You can customize the Keyboard by passing options (props) to it. Here are the available options (the code examples are the defaults):
Modify the keyboard layout
layout={{
'default': [
'` 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 - = {bksp}',
'{tab} q w e r t y u i o p [ ] \\',
'{lock} a s d f g h j k l ; \' {enter}',
'{shift} z x c v b n m , . / {shift}',
'.com @ {space}'
],
'shift': [
'~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ + {bksp}',
'{tab} Q W E R T Y U I O P { } |',
'{lock} A S D F G H J K L : " {enter}',
'{shift} Z X C V B N M < > ? {shift}',
'.com @ {space}'
]
}}
Specifies which layout should be used.
layoutName={"default"}
Replaces variable buttons (such as
{bksp}
) with a human-friendly name (e.g.: "delete").
display={{
'{bksp}': 'delete',
'{enter}': '< enter',
'{shift}': 'shift',
'{s}': 'shift',
'{tab}': 'tab',
'{lock}': 'caps',
'{accept}': 'Submit',
'{space}': ' ',
'{//}': ' '
}}
A prop to add your own css classes. You can add multiple classes separated by a space.
theme={"hg-theme-default"}
Runs a console.log every time a key is pressed. Displays the buttons pressed and the current input.
debug={false}
Specifies whether clicking the "ENTER" button will input a newline (
\n
) or not.
newLineOnEnter={false}
simple-keybord has a few methods you can use to further control it's behavior.
To access these functions, you need a ref
of the simple-keyboard component, like so:
<Keyboard
ref={r => this.keyboard = r}
[...]
/>
// Then, on componentDidMount ..
this.keyboard.methodName(params);
Clear the keyboard's input.
this.keyboard.clearInput();
Get the keyboard's input (You can also get it from the onChange prop).
let input = this.keyboard.getInput();
Set the keyboard's input. Useful if you want the keybord to initialize with a default value, for example.
this.keyboard.setInput("Hello World!");
It returns a promise, so if you want to run something after it's applied, call it as so:
let inputSetPromise = this.keyboard.setInput("Hello World!");
inputSetPromise.then((result) => {
console.log("Input set");
});
