Native Essentials
Six small but commonly needed Capacitor plugins. Each gets one focused reference; install only what you actually use.
When to consult
- Camera (
@capacitor/camera) — take photos / pick from gallery: camera.md
- Filesystem (
@capacitor/filesystem) — read / write files in app sandbox: filesystem.md
- Share (
@capacitor/share) — native share sheet: share.md
- Haptics (
@capacitor/haptics) — taps, vibrations, impact feedback: haptics.md
- Network (
@capacitor/network) — connection status + offline UX: network.md
- Keyboard (
@capacitor/keyboard) — show/hide / resize behavior on focus: keyboard.md
Hard rules
- ✅ Install only the plugins you use — don't install all six "just in case." Each adds binary size.
- ✅ Run
npx cap sync after every plugin install.
- ✅ Add the relevant
Info.plist permission strings for plugins that need them (Camera = NSCameraUsageDescription, Filesystem with photo library access = NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription).
- ❌ Don't request permissions on launch — request when the user invokes the feature (tap "Take photo", not on app start).
