Description

Hi all!

@sibelius and I were thinking about a system of extensions for react-native-camera.

It would be nice if users could choose extensions as post-processing (Google Vision, OpenCV, ...) or any other extension (ideally community written). These extensions would be optional resulting in a minimal setup with minimal footprint for users that just need the camera without extensions.

Is there anyone that could give some insights about how to structure a system like that for iOS/ObjectiveC and Android/Java? Or even better: anyone with experience who'd like to help?
