Text input from users in Phaser

[Segobiano]

I have not found an example on Phaser examples that takes text inputs from users.  I know i can take key stroke but i want whole strings to be input by the users.  So they can type in a word and strike the enter keyboard key to accept it in or something similar.   

 

Thanks

    // This function computes the ascii for the key if it's an upper- or lower-case letter.

    function mykeydownhandler( evt )

    {

        // Skip it unless it's a-z.

        if( evt.which < "A".charCodeAt(0) || evt.which > "Z".charCodeAt(0) )

        {

            console.log( "Not a letter: ", evt.which );

            return;

        }

        

        var letter = String.fromCharCode( evt.which );

        if( !evt.shiftKey ) letter = letter.toLowerCase();

        

        console.log( letter );

    }

 

In your create() function:

    game.input.keyboard.addCallbacks( this, mykeydownhandler );
