pointer IDL

[
	GarbageCollected
] interface Pointer {
	Promise<bool> isMousePresent();
	Promise<bool> isMultiTouchPresent();
};

Object Creation

To create a pointer object, first load the brightsign/pointer module using the Require() method. Then create an instance of the pointer class.

var pointerClass = require("@brightsign/pointer");
var pointer = new pointerClass();

Pointer

Use this interface to determine whether a screen-input device is present.

isMousePresent()

Promise<bool> isMousePresent()

Returns true if a mouse is connected to the player.

isMultiTouchPresent()

Promise<bool> isMultiTouchPresent()

Returns true if a multitouch device is connected to the player.

Example

var PointerClass = require("@brightsign/pointer");
var pointer = new PointerClass();

pointer.isMousePresent().then(
        function(data) {
            console.log("***Mouse Present***");
            console.log(JSON.stringify(data));
        })
    .catch(
        function(data) {
            console.log(JSON.stringify(data));
        });

pointer.isMultiTouchPresent().then(
        function(data) {
            console.log("***MultiTouch Present***");
            console.log(JSON.stringify(data));
        })
    .catch(
        function(data) {
            console.log(JSON.stringify(data));
        });
