torch_light

style: lint

A simple Flutter plugin to manage the device torch / flashlight.

Import the library in your Dart code

import 'package:torch_light/torch_light.dart';

Check if the device has an available torch

try {
  final isTorchAvailable = await TorchLight.isTorchAvailable();
} on Exception catch (_) {
  // Handle error
}

Enable/disable torch

Enable and disable the device torch / flash:

try {
  await TorchLight.enableTorch();
} on Exception catch (_) {
  // Handle error
}

try {
  await TorchLight.disableTorch();
} on Exception catch (_) {
  // Handle error
}

If you want further control over the errors, you can declare explicit exceptions:

// Enable torch and manage all kind of errors
try {
  await TorchLight.enableTorch();
} on EnableTorchExistentUserException catch (e) {
  // The camera is in use
} on EnableTorchNotAvailableException catch (e) {
  // Torch was not detected
} on EnableTorchException catch (e) {
  // Torch could not be enabled due to another error
}

// Disable torch and manage all kind of errors
try {
  await TorchLight.disableTorch();
} on DisableTorchExistentUserException catch (e) {
  // The camera is in use
} on DisableTorchNotAvailableException catch (e) {
  // Torch was not detected
} on DisableTorchException catch (e) {
  // Torch could not be disabled due to another error
}

How do I choose a repository?

Start with your use case, compare repository activity, and check the original project before adopting it.

  1. Search by repository name, owner or description, then narrow the results by topic.
  2. Compare stars, forks and recent pushes. Stars show community interest, not a guarantee of quality.
  3. Read the README, license and issues on GitHub before using a project.
