Hi,
Sometimes, we need to detect when Enter key was pressed or some other key as per the requirement. I had a use case where I had a search box and it was not a form. User could put some content in search input text box and when user hits Enter, it should fetch data using ajax call. The code below detects when Enter key was pressed.
We will add a keypress handler to the document which will capture all events whenever a key is pressed. We need to check which one is Enter. The code for Enter is 13.
We also need to check if the focus was actually the search input text.
That's all what we need.
Until next time :)
