Usage/Examples

Setting up provider

You need to set up the CodesProvider in your React application. This provider ensures that the package can manage and listen for keyboard events using React context.

import CodesProvider from "@costorgroup/codes";

const App = ({ children }) => {
  return <CodesProvider>{children}</CodesProvider>;
};

export default App;

Creating and removing listeners

Once the provider is set up, you can use the on and off methods, provided by useCodes hook, to manage your code handlers.

import { useCodes } from "@costorgroup/codes";

const MyComponent = () => {
  const codes = useCodes();

  useEffect(() => {
    const handler = () => {
      alert("Hello!");
    };

    codes.on("hello", handler);
    return () => {
      codes.off("hello", handler);
    };
  }, []);

  return <div>Type 'hello' to get alert message!</div>;
};

export default MyComponent;
