I'm new at react & coding. I want to run a function if space & up arrow pressed. i want to run my jump() function
const jump = () => {
if (onJump == false){
$("#dino").animate({top:'-=60%'}, 300);
$("#dino").animate({top:'+=60%'}, 300);
onJump=true;
setTimeout(function() {
onJump=false;
},600)
}
}
i already try several codes but none of them are working.
useEffect(() => {
window.addEventListener('keydown', e => {
if(e.key === 'Enter'){ // See key codes https://keycode.info
console.log('You pressed Enter')
}
})
},[])
the best practice for performance is to remove the event listener on un-mount:
useEffect(() => {
const onKeyDown = (e) => {
if(e.key === 'Enter'){
console.log('You pressed Enter')
}
}
window.addEventListener('keydown', onKeyDown)
return () => window.removeEventListener('keydown', onKeyDown)
},[])
