Instructions of usage:

The fastest way to start using shortcuts in your React application is by importing the KeyboardShortcutsListener in your component, like this:

Install the library by running npm install react-keyboard-shortcuts-keypress

``
import React from 'react';
import KeyboardShortcutsListener from 'react-keyboard-shortcuts-keypress';

function MyComponent() {
const doSomething = () => {
// Do something here when shortcut is trigerred, like set a state value, or make a fetch request
}
return (
<>
keysShortcuts="shift a"
callback={doSomething}
description="Does something"
/>
{
/ Rest of your component /
}

)
}

`

check the Keypress documentation to see the complete list of supported keys.

Available APIs

This keyboard binding provides 3 APIs - KeyboardShortcutsListener, KeyboardShortcutsProvider, withKeyboardShortcuts.

1. KeyboardShortcutsListener
Refer above example

2. KeyboardShortcutsProvider Context Provider Component

Once you attach KeyboardShortcutsListener within your component code, you can wrap them within the KeyboardShortcutsProvider provider, like this:

`
import React from 'React';
import MyComponent from './MyComponent'
import { KeyboardShortcutsProvider } from 'react-keyboard-shortcuts-keypress';

function App() {
return (
<>




);
}

`

This will make the details of the configured shortcut listeners along with their descriptions available in the React Context provider, inside keysShortcuts.

Other components can then access keysShortcuts as long as they are wrapped within

3. Higher Order Component withKeyboardShortcuts

To be able to access state data from Context Provider we can wrap our custom component inside HOC component withKeyboardShortcuts. It will return an array of objects which can
be used to display all available keysShortcuts to the user.

Ex:

`
import React from 'react';
import { withKeyboardShortcuts } from 'react-keyboard-shortcuts-keypress';

function DisplayAvailableKeysShortcuts() {

return(


export default withKeyboardShortcuts(Component);
``
