Event: KEY_UP
Phaser.Input.Keyboard.Events.KEY_UP
KEY_UP

Description:

The Key Up Event.

This event is dispatched by the Keyboard Plugin when any key on the keyboard is released.

Unlike the ANY_KEY_UP event, this one has a special dynamic event name. For example, to listen for the A key being released use the following from within a Scene: this.input.keyboard.on('keyup-A', listener). You can replace the -A part of the event name with any valid Key Code string. For example, this will listen for the space bar: this.input.keyboard.on('keyup-SPACE', listener).

You can also create a generic 'global' listener. See Keyboard.Events.ANY_KEY_UP for details.

Finally, you can create Key objects, which you can also listen for events from. See Keyboard.Events.UP for details.

Parameters:

name type description
event KeyboardEvent

The native DOM Keyboard Event. You can inspect this to learn more about the key that was released, any modifiers, etc.
