Methods

The InteractiveComponent class provides you methods you should override to handle interactions of your component's $el.

onClick(evt) {
  // handle click event
}

onMouseOver(evt) {
  // handle mouseenter event
}

onMouseOut(evt) {
  // handle mouseleave event
}

onTouchStart(evt) {
  // handle touchstart event
}

onTouchUp(evt) {
  // handle touchend event
}

onTouchMove(evt) {
  // handle touchmove event
}

Properties

The class provides you also some useful properties about user swiping to avoid you to recalulate them.

this.swipe = {
  distanceX: 0, // distance swiped on X
  distanceY: 0, // distance swiped on Y
  directionX: 0, // 1: right, -1: left
  directionY: 0 // 1: top, -1: bottom
};
