var pointerClass = require("@brightsign/pointer");
var pointer = new pointerClass();

isMousePresent()

Promise<bool> isMousePresent()

Returns true if a mouse is connected to the player.

Promise<void> enableCursor(bool)

Display a cursor if the parameter passed is true.

Example

var PointerClass = require("@brightsign/pointer");
var pointer = new PointerClass();

pointer.isMousePresent().then(
        function(data) {
            console.log("***Mouse Present***");
            console.log(JSON.stringify(data));
        })
    .catch(
        function(data) {
            console.log(JSON.stringify(data));
        });

pointer.isMultiTouchPresent().then(
        function(data) {
            console.log("***MultiTouch Present***");
            console.log(JSON.stringify(data));
        })
    .catch(
        function(data) {
            console.log(JSON.stringify(data));
        });
