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'; // ES6 var KeyBinding = require('react-keybinding-component'); // ES5

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' elem={ window } />

Have a look at options.

Options

All properties except onKey are optional.
