mouse-codes

A comprehensive Rust library for cross-platform mouse button code mapping and conversion. Provides standardized mouse button definitions and platform-specific code mappings for Windows, Linux, and macOS.

Features

• Cross-Platform Support: Unified API for Windows, Linux, and macOS
• Standard Button Mapping: Pre-defined mappings for common mouse buttons
• Custom Button Support: Extensible system for custom mouse buttons
• Flexible Parsing: Case-insensitive parsing with alias support
• Multiple Backends: Choose between std::collections::HashMap or phf for performance
• Serde Support: Optional serialization/deserialization support
• Extended Buttons: Support for extra mouse buttons (feature-gated)

Installation

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]

mouse-codes = "0.1"

Optional Features

• serde: Enables serialization support
• phf: Uses perfect hash functions for better performance
• extended: Enables support for extra mouse buttons (Extra9, Extra10)

Quick Start

use mouse_codes::{Button, Platform};

fn main() {
    // Get code for left button on current platform
    let platform = Platform::current();
    let code = Button::Left.to_code(platform);
    println!("Left button code on {}: {}", platform, code);

    // Parse button from string
    let button: Button = "Right".parse().unwrap();
    println!("Parsed button: {}", button);

    // Convert code back to button
    if let Some(btn) = Button::from_code(1, Platform::Windows) {
        println!("Code 1 on Windows is: {}", btn);
    }
}

Usage Examples

Basic Button Operations

use mouse_codes::{Button, Platform};

// Convert buttons to platform-specific codes
let windows_code = Button::Left.to_code(Platform::Windows); // 1
let linux_code = Button::Right.to_code(Platform::Linux);    // 3
let macos_code = Button::Middle.to_code(Platform::MacOS);   // 2

// Convert codes back to buttons
let button1 = Button::from_code(1, Platform::Windows); // Some(Button::Left)
let button2 = Button::from_code(8, Platform::Linux);   // Some(Button::X1)

String Parsing

use mouse_codes::{parse_button_ignore_case, parse_button_with_aliases};

// Case-insensitive parsing
let button1 = parse_button_ignore_case("left").unwrap();    // Button::Left
let button2 = parse_button_ignore_case("MIDDLE").unwrap();  // Button::Middle

// Parsing with aliases
let button3 = parse_button_with_aliases("lmb").unwrap();    // Button::Left
let button4 = parse_button_with_aliases("back").unwrap();   // Button::X1

Custom Button Mapping

use mouse_codes::{CustomButton, CustomButtonMap, Platform};

let mut custom_map = CustomButtonMap::new("MyCustomMap");

// Add a custom button with platform-specific codes
custom_map.add_button(
    CustomButton::custom_static("HyperClick"),
    Some(16),  // Windows code
    Some(18),  // Linux code  
    Some(13),  // macOS code
).unwrap();

// Use the custom mapping
let code = custom_map.get_code_for_button(
    &CustomButton::custom_static("HyperClick"), 
    Platform::Windows
); // Some(16)

let button = custom_map.from_code(16, Platform::Windows); // Some(CustomButton::Custom(...))

Mouse Event Parsing

use mouse_codes::parse_mouse_input;

let event1 = parse_mouse_input("Press(Left)").unwrap();
let event2 = parse_mouse_input("Scroll(VerticalUp, 5)").unwrap();
let event3 = parse_mouse_input("Move(100, 200)").unwrap();

Platform Mappings

Performance

The crate offers two implementation backends:

• HashMap (default): Uses std::collections::HashMap
• PHF: Uses perfect hash functions for compile-time optimized lookups

Enable the phf feature for better performance:

[dependencies]

mouse-codes = { version = "0.1", features = ["phf"] }
