    import { Component } from '@angular/core';
    import {WebcamImage} from 'ngx-webcam';
    import {Subject, Observable} from 'rxjs';
      
    @Component({
      selector: 'app-root',
      templateUrl: './app.component.html',
      styleUrls: ['./app.component.scss']
    })
    export class AppComponent {
      title = 'gfgangularwebcam';
      
      public webcamImage: WebcamImage = null;
      private trigger: Subject<void> = new Subject<void>();
      triggerSnapshot(): void {
       this.trigger.next();
      }
      handleImage(webcamImage: WebcamImage): void {
       console.info('Saved webcam image', webcamImage);
       this.webcamImage = webcamImage;
      }
       
      public get triggerObservable(): Observable<void> {
       return this.trigger.asObservable();
      }
