This is a small library to read connected gamepads via /dev/input/js0 etc. As it uses /dev/input it only supports Linux. It can be used to create configs with keybindings for games, xboxdrv etc.

Install

For development version:

$ composer require noccylabs/joystick:dev-master

Examples

Example 1: Using raw events

$js = new \NoccyLabs\Joystick\Joystick(0);
echo "Press a button on joystick 0 ... ";
while (true) {
    $raw = $js->getRawEvent();
    if ($raw['type'] & JS_EVENT_BUTTON) {
        echo "Thank you!\n";
        break;
    }
}

Example 2: Using the JoystickState

$js = new \NoccyLabs\Joystick\Joystick(0);
echo "Press button 1 on joystick 0 ... ";
while ($state = $js->update()) {
    if ($state->getButton(1)) {
        echo "Thank you!\n";
        break;
    }
}
