TAP.JS

Tap is a Javascript library for easy unified handling of user interactions such as mouse, touch and pointer events.

No need to detect what kind of events are supported, Tap handles this for you
Small distribution size of 1Kb
Use fastest event types supported (majority of browsers has ~300ms delay between touch/pointer events and click). Every millisecond does really matter!

Installation

If you are using Bower:

bower install tap

For npm users:

npm install tapjs

Otherwise just download the library.

Include it anywhere in your html file (it does not matter where — in <head> or not):

<script src="bower_components/tap/dist/tap.min.js"></script>

Usage

Using Tap is super easy. Just handle the 'tap' event in a way you are familiar with:

document.getElementById('any-element').addEventListener('tap', function (e) {
    // All the magic happens here
});

With jQuery

$('#any-element').on('tap', function (e) {
    // All the magic happens here
});

With Zepto

$('#any-element').on('tap', function (e) {
    // All the magic happens here
});

With Dojo

var myButton = dojo.byId('any-element');
dojo.connect(myButton, 'tap', function(e){
    // All the magic happens here
});

With YUI

YUI().use('event', 'node', function (Y) {
    Y.one('#any-element').on('tap', function(e) {
        // All the magic happens here
    });
});

With ExtJS

Ext.get('any-element').on('tap', function (e) {
    // All the magic happens here
});

With Meteor

First, install Meteor package:

meteor add jimbog:tap

Then, the tap event is used just like any other event in Meteor, here is an example for an anchor element:

Template.MyTemplate.events({
    'tap a': function(evt, tmpl){
        evt.preventDefault();
        console.log('you tapped the link');
    }
})

With Angular

Just add the code below or dist/tap.angular.js to your project, and use ng-tap insted of ng-click. Do not forget add ngTap as a dependency.

angular.module('ngTap', []).directive('ngTap', function() {
    return function(scope, element, attrs) {
        element.bind('tap', function() {
            scope.$apply(attrs['ngTap'], element);
        });
    };
});

With Knockout

tap is not in the list of known events for Knockout, so use custom event binding to handle tap event:

<button data-bind="event: {tap: onAddToCart}">Add to cart</button>
