Caps Lock Directive

In password inputs, You may want to show if Caps Lock is on. To make this even easier, you can use the TrackCapsLockDirective which has been exposed by the @vcp/ng.core package.

Getting Started

TrackCapsLockDirective is standalone. In order to use the TrackCapsLockDirective in an HTML template, import it to related module or your standalone component:

Importing to NgModule

import { TrackCapsLockDirective } from '@vcp/ng.core';

@NgModule({
  //...
  declarations: [
   ...,
   TestComponent
  ],
  imports: [
   ...,
   TrackCapsLockDirective
  ],
})
export class MyFeatureModule {}

Usage

The TrackCapsLockDirective is very easy to use. The directive's selector is vcpCapsLock. By adding the vcpCapsLock event to an element, you can track the status of Caps Lock. You can use this to warn user.

See an example usage:

NgModule Component usage

@Component({
  selector: 'test-component',
  template: `
    <div class="d-flex flex-column">
      <label>Password</label>
      <input (vcpCapsLock)="capsLock = $event"/>
      <i *ngIf="capsLock">icon</i>
    </div>
  `
})
export class TestComponent{
  capsLock = false;
}

import { TrackCapsLockDirective } from '@vcp/ng.core'

@Component({
  selector: 'standalone-component',
  standalone: true,
  template: `
    <div class="d-flex flex-column">
      <label>Password</label>
      <input (vcpCapsLock)="capsLock = $event"/>
      <i *ngIf="capsLock">icon</i>
    </div>
  `,
  imports: [TrackCapsLockDirective]
})
export class StandaloneComponent{
  capsLock = false;
