ProPlugins

We have an awesome, new service in town! This service provides tested new and upgraded plugins. All ProPlugins are already known to work with NativeScript 6.x. If you are interested in getting the latest, known working, and enhanced plugins; check out https://ProPlugins.org -- because I strongly believe in what ProPlugins offers the community all of my development work is being done on the ProPlugins version.

Community

Please feel free to continue to use this version of the plugin, it is now 100% being maintained by YOU the community, and as such I will gladly continue to support the community version by accepting any/all PR's for this plugin and publish it. I will attempt to verify the PR doesn't have any backdoors; but I won't be doing any testing, so if it is broken it is up to you to send a PR!

Sample Snapshot

Installation

tns plugin add nativescript-keyboardshowing

Usage

To use the module you just require() it:

var keyboard = require( "nativescript-keyboardshowing" );
console.log("keyboard is", keyboard.isShowing() ? "showing" : "hidden");

exports.onKeyboard = function (evt) {
    console.log("Keyboard is now", evt.showing ? 'showing' : 'hidden');
};

You ask, how exactly does this help?

Have you ever needed to know if the Soft-keyboard is showing? This plugin gives you that information via a event or a function call.

You can add to any page you need it the following Function:

exports.onKeyboard = function(args) { }

args.showing = true | false

args.object = the current page

Additional Helper Method

var keyboard = require('nativescript-keyboardshowing');

keyboard.isShowing()

returns: true or false

var keyboard = require( "nativescript-keyboardshowing" );
console.log("keyboard is", keyboard.isShowing() ? "showing" : "hidden");
