Keyboard

This module implements support for keyboard events, wrapping the stty utility.

How to Install

go get gobot.io/x/gobot && go install gobot.io/x/gobot/platforms/keyboard

How to Use

Example parsing key events

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"gobot.io/x/gobot"
	"gobot.io/x/gobot/platforms/keyboard"
)

func main() {
	keys := keyboard.NewDriver()

	work := func() {
		keys.On(keyboard.Key, func(data interface{}) {
			key := data.(keyboard.KeyEvent)

			if key.Key == keyboard.A {
				fmt.Println("A pressed!")
			} else {
				fmt.Println("keyboard event!", key, key.Char)
			}
		})
	}

	robot := gobot.NewRobot("keyboardbot",
		[]gobot.Connection{},
		[]gobot.Device{keys},
		work,
	)

	robot.Start()
}

Overview

Package keyboard contains the Gobot drivers for keyboard support.

Installing:

Then you can install the package with:

go get gobot.io/x/gobot && go install gobot.io/x/gobot/platforms/keyboard

Example:

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"gobot.io/x/gobot"
	"gobot.io/x/gobot/platforms/keyboard"
)

func main() {
	keys := keyboard.NewDriver()

	work := func() {
		keys.On(keyboard.Key, func(data interface{}) {
			key := data.(keyboard.KeyEvent)

			if key.Key == keyboard.A {
				fmt.Println("A pressed!")
			} else {
				fmt.Println("keyboard event!", key, key.Char)
			}
		})
	}

	robot := gobot.NewRobot("keyboardbot",
		[]gobot.Connection{},
		[]gobot.Device{keys},
		work,
	)

	robot.Start()
}

Types

type Driver

type Driver struct {
	gobot.Eventer
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Driver is gobot software device to the keyboard

func NewDriver

func NewDriver() *Driver

NewDriver returns a new keyboard Driver.

func (*Driver) Connection

func (k *Driver) Connection() gobot.Connection

Connection returns the Driver Connection

func (*Driver) Halt

func (k *Driver) Halt() (err error)

Halt stops keyboard driver

func (*Driver) Name

func (k *Driver) Name() string

Name returns the Driver Name

func (*Driver) SetName

func (k *Driver) SetName(n string)

SetName sets the Driver Name

func (*Driver) Start

func (k *Driver) Start() (err error)

Start initializes keyboard by grabbing key events as they come in and publishing each as a key event

type KeyEvent

type KeyEvent struct {
	Bytes bytes
	Key   int
	Char  string
}

KeyEvent contains data about a keyboard event

func Parse

func Parse(input bytes) KeyEvent
