delightful-keycodes

Usage

const dk = require('delightful-keycodes');
 
let key = dk(99);
// key => 'c'

delightful-keycodes can take multiple types of values and automatically convert the keyCode to the correct character.

Example

Plain Ascii keyCode

let keyCode = 99;
 
dk(keyCode) // => 'c'

Browser key press events

let keyPressEvent = {
  keyCode = 99
}
 
dk(keyPressEvent) // => 'c'

Events with key property

let keyPressEvent2 = {
  key: 'f',
  keyCode = 99
}
 
dk(keyPressEvent2) // => 'f'

Chrome automatically converts the keyCode for you and provides it in the key property. This is showing that delightful-keycodes won't convert the keyCode if a key is already provided.

This feature exists only because Safari doesn't convert the keyCode for you so you can throw the event into delightful-keycodes regardless of the browser and it's smart enough to decide whether it needs to convert or not.

Planned Features

• Ability to take a character as an argument and automatically convert it to the proper keyCode.
