I have a simple function that is called every second using setInterval,
I have to change the value to say if there is mouse or keyboard activity.
I update the value of my variable but it's always set as 0 even though the console.log are called.
function generateActivity() {
var o = { is_mouse: 0, is_keyboard: 0 };
// Keyboard activity
uiohook.uIOhook.on('keydown', (e) => {
//console.log('Keyboard!')
o.is_keyboard = 1;
})
// Mouse activity
uiohook.uIOhook.on('mousemove', (e) => {
//console.log('mouse');
o.is_mouse = 1;
})
console.log(o);
}
setInterval(generateActivity, 1*1000);
You should set up your listeners only once, not every second -- they accumulate, so this is going to give problems.
Secondly, your o object should not be created locally every second, which will give you as many objects as calls made. It should be a single object.
Something like this:
var o = { is_mouse: 0, is_keyboard: 0 };
// Keyboard activity
uiohook.uIOhook.on('keydown', (e) => {
//console.log('Keyboard!')
o.is_keyboard = 1;
})
// Mouse activity
uiohook.uIOhook.on('mousemove', (e) => {
//console.log('mouse');
o.is_mouse = 1;
})
function generateActivity() {
console.log(JSON.stringify(o)); // Make sure the object is displayed as we want it.
o.is_mouse = o.is_keyboard = 0; // maybe reset after logging...
}
setInterval(generateActivity, 1*1000);
Note that I have stringified the object for output, as otherwise the console may display it lazily, showing the 0 that was put in the properties after console.log was called.
