Keyboard Input

Handling user input from a USB keyboard

You nx.js application can handle input from a connected USB keyboard by handling the global keydown, keyup, and keypress events. These events work the same way as in the web browser.

Example

addEventListener('keydown', (e) => {
  console.log('Keydown', e.keyCode);
});
 
addEventListener('keyup', (e) => {
  console.log('Keyup', e.keyCode);
});
 
addEventListener('keypress', (e) => {
  console.log('Keypress', e.keyCode);
});
