Usage

import React from 'react'
import { NativeSyntheticEvent } from 'react-native'
import KeyCommands, {
  KeyCommand,
  constants,
} from '@envoy/react-native-key-commands'


export default class MyComponent: React.Component {
  render () {
    return (
      <KeyCommands
        style={styles.myStyle}
        keyCommands={[
          {
            input: keyCommandConstants.keyInputDownArrow,
          },
          {
            input: "1",
            keyModifier: constants.keyModifierCommand,
            discoverabilityTitle: "Do something cool",
          },
          {
            input: "c",
            keyModifier: constants.keyModifierCommand
          }
        ]}
        onKeyCommand={this.onKeyCommand}>
        <View>
          {/* .. other views.. */}
        </View>
      </KeyCommands>
    )
  }
  
  private onKeyCommand = (event: NativeSyntheticEvent<KeyCommand>) => {
    if (event.nativeEvent.input === '1' && event.keyModifiers === constants.keyModifierCommand) {
      // do something here
    }
  }
}

To combine key modifiers, you can use | (bit-wise OR) operator, for example, you can define a shortcut CMD + ALT + C like this

{
  input: "c",
  keyModifier: constants.keyModifierCommand | constants.,keyModifierAlternate
  discoverabilityTitle: "Do something cool"
}

Constants

Constants are exposed as constatns under the package. You can import it via

import { constants } from '@envoy/react-native-key-commands'

Here's the value mapping from constants to iOS constant values
