## README

# Keyborg ⌨️🤖

Keyborg is a library that tracks the state of current keyboard input on a web page through focus events.

**It does not do anything invasive to the DOM** but provides an event subscription system that allows users to choose how they want to react to changes in focus.

## Getting started

### Installation

```bash
# NPM
npm install --save keyborg
# Yarn
yarn add keyborg
```

### Usage

```js
import { createKeyborg } from "keyborg";

// initializes keyborg on the current window
const keyborg = createKeyborg(window);

// This is called every time the keyboard input state changes
const handler = (isUsingKeyboard) => {
  if (isUsingKeyboard) {
    document.body.setAttribute("data-is-keyboard", "true");
  } else {
    document.body.removeAttribute("data-is-keyboard");
  }
};

keyborg.subscribe(handler);
keyborg.unsubscribe(handler);
```
