Properties

Property	Default	Accepted values	Description
`input`	required	`HTMLInputElement`	The target input HTML element
`layout`	required	`String` or `Object`	Layout of keys. If you are using the built-in layouts, you can set as the name of the layout. If you want to use custom layout, you need to set a layout `Object`.
`accept`	`null`	`Function`	Event handler. Fired when the "Accept/Close" button pressed.
`cancel`	`null`	`Function`	Event handler. Fired when the "Cancel" button pressed.
`change`	`null`	`Function`	Event handler. Fired when the input value changed.
`next`	`null`	`Function`	Event handler. Fired when the "Next" button pressed or the length of the value of the input reached the `maxLength` of the `input`
`options`	`{}`	`Object`	Functional options.
`defaultKeySet`	`default`	`String`	Default key set. You can choose a desired key set of your layout to be used when a keyboard is initialized.

Options

Option	Default	Accepted values	Description
`useKbEvents`	`false`	`boolean`	If true, the component will generate a `keydown` event and trigger it. If it returns with `false`, it won't insert the new character.
`preventClickEvent`	`false`	`boolean`	If true, the component will `preventDefault` the click event.

Built-in layouts
