@bscop/use-keydown

use-keydown

A custom React hook to fire an event when user press one, or more specific keys.

Install

npm i @bscop/use-keydown

Usage

Default behavior:

import useKeydown from "@bscop/use-keydown";

useKeydown(
  (event) => {
    console.log(">", event.code);
  }
);

Custom behavior:

import useKeydown from "@bscop/use-keydown";

useKeydown(
  (event) => {
    console.log(">", event.code);
  },
  {
    active: true,
    keys: [
      "ArrowUp",
      "ArrowDown"
    ]
  }
);

• active: when is set to false the hook won't register the event listener.

• keys: defines the key codes for which the handler will be executed. You can omit it, to listen for all the possible keys.
