React Native Expo Camera

The react native expo camera example gives errors like _Camera is not defined https://docs.expo.io/versions/latest/sdk/camera.html but I see others have gotten it to work here

Does anyone have some basic code on how to make use of the camera module? Or debug why the documentation example isn't working?
