gaia-keyboard-demo's Introduction

Gaia Keyboard Demo

This is a off-work fun project to bring the built-in keyboard of Mozilla Firefox OS to the web, and make available on any device.

It is also available as a drop-in library for multi-lingual websites. Try the library test and read it's source code to find out how.

Getting Started

Clone this repo, and execute the following commands:

git submodule init
git submodule update

Underneath

It pulls the keyboard codebase from Gaia, and re-implements navigator.mozInputMethod API so we could communicate between the fake input and the app.

The input has to be a fake one so the native keyboard will not pop-up when you try this page on a touchscreen.

Additionally, other missing APIs that is not provided on Safari Mobile are shimmed.

gaia-keyboard-demo's Issues

Safari 7.1 and iOS 8 fail at WeakMap

After bumping Gaia and include bug 1044525 into the demo, Safari's WeakMap implementation failed to map the DOM element to the object we specified.

Previous Safari and Mobile Safari is not affected because an es6 shim was used in place.

Key separation in uk layout

Looking at uk layout of keyboard I see the problem with separation of some keys.

Here is screenshot:

I suspect, that the problem might be somewhere in ratio values for two bottom rows in uk.js
https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/blob/8633318d298bedcf0a6d628277fee2c29b6dc450/apps/keyboard/js/layouts/uk.js#L31

    { value: 'ю' }, { value: '⌫', **ratio: 1.5**, keyCode: KeyEvent.DOM_VK_BACK_SPACE }
  ], [
    { value: '&nbsp', **ratio: 10**, keyCode: KeyboardEvent.DOM_VK_SPACE },

Replace/create fake input so native touch keyboard will not pop-up.
UI/API detail.

Make the page work on Mobile Safari

Currently blocked on

<audio> is not behaving well on Mobile Safari

Every cloneNode() results a network request, and overlapping sound result a prompt saying "This Operation cannot be completed.".

We should probably turn off the sound on Mobile iOS by default, but I hate UA detection :-/
