Example code to put in the article

C#

    public Action AddKeyPressListener(object callback)
    {
        var cb = ReactUnity.Helpers.Callback.From(callback);
        Action<string> listener = null;
        listener = (val) => {
            if (cb?.callback == null) // Check if we lost reference to cb, if so unsubscribe because we probably lost handle.
            {
               OnKeyPress  -= listener;
               return;
            }
            cb.Call(val);
        }

        OnKeyPress += listener;

        return () => OnKeyPress -= listener;
    }

TSX

  const [key, setKey] = useState("");
  useEffect(() => {    
    const unsubscribe = Global.Instance.AddKeyPressListener((input: string) => {
      setKey(input);
    });
    // Get current value before hook is called
    const input= Global.Instance.LastKeyPressed;
    setKey(input);
    return () => unsubscribe();
  }, []);
