A React library for managing focus in LRUD applications, A Fork of @please/lrud

Guide

Refer parent Library (https://www.npmjs.com/package/@please/lrud)

Basic Setup

Render the FocusRoot high up in your application's component tree.

import { FocusRoot } from '@please/lrud';

export default function App() {
  return (
    <FocusRoot>
      <AppContents />
    </FocusRoot>
  );
}

You may then use FocusNode components to create a focusable elements on the page.

import { FocusNode } from '@please/lrud';

export default function Profile() {
  return <FocusNode className="profile">Profile</FocusNode>;
}

This library automatically moves the focus between the FocusNodes as the user inputs LRUD commands on their keyboard or remote control.

This behavior can be configured through the props of the FocusNode component. To learn more about those props, refer to the API documentation below.
