Install

You can use our AI-Assisted Setup to install the plugin. Add the Capgo skills to your AI tool using the following command:

npx skills add https://github.com/Cap-go/capgo-skills --skill capacitor-plugins

Then use the following prompt:

Use the `capacitor-plugins` skill from `Cap-go/capgo-skills` to install the `@capgo/capacitor-proximity` plugin in my project.

If you prefer Manual Setup, install the plugin by running the following commands and follow the platform-specific instructions below:

bun add @capgo/capacitor-proximity
bunx cap sync

Import

import { CapacitorProximity } from '@capgo/capacitor-proximity';

API Overview

`enable`

Enable proximity monitoring.

On iOS this enables UIDevice.isProximityMonitoringEnabled. On Android this starts listening to TYPE_PROXIMITY and dims the current app window while the sensor is covered.

import { CapacitorProximity } from '@capgo/capacitor-proximity';

await CapacitorProximity.enable();

`disable`

Disable proximity monitoring.

This restores the default app window behavior and stops sensor monitoring.

import { CapacitorProximity } from '@capgo/capacitor-proximity';

await CapacitorProximity.disable();

`getStatus`

Get the current sensor availability and plugin enabled state.

import { CapacitorProximity } from '@capgo/capacitor-proximity';

const status = await CapacitorProximity.getStatus();
