Deno keypress reader
Reads key from stdin.
Try
deno run https://deno.land/x/keypress@0.0.10/readKeypress_test.ts
// CTRL + C keypress
const keypress: Keypress = {
key: "c",
code: undefined,
keyCode: 3,
sequence: "",
unicode: "\u0003",
ctrlKey: true,
metaKey: false,
shiftKey: false
}
Usage
Read from Deno.stdin by default:
import { readKeypress } from "https://deno.land/x/keypress@0.0.10/mod.ts";
for await (const keypress of readKeypress()) {
console.log(keypress);
if (keypress.ctrlKey && keypress.key === 'c') {
Deno.exit(0);
}
}
New options object
import { readKeypress } from "https://deno.land/x/keypress@0.0.10/mod.ts";
export const options: KeypressOptions = {
/**
* Buffer size
*/
bufferLength: 1024,
/**
* The `cbreak` option can be used to indicate that characters that
* correspond to a signal should still be generated. When disabling raw
* mode, this option is ignored. This functionality currently only works on
* Linux and Mac OS.
*/
cbreak: false
}
for await (const keypress of readKeypress(Deno.stdin, options)) {
console.log(keypress);
if (keypress.ctrlKey && keypress.key === 'c') {
Deno.exit(0);
}
}
Big thanks to Nathan Rajlich and his https://github.com/TooTallNate/keypress, whitch code for key decode I took to this library.
