Number input¶

txt.setNumberInput();

Custom class¶

Define class

class MyCanvasInput extends CanvasInput {
    constructor(textGameObject, x, y, width, height, config)) {
        super(textGameObject, x, y, width, height, config)) {
        // ...            
    }
    // ...

    // preUpdate(time, delta) {}
}

scene.add.existing(gameObject) : Adds an existing Game Object to this Scene.
- If the Game Object renders, it will be added to the Display List.
- If it has a preUpdate method, it will be added to the Update List.

Create instance

var txt = new MyCanvasInput(textGameObject, config);

Open editor¶

txt.open();

or

txt.open(onCloseCallback);

onCloseCallback : Callback invoked when closing text-editor

Close editor¶

txt.close();

Is opened¶

var isOpened = txt.isOpened;

Text¶

Display text on dynamic text game object

Get

var text = txt.text;

or

var text = txt.displayText;

Set

txt.setText(text);

or

txt.setDisplayText(text);

Input text on hidden text edit behavior

Get
```
var text = txt.inputText;
```
Set
```
var text = txt.setInputText(text);
```

Value¶

Get. Parse text to value.

var value = txt.getValue();
// var value = txt.value;

Set parseTextCallback
```
txt.setParseTextCallback(callback);
```
- callback :
  - undefined : Bypass text to value. Default behavior.
  - A function object
```
function(text) {
    return text;
}
```

Set. Conver any type of value to string.

txt.setValue(value);
// txt.value = value;

Read only¶

Enable read only

txt.setReadOnly();
// txt.setReadOnly(true);

or

txt.readOnly = true;

Disable read only

txt.setReadOnly(false);

or

txt.readOnly = false;

Get read only
```
var readOnlyEanble = txt.readOnly;
```

Size¶

Resize canvas size
```
txt.setCanvasSize(width, height)
```

Reisze text wrapping size and canvas size.

txt.setSize(width, height);

or

txt.setFixedSize(width, height);

Resize to minimun size to show all visible characters.
```
txt.setToMinSize();
```

Events¶

On text change

txt.on('textchange', function(text, txt){
})

On character child adding

txt.on('addchar', function(child, index, canvasInput) {
    child.modifyStyle({...})
})

child : character child

On cursor moving out of a character child

txt.on('cursorout', function(child, index, canvasInput) {
    child.modifyStyle({...})
})

child : character child

On cursor moving on a character child

txt.on('cursorin', function(child, index, canvasInput) {
    child.modifyStyle({...})
})

child : character child

On open text-editor

Close editor by ENTER key down
```
txt.on('keydown-ENTER', function(){
})
```
Not a number input

```

Select text¶

This feature does not support.

Bypass key input¶

Registered keyboard events might capture key input.

var keyObj = scene.input.keyboard.addKey('W', enableCapture, emitOnRepeat);

Set enableCapture to false to bypass key input to this input-text game objecct.
