use-keyboard-timer v0.2.0

use-keyboard-timer

use-keyboard-timer is a minimal, React hook for Cubing Timers. It handles all the logic of a timer (inspection, holding space, etc) so that you can focus on building the UI! The only peer dependency is react

Installation

Install by doing yarn add use-keyboard-timer or npm install use-keyboard-timer

Usage

import useKeyboardTimer from 'use-keyboard-timer';

const settings = {
  timerInput: 'timer',
  inspection: 'always',
  timerUpdate: 'deciseconds',
  timeToRelease: 'stackmat',
};

const { time, inspectionTime, state, isTiming, dnf, plusTwo } = useKeyboardTimer(settings);

return (
  <div>
    {`Time: ${time} \n State: ${state} \n Inspection: ${inspectionTime} \n DNF: ${dnf} \n Plus 2: ${plusTwo}`}
  </div>
);

The settings paramater takes an object of the following TimerSettings type:

interface TimerSettings {
  layout: 'drawer' | 'divider3' | 'divider2' | 'simple';
  timerInput: 'manual' | 'timer' | 'stackmat';
  inspection: 'always' | 'never' | 'nonbld';
  timerUpdate: timerUpdate;
  timeToRelease: timeToRelease;
}
type timerUpdate = 'seconds' | 'centiseconds' | 'millisecond' | 'none' | number; // a number means ever X ms
type timeToRelease = 'none' | 'stackmat';

The hook returns the following type:

interface useKeyboardTimerReturn {
    time: number | null; // the time in ms
    isTiming: boolean;
    state: TimerState;
    inspectionTime: number; // inspection time in seconds. Can be 0/-1 indicating +2
    pause: () => void; // function to pause the timer
    unpause: () => void; // function to unpause the timer
    dnf: boolean; // True if over 17 seconds of inspection is used
    plusTwo: boolean; True if 15-17 seconds of inspection is used

}
/**
 *  @typedef NONE: Nothing is happening. This only happens when the timer is reset and/or when the hook is called for the first time
 *  @typedef INSPECTION: We are currently in inspection state
 *  @typedef SPACE_PRESSED_TIMING: The spacebar has been pressed, but is not yet valid for beginning.
 *  @typedef SPACE_PRESSED_VALID: The spacebar has been pressed and is valid to begin the time
 *  @typedef STARTED: The timer is running. The time will be available in the `time` variable.
 *  @typedef STOPPED: Timer has been stopped. The final time is available in the `time` variable. Note that users can start a new solve immediately
 *  @typedef PAUSED: A timer can be paused by calling the `pause()` function. When paused, times cannot begin. This may be useful when you want to open a modal, and dont want the timer running in the background. You can unpause by calling the `unpause()` function, which reverts back to `NONE` state.

Commands

TSDX scaffolds your new library inside /src, and also sets up a Parcel-based playground for it inside /example.

The recommended workflow is to run TSDX in one terminal:

npm start # or yarn start

This builds to /dist and runs the project in watch mode so any edits you save inside src causes a rebuild to /dist.

Then run the example inside another:

cd example
npm i # or yarn to install dependencies
npm start # or yarn start

The default example imports and live reloads whatever is in /dist, so if you are seeing an out of date component, make sure TSDX is running in watch mode like we recommend above. No symlinking required, we use Parcel's aliasing.

To do a one-off build, use npm run build or yarn build.

To run tests, use npm test or yarn test.

Setup Files

This is the folder structure we set up for you:

/example
  index.html
  index.tsx       # test your component here in a demo app
  package.json
  tsconfig.json
/src
  index.tsx       # EDIT THIS
/test
  blah.test.tsx   # EDIT THIS
.gitignore
package.json
README.md         # EDIT THIS
tsconfig.json

Using the Playground

cd example
npm i # or yarn to install dependencies
npm start # or yarn start

The default example imports and live reloads whatever is in /dist, so if you are seeing an out of date component, make sure TSDX is running in watch mode like we recommend above. No symlinking required!
