react-native-gamepad-controller
A react-native component to interface with gamepads/joysticks/controllers without using native code.
React Native doesn't provide gamepad support - this module attempts to add support for gamepads without using any native code. This works by embedding an invisible WebView
- since HTML5 has the gamepad API, these events can be propagated up from the embedded webpage, through the WebView
component, and into whatever React Native component you want.
Installation
npm install react-native-gamepad-controller
Usage
Here's a minimal example:
import React from 'react';
import { Text, View } from 'react-native';
import GamepadController from 'react-native-gamepad-controller';
export default class App extends React.Component {
constructor(){
super();
this.state = {gamepad: 'Not connected. Try pressing a key'};
}
onGamepadData(data){
this.setState({gamepad: JSON.stringify(data)});
}
render() {
return (
<View>
<GamepadController onData={(data)=>{ this.onGamepadData(data) }} />
<Text>{this.state.gamepad}</Text>
</View>
);
}
}
A more detailed example/demo is available in the example/
folder.
NOTE: This has been tested an working on Android devices with a generic Bluetooth controller, but it has not been tested on iOS.
