# Lock Status
This extension exposes host-side locks like caps or num lock.
## Enabling the extension
```python
from kmk.extensions.lock_status import LockStatus
locks = LockStatus()
keyboard.extensions.append(locks)
```
## Read Lock Status
Lock states can be retrieved with getter methods and are truth valued -- `True`
when the lock is enabled and `False` otherwise.

## React to Lock Status Changes
Lock Status will accept a callback function that is invoked when the status of
a lock changes. When the function is invoked, it will have a Lock Status object
passed to it.
```python
import board
from kb import KMKKeyboard
from kmk.extensions.lock_status import LockStatus
from kmk.extensions.LED import LED
keyboard = KMKKeyboard()
keyboard.extensions.append(LED(led_pin=[board.GP27, board.GP28]))
def toggle_lock_leds(self):
if self.get_caps_lock():
keyboard.leds.set_brightness(50, leds=[0])
else:
keyboard.leds.set_brightness(0, leds=[0])
if self.get_scroll_lock():
keyboard.leds.set_brightness(50, leds=[1])
else:
keyboard.leds.set_brightness(0, leds=[1])
keyboard.extensions.append(LockStatus(toggle_lock_leds))
```
