A React keybinding component, usable with es6, no mixin
react-keybinding-component is a component that will help you set up keybindings in your app. For the moment, only simple key events are supported (one key only, keyup, keydown). It's just a less dirty way of using key events instead of having care of them with componentDidMount() in multiple components.
Import it in your project:
import KeyBinding from 'react-keybinding-component';Get the eventKey keyCode and log it
<KeyBinding onKey={ (e) => { console.log(e.keyCode) } } />Get the eventKey keyCode and log it on keyUp on the window element
<KeyBinding onKey={ (e) => { console.log(e.keyCode) } } type='keyup' target={ window } />Have a look at options.
All properties except onKey are optional.
