@bonsai-components/meta-key v1.2.9

Meta Key

Intro

Meta keys vary based on the platform the user is on. This package aims to make detection and actions (like printing the meta key as a string) easy.

How to install

npm i @bonsai-components/meta-key

How to use

There are 3 different variants:

• metaKeyInBrowser - handles detection in the browser
• metaKeyInNodeProcess - handles detection in node
• metaKey - universal detection (the most code delivered but handles universal usage)

All variants work the same way, (metaKeyMap?: MetaKeyMap<T>) => T. The keys of MetaKeyMap are mac, windows, and other. The values of these fields can be anything; one of the values will be returned depending on the platform detection.

type VoidFunction = () => void;

const alertMetaKeyMap: MetaKeyMap<VoidFunction> = {
  mac: () => console.log('mac'),
  windows: () => console.log('windows'),
  other: () => console.log('other'),
};

const alertConsole: VoidFunction = metaKey<VoidFunction>(alertMetaKeyMap);
alertConsole();

If no MetaKeyMap is provided, the default maps to a string representing meta key symbol:

const metaKeyMapDefault: MetaKeyMap<string> = {
  mac: '⌘',
  windows: '⊞',
  other: '◆',
};

const metaKeyAsString: string = metaKey();

Additionally, if you pass a partial of the MetaKeyMap the missing keys will be filled in with the default. This is handy when wanting to override one string:

const metaKeyAsString: string = metaKey({ windows: 'ctrl +' });
