Look up the nosmai_effects_sdk 1.0.3 preview widget, lifecycle, effects, Cloud Filters, beauty, media, and output APIs.

Entry points

APIPurpose
NosmaiFlutter.initialize(licenseKey)Initializes the native SDK once and returns whether startup was accepted
NosmaiFlutter.instanceShared operational API after initialization
NosmaiCameraPreviewNative camera preview for processed camera output
NosmaiCameraPreviewControllerReinitializes an attached preview when explicit recovery is required
NosmaiCameraLifecycleMixinCoordinates cleanup with Flutter application lifecycle

Camera lifecycle

Use configureCamera, startProcessing, stopProcessing, switchCamera, pauseCamera, resumeCamera, detachCameraView, reinitializePreview, and cleanup. Await asynchronous operations and keep only one mounted preview. NosmaiCameraPreview starts the native view through the supported widget path; do not also create a Flutter camera controller for the same device.

Packages and state

applyEffect(path) is the unified package operation. applyFilter(path) is a filter-specific compatibility surface. Inspect getActiveEffects, getActiveFilterInfo, and getActiveEffectInfo; clear with clearFilter, clearAREffect, removeEffect, removeAllFilters, or clearAll according to the intended scope.

Use getEffectParameters, getEffectParameterValue, setEffectParameter, and setEffectParameterString only with names declared by the active authored package.

Cloud Filters

APIUse
getCloudFilters(...)Fetches the licensed cloud catalog with type and pagination options
downloadCloudFilter(filterId)Downloads the selected Cloud Filter and prepares it for use
removeCloudFilter(filterId)Removes the downloaded Cloud Filter from SDK-managed storage

Keep the cloud identifier and use the returned local path for application. The operating system may reclaim cache storage, so handle a missing path by downloading again.

Beauty, background, and camera hardware

The shared API exposes beauty, colour, makeup, reshape, eye-colour, and manual background controls. Check isBeautyFilterEnabled, isCloudFilterEnabled, and isAdvancedFiltersEnabled before presenting gated controls. Flash and torch use hasFlash, hasTorch, mode getters, and mode setters.

Media

  • licenseStatusStream, errorStream, download progress, and recording progress expose asynchronous state.
  • capturePhoto, startRecording, stopRecording, and gallery-save helpers return typed result models.

Call dispose() on the shared Dart wrapper only when the application no longer needs the SDK process. Ordinary screen navigation should use the documented preview lifecycle instead of repeatedly destroying global state.
