node-keylogger

Simple node.js linux only(for now) keylogger using events.

It's working exactly as: https://github.com/Bornholm/node-keyboard

I just rewrote it as simple as possible without requiring any modules and using fs.createReadStream instead of fs.open.

Install

npm install node-keylogger

Usage

var Keyboard = require('node-keylogger');

var k = new Keyboard('event0'); // 'event0' is the file corresponding to my keyboard in /dev/input/
k.on('keyup', console.log);
k.on('keydown', console.log);
k.on('keypress', console.log);
k.on('error', console.error);

Events

{ 
  timeS: 1347572085, // Timestamp ( Seconds part )
  timeMS: 741381, // Timestamp ( Microseconds part )
  keyCode: 17, // Keyboard code
  keyId: 'KEY_W', // Key ID /!\ Qwerty layout !
  type: 'keypress', // Event type
  dev: 'event2'  // Device
}

TODO

• Add support for windows

• Add support for osx
