was Pressed

Check if a button was pressed earlier.

input.buttonA.wasPressed()

The fact that a button was pressed earlier is remembered. Once was pressed is used, this fact is forgotten and the result is false the next time you check with was pressed (button state is reset). But, if you press the button again before you check with was pressed, it will tell you true.

if (input.pinA1.wasPressed()) {
    console.log("Hey, I was pressed.");
}

Returns

• a boolean: true if the button was pressed before, false if the button was not pressed before

Example

Log a message telling whether button A or B was pressed.

input.buttonB.onEvent(ButtonEvent.Click, function() {
    if (input.buttonA.wasPressed()) {
        console.log("Button A Pressed")
    } else {
        console.log("Button B Pressed")
    }
})
