Using React Hooks + Capacitor to Access Native Mobile APIs
summary
Capacitor compiles an existing React web app into native iOS and Android projects (MIT licensed) and ships plugins for Camera, Filesystem, Geolocation and more. The @capacitor-community/react-hooks package wraps those plugins into React hooks so code reads like useState/useCallback. The demo uses Camera.getPhoto to return a data URL, runs in an iOS simulator, and displays a selected waterfall image — the plugin and hook integration actually work end to end.
