Implementations

We provide two RecorderProtocol implementations that you can choose from depending on your case. Using them is a bit different but they all share the same functionality from the RecorderProtocol protocol.

• A default implementation called Recorder
• A UIKit-specific implementation called RecorderViewController. It conforms to the recorder protocol by delegating to a Recorder under the hood.

The default recorder

Recorder is the low level implementation that, unlike the others, is detached from the UI. You will typically hold the default instance in the "view model" layer of your app.

let recorder = Recorder(
    audioOptions: ..., 
    videoOptions: ..., 
    uploadParams: ...
)

Attaching to the UI

In order to show the UI you must add the preview layer, Recorder.videoPreviewLayer to some View in your hierarchy:

view.layer.addSublayer(recorder.videoPreviewLayer)

The recorder ViewController

RecorderViewController is a UIKit-based implementation of our recorder protocol, which does what was stated above - adds the preview layer as a child element covering the full size of the controller.

let recorder = RecorderViewController(
    audioOptions: ..., 
    videoOptions: ..., 
    uploadParams: ...
)

After creating the view controller, it can be added to your hierarchy and it will show the camera preview.

SwiftUI

We don't offer any SwiftUI utility at the moment, but it is trivial to implement a SwiftUI recorder based on RecorderViewController using UIViewControllerRepresentable.
