hammer.js

A JavaScript library for detecting touch gestures.

What is this repository?

It seems like that hammer.js repository is no more activated.

• Is this library still actively maintained?

But our library (egjs) has deep dependency to hammer.js for touch interaction. And some pending issues were critical for us to make more light size, compatible with node.js , resolve module crash on umd envrioment.

So we solved following issues that are not resolved in original hammer.js

• Support for hammer.js in node.js
  • Make hammerjs server friendly
  • Hammer.js fails in node since window is undefined
• Support ES Module for Tree Shaking
• Change the priority of define and exports for umd
• Polymer/shadow-dom compatibility

We would maintain this repository to fix remain bugs and enhance it until original repository activates.

Usage

hammer.js has a quick start option for gestures it already recognizes.

// Get a reference to an element.
var square = document.querySelector('.square');

// Create an instance of Hammer with the reference.
var hammer = new Hammer(square);

// Subscribe to a quick start event: press, tap, or doubletap.
// For a full list of quick start events, read the documentation.
hammer.on('press', function(e) {
  e.target.classList.toggle('expand');
  console.log("You're pressing me!");
  console.log(e);
});

If you want to recognize your own gestures, such as tripletap, then you'll have to use these steps:

// Get a reference to an element.
var square = document.querySelector('.square');

// Create a manager to manage the element.
var manager = new Hammer.Manager(square);

// Create a recognizer.
var TripleTap = new Hammer.Tap({
  event: 'tripletap',
  taps: 3
});

// Add the recognizer to the manager.
manager.add(TripleTap);

// Subscribe to the event.
manager.on('tripletap', function(e) {
  e.target.classList.toggle('expand');
  console.log("You're triple tapping me!");
  console.log(e);
});
