A simplified and type-safe interface to easily bridge between Brick 100 and external games/apps.
The interface allows you to send and receive messages in form of events between the Brick 1100 and your app.
From Brick 1100's perspective, the interface allows it to emit operational events to your app such as key presses, start trigger, etc. and listen to any event emitted from your app.
From your app's perspective, the interface allows you to listen to the operational events from Brick 1100 to control your game/app and send back events to notify Brick 1100 of any changes in your game/app state.
Simply add the below line in your HTML file's <body> tag.
<body>
...
<script src="https://unpkg.com/bridge-1100/dist/index.umd.js"></script>
</body>A window.bridge object will then be available to use.
npm install bridge-1100
# or
yarn add bridge-1100import bridge from 'bridge-1100';
bridge.on('keypress', (key) => {
console.log(key)
});
bridge.off('keypress');
bridge.send(window.parent, {
event: 'stop',
data: { /* data sent back to Brick 1100 */ },
});The interface also packs a default stylesheet that can be used to style your app. Simply add the below line in your HTML file's <head> tag.
