Options

onUnlock: (event: KeyboardEvent) => void The callback when the sequence has been completed and the secret unlocked

sequence: string[] An optional key sequence to use instead of the default Konami Code. This should be an array of strings that correspond to key events.

onReset: (distance: number, event: KeyboardEvent) => void An optional callback when a portion of the sequence has been completed, but reset before being unlocked. The callback is invoked with total distance through the sequence. For example, it would be invoked with 3 if the they successfully pressed the first 3 keys in the sequence before pressing an incorrect key.

onKeyPress: (key: string, index: number, event: KeyboardEvent) => void An optional callback when a key in the sequence is pressed.

target: HTMLElement An optional target element to listen to events. The default is the window object.
