phase: 03-images
plan: 03
subsystem: images
tags: [camera, getUserMedia, mediaDevices, photo-capture, mobile]
# Dependency graph
requires:
- phase: 03-02
provides: uploadImage form action for photo upload
provides:
- CameraCapture modal component with getUserMedia
- Photo capture via canvas.toBlob
- Feature detection and graceful fallback
affects: [03-04-gallery-display]
# Tech tracking
tech-stack:
added: []
patterns: [getUserMedia for camera access, canvas.toBlob for photo capture, feature detection for graceful fallback]
key-files:
created:
- src/lib/components/CameraCapture.svelte
modified: []
key-decisions:
- "JPEG output at 0.9 quality for captured photos"
- "Default to back camera (environment) for mobile paper note photos"
- "Stop camera stream immediately after capture to save battery"
- "Feature detection before attempting getUserMedia"
- "10 second timeout to prevent indefinite loading state"
patterns-established:
- "Camera modal: full-screen black background with centered preview"
- "Capture flow: live preview -> capture -> review -> retake/confirm"
- "Error handling: hasCameraSupport, isSecureContext, NotAllowedError, NotFoundError"

# Phase 03 Plan 03: Camera Capture Summary
**Full-screen camera modal with getUserMedia, photo capture via canvas.toBlob, and comprehensive feature detection**
## Performance
- **Duration:** 2 min
- **Started:** 2026-01-29T14:26:55Z
- **Completed:** 2026-01-29T14:28:23Z
- **Tasks:** 2
- **Files created:** 1
## Accomplishments
- CameraCapture modal component with live camera preview
- Photo capture using canvas.toBlob (JPEG at 0.9 quality)
- Preview captured photo with retake/confirm options
- Camera stream properly stopped on close and after capture
- Front/back camera switching for mobile devices
- Comprehensive feature detection and error handling
- Upload integration via fetch to ?/uploadImage action
## Task Commits
Each task was committed atomically:
1. **Task 1: CameraCapture component with getUserMedia** - `8248e0c` (feat)
- Task 2 (feature detection) was implemented within Task 1 as the functionality was integrated
## Files Created/Modified
- `src/lib/components/CameraCapture.svelte` - Full camera capture modal component (313 lines)
## Key Functions Implemented
- `startCamera()` - Initialize camera stream with getUserMedia
- `stopCamera()` - Clean up camera stream and video element
- `capturePhoto()` - Capture frame to canvas and convert to blob
- `retake()` - Clear capture and restart camera
- `confirmAndUpload()` - Upload captured photo to server
- `switchCamera()` - Toggle between front and back camera
- `handleClose()` - Clean shutdown with proper cleanup
## Feature Detection
- `hasCameraSupport` - Check for navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia
- `isSecureContext` - Verify HTTPS (required for camera except localhost)
- `NotAllowedError` - Camera permission denied by user
- `NotFoundError` - No camera available on device
- 10 second timeout - Prevent indefinite loading state
## Decisions Made
- **JPEG at 0.9 quality:** Balance between file size and quality for uploaded photos
- **Default back camera:** Most users will photograph paper notes, back camera is more useful
- **Stop camera after capture:** Save battery while user reviews photo
- **Full-screen modal:** Typical camera UI pattern, black background
## Deviations from Plan
**Task 2 merged into Task 1:** All feature detection and error handling was implemented as part of Task 1 since it made more sense to build the complete component with proper error handling from the start rather than retrofitting it.
## Issues Encountered
None.
## User Setup Required
None - no external service configuration required.
## Next Phase Readiness
- CameraCapture component ready for integration into entry detail view (03-04)
- Works with uploadImage action from 03-02
- Proper cleanup prevents camera indicator from staying on
