#Simple Swipe Events

Detects and dispatches swipe events. The minified script is 1kB.

• swipe-left
• swipe-right
• swipe-up
• swipe-down

##Usage

###2 methods to import the library

1. Include the script on your page

<script src="swiper.min.js"></script>

2. Use with Browserify

const simpleSwipeEvents = require('simple-swipe-events');

###Options

Set the base element

By default swipe events are registered to the document but can be unregistered from the document and registered on another dom element using the setBaseElement function.

simpleSwipeEvents.setBaseElement(document.getElementById('aDiv'));

Child elements of the base element can then listen to swipe events

Set the minimum distance

The minimum distance to trigger a swipe event can be set using the setMinimumMovement function (default value is 30 pixels).

// set minimum movement to 60 pixels
simpleSwipeEvents.setMinimumMovement(60);

###Examples

Without using any options you can listen to swipe events on any element in the document

document.getElementById('aDiv').addEventListener('swipe-down', function() {
  console.log('swipe-down triggered on #aDiv');
});

// or with jQuery
$('div').on('swipe-up', function() {
  console.log('swipe-up triggered on a div element');
});

Setting the base element means that swipe events are available to the base element and it's child elements

simpleSwipeEvents.setBaseElement(document.getElementById('aDiv'));

document.getElementById('childDiv').addEventListener('swipe-right', function () {
  console.log('swipe-right triggered');
});

$('div').on('swipe-down', function () {
  console.log('swipe-down triggered on a div that is a child of aDiv');
});
