Documentation

The simplest way to use this library is as follows:

1. Create a new instance of MouseInput/KeyboardInput.
2. Call registerListeners() passing document to it, to register the necessary listeners.
3. At the end of every frame call update(), it must be done after you've done using the input methods.
4. Where needed call the appropriate methods (eg. keyboardInput.isKeyDown()-).

An example code:

const mouseInput = new MouseInput();
const keyboardInput = new KeyboardInput();

// Registers necessary event listeners on the document
mouseInput.registerListeners(document);
keyboardInput.registerListeners(document);

setInterval(() => {
    console.log(mouseInput.localX, mouseInput.localY, keyboardInput.isKeyDown(' '));
    
    // This has to run every frame after you've done processing it, so ideally at the end.
    mouseInput.update();
    keyboardInput.update();
}, 1000/60);
