React NavBar - Keyboard Support

An end user can use the following keys to interact with the UI component.

Key	Action
←	Moves focus to the previous item.
→	Moves focus to the next item.

You can implement a custom handler for a key using the registerKeyHandler(key, handler) method.

App.js


import React from 'react';
import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.common.css';
import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css';
 
import { NavBar } from 'devextreme-react/nav-bar';
 
class App extends React.Component {
    constructor(props) {
        super(props);
 
        this.navBarRef = React.createRef();
    }
 
    render() {
        return (
            <NavBar ref={this.navBarRef} />
        );
    }
 
    get navBar() {
        return this.navBarRef.current.instance;
    }
 
    componentDidMount() {
        this.navBar.registerKeyHandler('backspace', function(e) {
            // The argument "e" contains information on the event
        });
        this.navBar.registerKeyHandler('space', function(e) {
            // ...
        });
    }
}
 
export default App;
