### Make any Node ReadableStream emit "keypress" events
|
|
|
|
|
|
Previous to Node `v0.8.x`, there was an undocumented `"keypress"` event that
|
|
`process.stdin` would emit when it was a TTY. Some people discovered this hidden
|
|
gem, and started using it in their own code.
|
|
|
|
Now in Node `v0.8.x`, this `"keypress"` event does not get emitted by default,
|
|
but rather only when it is being used in conjuction with the `readline` (or by
|
|
extension, the `repl`) module.
|
|
|
|
This module is the exact logic from the node `v0.8.x` releases ripped out into its
|
|
own module.
|
|
|
|
__Bonus:__ Now with mouse support!

Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Install with `npm`:
|
|
|
|
``` bash
|
|
$ npm install keypress
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or add it to the `"dependencies"` section of your _package.json_ file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
#### Listening for "keypress" events
|
|
|
|
``` js
|
|
var keypress = require('keypress');
|
|
|
|
// make `process.stdin` begin emitting "keypress" events
|
|
keypress(process.stdin);
|
|
|
|
// listen for the "keypress" event
|
|
process.stdin.on('keypress', function (ch, key) {
|
|
console.log('got "keypress"', key);
|
|
if (key && key.ctrl && key.name == 'c') {
|
|
process.stdin.pause();
|
|
}
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
process.stdin.setRawMode(true);
|
|
process.stdin.resume();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Listening for "mousepress" events
|
|
|
|
``` js
|
|
var keypress = require('keypress');
|
|
|
|
// make `process.stdin` begin emitting "mousepress" (and "keypress") events
|
|
keypress(process.stdin);
|
|
|
|
// you must enable the mouse events before they will begin firing
|
|
keypress.enableMouse(process.stdout);
|
|
|
|
process.stdin.on('mousepress', function (info) {
|
|
console.log('got "mousepress" event at %d x %d', info.x, info.y);
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
process.on('exit', function () {
|
|
// disable mouse on exit, so that the state
|
|
// is back to normal for the terminal
|
|
keypress.disableMouse(process.stdout);
|
|
});
|
|
```
