Version 2.0.0 (Stable)

Looking to use react-simple-keyboard in a function component? Check out the demo here:
https://codesandbox.io/s/github/simple-keyboard/react-simple-keyboard-hooks-demo/tree/master/

💥 Breaking Changes

The following changes affect most users using class components, when upgrading from 1.x to 2.x:

• The way to get a keyboard instance has changed, as function components cannot have refs:

BEFORE:

<Keyboard
  ref={r => this.keyboardRef = r}
/>

this.keyboardRef.keyboard.setInput("Hello");

NOW:

<Keyboard
  keyboardRef={r => this.keyboard = r}
/>

this.keyboard.setInput("Hello");

The main demos and the documentation have been updated to reflect this change.
