react-keybinding-component

A React keybinding component, usable with es6, no mixin

Description

react-keybinding-component is a component that will help you set up keybindings in your app. For the moment, only simple key events are supported (one key only, keyup, keydown). It's just a less dirty way of using key events instead of having care of them with componentDidMount() in multiple components.

Examples

Import it in your project:

import KeyBinding from 'react-keybinding-component';

Get the eventKey keyCode and log it

<KeyBinding onKey={ (e) => { console.log(e.keyCode) } } />

Get the eventKey keyCode and log it on keyUp on the window element

<KeyBinding onKey={ (e) => { console.log(e.keyCode) } } type='keyup' target={ window } />

Have a look at options.

Options

All properties except onKey are optional.

| Property | Description | Default value | |----------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------| | onKey (required) | the function executed after a key event | n/a | | type | keyup or keydown | 'keydown' | | target | the element you want to attach the event to, it can be an existing DOM element or a CSS selector (in that case, you will need to add a tabIndex='0' to your element, otherwise the event won't be caught) | document | | preventInputConflict | prevent onKey from firing if you have an onChange on an input, a textarea or a select | false | | preventContentEditableConflict | prevent onKey from firing if the user is editing the DOM via contenteditable="true", usually used by WYSIWYG editors | false | | preventDefault | prevent event default | false | | preventPropagation | prevent event propagation | false |
