Swipy

A lightweight JavaScript library for simple touch swipe gesture events.

Installation

NPM

npm i swipyjs

Yarn

yarn add swipyjs

Usage

Define Swipy event listeners by calling on(event, callback):

let swipy = new Swipy(document.getElementById('swipy-container'));

swipy.on('swipeleft', function(event, touches) {
    console.log('Swiped to the left!');
});

The callback function receives two parameters:

• event: the last native touchmove event that was triggered.
• touches: an object containing the current touch coordinates:

{
    down: {x: null, y: null},
    up: {x: null, y: null},
    diff: {x: null, y: null}
}
