KeyboardLayoutMap: has() method

Limited availability

This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.

Experimental: This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.

The has() method of the KeyboardLayoutMap interface returns a boolean indicating whether the object has an element with the specified key.

A list of valid keys is found in the UI Events KeyboardEvent code Values spec.

The method is otherwise the same as Map.prototype.has().

Syntax

Parameters

A Boolean indicating whether the specified key was found.

js
navigator.keyboard.getLayoutMap().then((keyboardLayoutMap) => {
  console.log(keyboardLayoutMap.has("KeyW"));
});
