jQuery Plugin for uploading local photos and capturing from a webcam

![plugin preview](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/crossan007/jQuery-Photo-Uploader/master/preview.png)

## Run Conditions

PhotoUploader detects whether webcam capture is possible.

*  If webcam capture is possible, then the use may choose between file upload, or live capture
*  If webcam capture is not possible, then the user may only choose to upload a file.

##  Usage

### DOM

PhotoUploader requires an empty ```<div>``` element on which to bind.

### JavaScript

PhotoUploader must be initialized on the result of a jQuery Selector before use.

```
  window.YourApp.photoUploader = $("#photoUploader").PhotoUploader({
    url: window.YourApp.root + "/APIEndPointForPOST",
    maxPhotoSize: "2MB"
   });
```
To display a PhotoUploader, simply call the ```show()``` function of the already initialized PhotoUploader.

```
  $("#uploadImageButton").click(function(){
    window.YourApp.photoUploader.show();
  })
```

## Server Side

PhotoUploader will POST the captured / selected image as a Base64 Encoded png to the endpoint defined by the ```url``` option.
