Delay before repeat (ala keypress repeat delay)

[dansteingart]

Is there a simple way of implementing a hold delay, such that the following behavior happens:

1. On button press: single event,
2. then if held an X ms delay before it repeats.

Similar to a keyboard repeat delay. TIA.

@dansteingart I don't think there is a way implemented but you can implement it yourself such easily, e.g.

// time to wait before repeating key
const repeatAfterMs = 1000 // 1s
// repeat speed
const repeatSpeedMs = 300 // 0.3s

let repeatStartTimeout, repeatInterval

gamepad
.before('button0', () => {
  action()
  repeatStartTimeout = setTimeout(() => {
    repeatInterval = setInterval(() => {
      action()
    }, repeatSpeedMs)
  }, repeatAfterMs)
})
.after('button0', () => {
  clearTimeout(repeatStartTimeout)
  clearInterval(repeatInterval)
})
