javascript - Get which key pressed from (keypress) angular2

Question

Is it possible to find out which key was pressed when using (keypress) in Angular 2?

E.g.

<input type=text (keypress)=eventHandler()/>

public eventHandler() {
    //Some code
    console.log(keyPressed);
}

Edit: Seems my naming conventions were a bit off. I did not mean AngularJS 2, I meant Angular 2.0 with typescript.

Pass $event to your event handler. The $event is a DOM KeyboardEvent.

<input type=text (keypress)="eventHandler($event)">

eventHandler(event) {
   console.log(event, event.keyCode, event.keyIdentifier);
} 

If you know which KeyboardEvent property you want, you can pass that into your event handler:

<input type=text (keypress)="eventHandler($event.keyCode)">

eventHandler(keyCode) {...}
