mouse-event

Provides a normalized, cross-browser, garbage-collection-free API for reading out the state of a mouse event.

$3

Because it is 2015 and somehow every major browser still disagrees on even the most basic details of MouseEvents. Seriously guys.

Example

``javascript
var mouse = require('mouse-event')

window.addEventListener('mousemove', function(ev) {
document.body.innerHTML =
'

Buttons: ' + mouse.buttons(ev) +
' x:' + mouse.x(ev) +
' y:' + mouse.y(ev) + '

'
})
`

Try this in your browser

Install

`
npm i mouse-event
`

API

`javascript
var mouse = require('mouse-event')
`
