nativescript-advanced-permissions

This Plugin is a wrap around Nathanael's nativescript-permissions plugin, while providing IOS Permissions with a matching API.

Installation

Describe your plugin installation steps. Ideally it would be something like:

tns plugin add nativescript-advanced-permissions

Usage

Right now to request the Camera Permissions, we use it like this

    
    import { hasCameraPermission, requestCameraPermission } from 'nativescript-advanced-permissions/camera';
 
    // also supports 'nativescript-advanced-permissions/files';
    // also supports 'nativescript-advanced-permissions/calendar';
    // also supports 'nativescript-advanced-permissions/location';
 
 
    if( !hasCameraPermission() ) {
        requestCameraPermission().then((hasPermission) => {
            if( hasPermission ) {
                // do something cool
            } else {
                // don't do something
            }
        });
    }
 

API

this plugin has been split into smaller 'sub-modules', which when use give access to the specified permissions.

the sub-modules that we currently include are : files, calendar, location, camera

and for each sub-module we follow the same naming convention: requestXPermission/hasXPermission where x is the capitalised sub-module name.

Camera Module

            if( hasPermission ) {
                // do something cool
