Eagler Mobile

About

Eagler Mobile brings new functionality and benefits for the EaglerCraft web client by providing mobile-friendly touch controls, keyboard access, and other settings configirable through the EaglerCraft client.

Installation

The easiest way to use Eagler Mobile is to use a userscript application such as Greasemonkey, however since Eagler Mobile is plain JavaScript you can easily deploy it in other ways as well. As an example we've included eaglermobile.ef.js which can be run as a mod on EaglerForge.

If you want to download the source, no building is required. The best way to download the source is with Git:

git clone https://github.com/FlamedDogo99/EaglerMobile.git

Features and documentation

Fake API's

Pointerlock methods such as Element.prototype.requestPointerLock, document.pointerLockElement, and document.exitPointerLock are replaced with vanilla JavaScript that mimics pointerlock functionality. This allows the EaglerCraft client to load.
Fullscreen methods such as Element.prototype.requestFullscreen, document.fullscreenElement, and document.exitFullscreen are replaced with vanilla JavaScript that mimics fullscreen functionality. This fixes a crash due with viewport dimensions.

Keyboard Events

The EaglerCraft client captures keypress through a keydown event listener. Because Android devices currently have an issue with keydown and keyup events, Eagler Mobile dynamically toggles between capturing keydown and input events. The state is saved in window.keyboardFix, and is toggled if a faulty keyboard event is detected.
To dispatch keyboard events, Eagler Mobile requires the use of the keyEvent function, in order to maintain functionality for input event listeners. For example, typing an uppercase h in the chat is as simple as:
```
keyEvent("shift", "keydown"); 
keyEvent("h", "keydown");
```

Mobile controls

Eagler Mobile controls can either be shown in-game or in-menu. When creating a an element you can achieve this simply by either adding the inGame or inMenu class.
Simple gesture controls such as scrolling, single pressing, and long pressing have been implemented, however there are currently no functions provided to easily bring this functionality to other elements.

File uploads

On MacOS and iOS safari, the EaglerCraft client's implementation of triggering the file selection dialog does not work. A rudimentary fix has been added for now.
