TouchSwipe events made easy, by LCweb

No dependencies vanilla javascript class to easily handle swipe events on page elements.

• gives you the swipe delta in each direction
• supports multiple instances per element
• features a destroy public method (targeting the specific instance)

What do you want more from 2KB of code? :P NB: obviously it works only for touch devices.

Installation & Usage

1. include lc-swiper.min.js

2. initialize plugin targeting one/multiple page elements and the callback function triggered after each swipe.NB: first parameter may be a textual selector or a DOM object (yes, also jQuery objects)

You must use a valid callback function as second parameter. It will be triggered each time a swipe event is performed. It has got two parameters:

<script type="text/javascript>
new lc_swiper('#swipe_target', function(directions, $el) {

    // .. do something awesome!

    /*
     * directions object composition:
     * {
        up      : (int) number of pixels swiped
        right   : (int) number of pixels swiped
        down    : (int) number of pixels swiped
        left    : (int) number of pixels swiped
     * }
     */

});
</script>

Multiple actions and the destroy method

As said, you can setup multiple instances of the class and also destroy the single instance for a granular control on what is enabled

<script type="text/javascript>
const instance1 = new lc_swiper('#swipe_target', function(dir, $el) {
    ... 
});

const instance2 = new lc_swiper('#swipe_target', function(dir, $el) {
    ... 
});


// stop performing the first instance callback on swipe
instance1.destroy();
</script>
