I want to use a keyDown event on a div in React. I do:
componentWillMount() {
document.addEventListener("keydown", this.onKeyPressed.bind(this));
}
componentWillUnmount() {
document.removeEventListener("keydown", this.onKeyPressed.bind(this));
}
onKeyPressed(e) {
console.log(e.keyCode);
}
render() {
let player = this.props.boards.dungeons[this.props.boards.currentBoard].player;
return (
<div
className="player"
style={{ position: "absolute" }}
onKeyDown={this.onKeyPressed} // not working
>
<div className="light-circle">
<div className="image-wrapper">
<img src={IMG_URL+player.img} />
</div>
</div>
</div>
)
}
It works fine, but I would like to do it more in React style. I tried
onKeyDown={this.onKeyPressed}
on the component. But it doesn't react. It works on input elements as I recall.

How can I do it?
