Package Exports

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@polymer/iron-a11y-keys-behavior) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Published on NPM Build status Published on webcomponents.org

<iron-a11y-keys-behavior>

Polymer.IronA11yKeysBehavior provides a normalized interface for processing keyboard commands that pertain to WAI-ARIA best practices. The element takes care of browser differences with respect to Keyboard events and uses an expressive syntax to filter key presses.

See: Documentation, Demo.

Usage

Installation

npm install --save @polymer/iron-a11y-keys-behavior

In a Polymer 3 element

import {PolymerElement, html} from '@polymer/polymer';
import {mixinBehaviors} from '@polymer/polymer/lib/legacy/class.js';
import {IronA11yKeysBehavior} from '@polymer/iron-a11y-keys-behavior/iron-a11y-keys-behavior.js';

class SampleElement extends  extends mixinBehaviors([IronA11yKeysBehavior], PolymerElement) {
  static get template() {
    return html`
      <pre>[[pressed]]</pre>
    `;
  }

  static get properties() {
    return {
      pressed: {type: String, readOnly: true, value: ''},
      keyBindings: {
        'space': '_onKeydown', // same as 'space:keydown'
        'shift+tab': '_onKeydown',
        'enter:keypress': '_onKeypress',
        'esc:keyup': '_onKeyup'
      }
    }
  }

  function _onKeydown: function(event) {
    console.log(event.detail.combo); // KEY+MODIFIER, e.g. "shift+tab"
    console.log(event.detail.key); // KEY only, e.g. "tab"
    console.log(event.detail.event); // EVENT, e.g. "keydown"
    console.log(event.detail.keyboardEvent); // the original KeyboardEvent
  }
}
customElements.define('sample-element', SampleElement);
