Hint: Each object creates a row element (HTML) on the keyboard. e.g. {"key":"value"}, {"key":"value"} => {"0":"A","1":"B","2":"C"}, {"0":"D","1":"E","2":"F"} / keysArrayOfObjects: null, /! Required only if "keysArrayOfObjects" is "null". The path of the "kioskboard-keys-${langugage}.json" file must be set to the "keysJsonUrl" option. (XMLHttpRequest to get the keys from JSON file.) e.g. '/Content/Plugins/KioskBoard/dist/kioskboard-keys-english.json' / keysJsonUrl: null, / Optional: An Array of Strings can be set to override the built-in special characters. e.g. "#", "€", "%", "+", "-", "" / keysSpecialCharsArrayOfStrings: null, / Optional: An Array of Numbers can be set to override the built-in numpad keys.

Prevented when "false" In addition, the "allowMobileKeyboard" option must be "true" as well, if the real/physical keyboard has wanted to be used. / allowRealKeyboard: false, // Allow or prevent mobile keyboard usage. Prevented when "false" allowMobileKeyboard: false, // CSS animations for opening or closing the keyboard cssAnimations: true, // CSS animations duration as millisecond cssAnimationsDuration: 360, // CSS animations style for opening or closing the keyboard => "slide" || "fade" cssAnimationsStyle: 'slide', // Enable or Disable Spacebar functionality on the keyboard.

```js // Select the input or the textarea element(s) to run the KioskBoard KioskBoard.run('.js-virtual-keyboard'); ``` ---------Language (JSON)
ThekeysJsonUrl option has to be set if custom keys are not defined with the keysArrayOfObjects option. JSON format has to be: [{"key":"value", "key":"value"}, ...]. Each object in that array creates a row element (HTML) on the keyboard. The "key" in the objects is used as an "index" for each Keyboard Keys. The "value" is each key's value and inner text.
Additionally, KioskBoard includes 9 different language packages: Arabic, English, French, German, Hungarian, Persian, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish.
