-5-2)
[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-5-3)const enable = async () => {
[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-5-4) await Torch.enable();
[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-5-5)};
[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-5-6)
[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-5-7)const disable = async () => {
[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-5-8) await Torch.disable();
[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-5-9)};
`
### Toggle the torch[ΒΆ](#toggle-the-torch "Permanent link")
Switch the torch to the opposite state with a single call:
`[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-6-1)import { Torch } from '@capawesome/capacitor-torch';
[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-6-2)
[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-6-3)const toggle = async () => {
[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-6-4) await Torch.toggle();
[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-6-5)};
`
### Check if the torch is enabled[ΒΆ](#check-if-the-torch-is-enabled "Permanent link")
Read the current state of the torch, for example to display the state in your UI:
`[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-7-1)import { Torch } from '@capawesome/capacitor-torch';
[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-7-2)
[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-7-3)const isEnabled = async () => {
[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-7-4) const result = await Torch.isEnabled();
[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-7-5) return result.enabled;
[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-7-6)};

## FAQ[ΒΆ](#faq "Permanent link")
### Which platforms are supported by this plugin?[ΒΆ](#which-platforms-are-supported-by-this-plugin "Permanent link")
The plugin is available on Android, iOS and Web. On Android, the `enable(...)`, `disable(...)` and `toggle(...)` methods require SDK 23 or newer. On the Web, the plugin uses the MediaStream API to control the torch.
### Why does `isAvailable` return false on my device?[ΒΆ](#why-does-isavailable-return-false-on-my-device "Permanent link")
The `isAvailable()` method reports whether the current device provides a torch. It returns `false` on devices without a torch, for example many tablets or desktop browsers. Use this method to hide or disable your flashlight UI on such devices.
### Do I need any permissions to use this plugin?[ΒΆ](#do-i-need-any-permissions-to-use-this-plugin "Permanent link")
On Android, you need to add the `FLASHLIGHT` permission to your `AndroidManifest.xml` file, see the [Installation](#installation) section. No permissions are required on iOS.
### How does the torch control work on the web?[ΒΆ](#how-does-the-torch-control-work-on-the-web "Permanent link")
The web implementation uses the MediaStream API. You can optionally pass your own `MediaStream` via the `stream` option of `enable(...)`, `disable(...)`, `isEnabled(...)` and `toggle(...)`. The stream must have a video track, and the facing mode of the video track must be the one that corresponds to the torch.
### Can I use this plugin with Ionic, React, Vue or Angular?[ΒΆ](#can-i-use-this-plugin-with-ionic-react-vue-or-angular "Permanent link")
Yes, the plugin is framework-agnostic. It works in any Capacitor app regardless of the web framework, including Ionic with Angular, React, or Vue, as well as plain JavaScript projects.
