Is there any way to do Element.requestPointerLock(...

# javascript

Is there any way to do Element.requestPointerLock() in kotlin js? I understand this is marked as experimental in the mozilla docs and therefore not included in the kotlin js element specification. Is there a way to add this in my app?

You can always do element.asDynamic().requestPointerLock()

Aha! thanks!

What does that api do?

It captures the pointer in the element. Mostly used for games where the mouse movement is the controller.

[Jorrit]

inline fun Element.requestPointerLock() = asDynamic().requestPointerLock()

then just use element.requestPointerLock() anywhere?

Seems you can't do external fun Element.requestPointerLock() unfortunately.
