# input

The `sos.input` API groups together all input-related functionality, such as remote control key events. With this API, you can
listen to key events from the remote control and handle them in your application.

## Methods

### onKeyUp()

The `onKeyUp` method sets up a listeners, which is called on every keystroke of the remote controller. For the specific logic of an
application (games for example), binding the remote control inputs can be helpful. Only a subset of all remote control keys is
supported on the specific device. Only numerical digits are guaranteed to be supported.

:::note
This feature must be tested by users on real devices.

```ts expandable
onKeyUp(listener: (event: IKeyUpEvent) => void): void;
// show-more
/**
 * KeyUp event interface for handling key release events.
 */
interface IKeyUpEvent {
    type: 'keyup';
    keyCode: KeyUpEventMap;
    keyName: keyof typeof KeyUpEventMap;
}

/**
 * Enum of supported key codes for KeyUp events.
 *
 * @remarks
 * If a key is not listed here, it will show warning in the console.
 */
enum KeyUpEventMap {
    UNKNOWN = 0,
    NUM_0 = 1,
    NUM_1 = 2,
    NUM_2 = 3,
    NUM_3 = 4,
    NUM_4 = 5,
    NUM_5 = 6,
    NUM_6 = 7,
    NUM_7 = 8,
    NUM_8 = 9,
    NUM_9 = 10,
    ARROW_LEFT = 11,
    ARROW_UP = 12,
    ARROW_RIGHT = 13,
    ARROW_DOWN = 14,
    YELLOW = 16,

    HOME = 33,
    EXIT = 34,
    RETURN = 35,
    BACKSPACE = 36,
    LOCK = 37

```

## API Example

```ts
import { sos } from '@signageos/front-applet';

void sos.onReady(async () => {

		console.log(`Pressed: ${keyUpEvent.keyCode} (${keyUpEvent.keyName})`);
	});
});

```
