How to detect when the user presses Enter in an input field with JavaScript?
To detect when the user presses Enter in an input field with JavaScript, we check the key code.
For instance, we write
const inputId = document.getElementById("input-id");
inputId.addEventListener("keyup", (e) => {
if (e.keyCode === 13) {
console.log("Enter");
}
});
to get the input with getElementById.
Then we add a keyup event listener to it with addEventListener.
In the event listener, we check if enter is pressed by checking if keyCode is 13.
