Phaser Input

Some description here about how awesome this Phaser Input library is, because it works on Canvas AND WebGL. Oh did I mention mobile to? no? Well it supports mobile..

Key features:

  • Works on mobile and Desktop
  • Included TypeScript support
  • Also runs under WebGL renderer
  • Pure Phaser implementation
  • Easy configurable
  • Production hardened

Getting Started

First you want to get a fresh copy of the plugin. You can get it from this repo or from npm, ain't that handy.

npm install phaser-input --save-dev

Next up you'd want to add it to your list of js sources you load into your game

<script src="node_modules/phaser-input/build/phaser-input.js"></script>

After adding the script to the page you can activate it by enabling the plugin:

game.add.plugin(Fabrique.Plugins.InputField);

Usage

Adding a InputField

The simplest way of adding a input field is:

var input = game.add.inputField(10, 90);

Ofcourse there are options available that can be used to style the input. They can be passes as an object as the third parameter.

var password = game.add.inputField(10, 90, {
    font: '18px Arial',
    fill: '#212121',
    fontWeight: 'bold',
    width: 150,
    padding: 8,
    borderWidth: 1,
    borderColor: '#000',
    borderRadius: 6,
    placeHolder: 'Password',
    type: Fabrique.InputType.password
});

Using zoom

Zooming is easy to enable on an input field, it can be passed to the InputField as a setting. But there are some caveats:

First of all, it's only meant for mobile. Second; it modifies the scale and pivot of the world, and that might interfere with your resize.

Also, when the keyboard is shown, sometimes a resize event will be triggered.

Ideally you use a custom resize event, check for the static property Fabrique.Plugins.InputField.KeyboardOpen and don't resize when it's set to true.

Using keyboard open/close signals

Current version includes two event dispatchers that notify when a device keyboard is opened or closed.

You can add listeners which trigger events based on this feedback.

Fabrique.Plugins.InputField.onKeyboardClose.addOnce(function() {
                    this.resizeBackgroundImage();
                });

Current Limitations

  • Updates are slow when typing fast (type slower you!!)
  • Zoom modifies the pivot and scale of the world, so it might interfere with some stuff
