A powerful and flexible keyboard and mouse event listener plugin designed for modern web applications. This library simplifies the handling of complex input combinations, making it easier to manage user interactions in your projects.

Features

• Cross-Platform Support: Works seamlessly on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
• Customizable Key Combinations: Define your own keyboard shortcuts and mouse actions.
• Event Listeners: Easily attach callbacks to specific actions.
• TypeScript Support: Built with TypeScript for better type safety and developer experience.

Installation

You can install the Input System package via npm or yarn:

Using npm

npm install @asyra/input-system

Using yarn

yarn add @asyra/input-system

Usage

To get started with the Input System, follow these steps:

1. Import the Input System:

   import InputSystem from '@asyra/input-system'

2. Define Your Key Combinations:

   Create a record of key combinations that you want to listen for:

   const combinations: Record<string, string[]> = {
     UNDO: ['Meta', 'Z'],
     REDO: ['Meta', 'Shift', 'Z'],
     SAVE: ['Control', 'S'],
     DELETE: ['Delete'],
     MOVE_UP: ['ArrowUp'],
     MOVE_DOWN: ['ArrowDown'],
     HOVER: ['LeftMouseMove'],
     DRAG_START: ['LeftMouseDown'],
     DRAG_UPDATE: ['LeftMouseDown', 'LeftMouseMove'],
     DRAG_END: ['LeftMouseUp']
   }

3. Initialize the Input System:

   Create an instance of the Input System with your defined combinations:

   const inputSystem = new InputSystem(combinations)

4. Attach Event Listeners:

   Use the on method to listen for specific actions:

   inputSystem.on('HOVER', () => console.log('Hover triggered'))
   inputSystem.on('DRAG_START', () => console.log('Drag Start'))
   inputSystem.on('DRAG_UPDATE', () => console.log('Drag Update'))
   inputSystem.on('DRAG_END', () => console.log('Drag End'))
   inputSystem.on('UNDO', () => console.log('Undo triggered'))
   inputSystem.on('REDO', () => console.log('Redo triggered'))
