jBoard

A virtual keyboard and numpad written on top of jQuery and Materialize.css

Installation

$ git clone https://github.com/ev-devs/jboard.git
$ cd jboard
$ npm install
$ open index.html || python -m SimpleHTTPServer

Either you are viewing it already by simply opening the file or if you could not
get a file descriptor then python will serve you the webpage on port 8000
(i.e. point your browser to localhost:8000)

Programmatically Creating jboards

In order to create a jboard you will need the following

jQuery installed
Materialize.css
a template of the respective board you want (either standard or num)

Step one

Copy and paste the "starter" html from the bin folder into the html file you
want to have a board on. Either the standard.html or num.html.

Standard OR Num

Step two

Within your html file link both the jboard.js and jboard.css files into
your html file.

<script src="path/to/jboard.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/jboard.css" media="screen" charset="utf-8">

Step three

create an input tag that looks like the following

<div class="input-field col s6">
  <input placeholder="Placeholder" id="keyboard-1" type="text" class="validate">
  <label for="first_name">First Name</label>
</div>

Then within your script tag or in any subsequent javascript files declare
the following code

$('#id-of-input-here').jboard('standard');
$('#id-of-input-here').jboard('num');

And now you have a fully functional jboard.

EXTRAS!

In addition to the jboard, you will also have access to a custom event emitted by
every key within the jboard. You can access they event by binding an event listener
to whatever input has been jboardified with the following code

$('#id-of-input-here').on( "jpress" , function(event, key){
	console.log(event, key)
	// do any other thing here, like $.ajax() request to search engine ;)
})
