# captureDevice

The device or camera for capturing a photo or video.

```
var captureDevice: some AssistantSchemas.Enum { get }
```

## Overview

Use Swift macros that generate additional properties and add protocol conformance
for your app enum implementation. The following example shows an app enum that conforms to the `.camera.captureDevice` schema:

```swift
@AppEnum(schema: .camera.captureDevice)
enum CaptureDevice: AppEnum {
    case front
    case back

    static var caseDisplayRepresentations: [CaptureDevice: AppIntents.DisplayRepresentation] = [
        .front: "Front",
        .back: "Back",
    ]
}
```

see [Camera](/documentation/AppIntents/app-schema-domain-camera).
