# cloudiful-bevy-input
Reusable Bevy input abstraction for game-defined actions.
## What it provides
- `InputBindingsPlugin<A>`: generic plugin for a game-defined action enum
- `InputMap<A>`: action -> keyboard/gamepad bindings
- `ActionState<A>`: `pressed`, `just_pressed`, `just_released`, and analog `value`
- `PrimaryGamepad`: auto or manual primary gamepad selection
- `ActiveInputDevice`: tracks whether keyboard/mouse or the primary gamepad is active
- rebind helpers on `InputMap<A>`
## What it does not provide
- camera, inventory, pad, menu, placement, or any other game logic
- a built-in action enum
- UI for controls menus
- save/load for user settings
- project-specific focus gating or business rules
This crate stays generic on purpose: the game defines actions, bindings, persistence, and meaning.
## Minimal demo
```rust
use bevy::input::gamepad::{GamepadAxis, GamepadButton};
use bevy::input::keyboard::KeyCode;
use bevy::prelude::*;
use cloudiful_bevy_input::{
ActionState, ActiveInputDevice, InputBindingsPlugin, InputButton, InputMap,
};
#[derive(Debug, Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Eq, Hash)]
enum Action {
Jump,
MoveX,
}
fn main() {
App::new()
.add_plugins((DefaultPlugins, InputBindingsPlugin::<Action>::default()))
.add_systems(Startup, setup_bindings)
.add_systems(Update, read_input)
.run();
}
fn setup_bindings(mut map: ResMut<InputMap<Action>>) {
map.bind_key(Action::Jump, KeyCode::Space)
.bind_gamepad_button(Action::Jump, GamepadButton::South)
.bind_button_axis(
Action::MoveX,
InputButton::Key(KeyCode::KeyA),
InputButton::Key(KeyCode::KeyD),
)
.bind_gamepad_axis(Action::MoveX, GamepadAxis::LeftStickX);
}
fn read_input(
actions: Res<ActionState<Action>>,
active_device: Res<ActiveInputDevice>,
) {
if actions.just_pressed(Action::Jump) {
info!("jump");
}
let movement = actions.value(Action::MoveX);
if movement != 0.0 {
info!("move_x = {movement}");
}
info!("active device: {:?}", active_device.current());
}
```
## Rebinding
```rust
use bevy::input::keyboard::KeyCode;
use cloudiful_bevy_input::{InputButton, InputMap};
# #[derive(Debug, Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Eq, Hash)]
# enum Action { Jump }
fn rebind_jump(map: &mut InputMap<Action>) {
map.rebind_button(
Action::Jump,
InputButton::Key(KeyCode::Space),
InputButton::Key(KeyCode::Enter),
);
}
```
