On-screen Virtual Keyboard

Package Exports

  • simple-keyboard
  • simple-keyboard/build/css/index.css

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 (simple-keyboard) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Options

You can customize the Keyboard by passing options to it. Here are the available options (the code examples are the defaults):

layout

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}'
  ]
}

layoutName

Specifies which layout should be used.

layoutName: "default"

display

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}': ' ',
  '{//}': ' '
}

theme

A prop to add your own css classes. You can add multiple classes separated by a space.

theme: "hg-theme-default"

debug

Runs a console.log every time a key is pressed. Displays the buttons pressed and the current input.

debug: false

newLineOnEnter

Specifies whether clicking the "ENTER" button will input a newline (\n) or not.

newLineOnEnter: false

inputName

Allows you to use a single simple-keyboard instance for several inputs.

inputName: "default"

onKeyPress

Executes the callback function on key press. Returns button layout name (i.e.: "{shift}").

onKeyPress: (button) => console.log(button)

onChange

Executes the callback function on input change. Returns the current input's string.

onChange: (input) => console.log(input)

onChangeAll

Executes the callback function on input change. Returns the input object with all defined inputs. This is useful if you're handling several inputs with simple-keyboard, as specified in the "Using several inputs" guide.

onChangeAll: (inputs) => console.log(inputs)

Methods

simple-keyboard has a few methods you can use to further control it's behavior. To access these functions, you need the instance the simple-keyboard component, like so:

var keyboard = new Keyboard({
  ...
});
/>

// Then, use as follows...
keyboard.methodName(params);

clearInput

Clear the keyboard's input.

// For default input (i.e. if you have only one)
keyboard.clearInput();

// For specific input
// Must have been previously set using the "inputName" prop.
keyboard.clearInput("inputName");

getInput

Get the keyboard's input (You can also get it from the onChange prop).

// For default input (i.e. if you have only one)
let input = keyboard.getInput();

// For specific input
// Must have been previously set using the "inputName" prop.
let input = keyboard.getInput("inputName");

setInput

Set the keyboard's input. Useful if you want the keybord to initialize with a default value, for example.

// For default input (i.e. if you have only one)
keyboard.setInput("Hello World!");

// For specific input
// Must have been previously set using the "inputName" prop.
keyboard.setInput("Hello World!", "inputName");

setOptions

Set new option or modify existing ones after initialization. The changes are applied immediately.

keyboard.setOptions({
  theme: "my-custom-theme"
});

Use-cases

Using several inputs

Set the inputName option for each input you want to handle with simple-keyboard.

For example:

  <input class="input" id="input1" value=""/>
  <input class="input" id="input2" value=""/>
  // Here we'll store the input id that simple-keyboard will be using.
  var selectedInput;

  // Initialize simple-keyboard as usual
  var keyboard = new Keyboard({
    onChange: input => onChange(input)
  });

  // Add an event listener for the inputs to be tracked
  document.querySelectorAll('.input')
    .forEach(input => input.addEventListener('focus', onInputFocus));

  /**
   * When an input is focused, it will be marked as selected (selectedInput)
   * This is so we can replace it's value on the onChange function
   *
   * Also, we will set the inputName option to a unique string identifying the input (id)
   * simple-keyboard save the input in this key and report changes through onChange
   */
  onInputFocus = event => {
    // Setting input as selected
    selectedInput = `#${event.target.id}`;

    // Set the inputName option on the fly !
    keyboard.setOptions({
      inputName: event.target.id
    });
  }

  // When the current input is changed, this is called
  onChange = input => {
    // If the input is not defined, grabbing the first ".input".
    let currentInput = selectedInput || '.input';

    // Updating the selected input's value
    document.querySelector(currentInput).value = input;
  }
