keyboardevent-key-polyfill

Polyfill for KeyboardEvent.prototype.key.

Firefox has already shipped with this for a while, but this will normalise it for other browsers (e.g., Chrome).

Example

Say goodbye to this:

document.addEventListener('keydown', function (e) {
  console.log('Code of key pressed:', e.which || e.keyCode);  // 39
});

And hello to this:

document.addEventListener('keydown', function (e) {
  console.log('Name of key pressed:', e.key);  // ArrowRight
});

Usage

From standalone script

Just drop the script on your page and call the polyfill method.

<script src="index.js"></script>
<script>keyboardeventKeyPolyfill.polyfill();</script>
