Deno keypress reader
Reads key from stdin.
Try
deno run --unstable https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dmitriytat/keypress/master/readKeypress_test.ts
// CTRL + C keypress
const keypress: Keypress = {
type: "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 "./mod.ts";
for await (const keypress of readKeypress()) {
console.log(keypress);
if (keypress.ctrlKey && keypress.key === 'c') {
Deno.exit(0);
}
}
Read from TTY:
import { readKeypress } from "./mod.ts";
const tty = await Deno.open("/dev/ttys003");
for await (const keypress of readKeypress(tty)) {
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.
