Need help Plugins

Hello Bubble users!

I am using bubble for quite a while and amaze by how much we can create web application by using this.

however, i am trying to build money lending app. For security reasons, i am yet to learn, is there any way to ask for permission:

  1. gallery: to save photo / video or access their photo / video
  2. camera: to take picture when needed or during sign up the camera automatically capture when they press submit button
  3. contact and call log: to get their saved contact and recent call
  4. location: save the location when they press submit button

I’m fine with any input and suggestion. Please help.

Thank you in advance

You should be able to access all of the above via HTML 5 APIs (except the phone’s contact list)

To be more specific you would need to use the getUserMedia API to access the gallery and camera

To access the location you would need to use the Geolocation API.

But browsers do not allow access to the phone’s contact list as that would be a tremendous security issue

Please note that you will need to use Javascript to use the above, so you would most likely need to make a plugin (or use an existing one if it exists) or use an HTML element to implement the above.

No worries…ask away :slight_smile:

There should be some existing plugins out there which should help you out in your particular use case as what you are wanting is a pretty common use case…but not sure.

Regarding adding Javascript to your bubble app.

I would suggest that you look into the code of some open source Bubble plugins out there to get a feeling of how to make one.
Also the best resource for Javascript Web APIs is generally the Firefox docs which I would suggest you look into.
Also you may want to check out the the content provided by w3schools for the above APIs to get a better understanding of the same.
