xinput wrapper. Access xinput based controllers.
npm install xinput.js> Node.js xinput wrapper. Access xinput based controllers
xinput.js wraps the xinput game controller API. Besides allowing raw access to the xinput device, it also provides a small wrapper class which emits events based on controller input.
npm install -g node-gyp
`
Then configure and build:
`
node-gyp configure
node-gyp build
