    Installation

    Npm

    $ npm install tocca

    Bower

    $ bower install Tocca.js -save

    Usage

    Include the script into your page:

    <script src="path/to/Tocca.js"></script>

    Once you have included Tocca.js you will be able to catch all the new events:

    elm.addEventListener('tap',function(e){});
    elm.addEventListener('dbltap',function(e){});
    elm.addEventListener('longtap',function(e){});
    elm.addEventListener('swipeleft',function(e){});
    elm.addEventListener('swiperight',function(e){});
    elm.addEventListener('swipeup',function(e){});
    elm.addEventListener('swipedown',function(e){});

    It works with jQuery as well:

    $(elm).on('tap',function(e,data){});
    $(elm).on('dbltap',function(e,data){});
    $(elm).on('longtap',function(e,data){});
    $(elm).on('swipeleft',function(e,data){});
    $(elm).on('swiperight',function(e,data){});
    $(elm).on('swipeup',function(e,data){});
    $(elm).on('swipedown',function(e,data){});

    Tocca.js supports also the inline events if you are using Riot.js!

    <div ontap="function(e){})"></div>
    <div ondbltap="function(e){})"></div>
    <div onlongtap="function(e){})"></div>
    <div onswipeleft="function(e){})"></div>
    <div onswiperight="function(e){})"></div>
    <div onswipeup="function(e){})"></div>
    <div onswipedown="function(e){})"></div>

    API and Examples

    Anytime you will use a Tocca.js event the callback function will receive a special event object containing the following properties

    • x { Int }: latest x position of pointer at the end of the event
    • y { Int }: latest y position of pointer at the end of the event
    • originalEvent { Object }: the original javascript native event that has been triggered
    • distance: this property is available only for the swipe events
    • x { Int }: the x absolute difference between the beginning and the end of the swipe gesture
    • y { Int }: the y absolute difference between the beginning and the end of the swipe gesture

    Examples:

    elm.addEventListener('dbltap',function (e){
      console.log(e.x);
      console.log(e.y);
    });
    elm.addEventListener('swipeup',function (e){
      console.log(e.x);
      console.log(e.y);
      console.log(e.distance.x);
      console.log(e.distance.y);
    });
     
    // with jQuery
     
    $(elm).on('dbltap',function (e,data){
      console.log(data.x);
      console.log(data.y);
    });
    $(elm).on('swipeup',function (e,data){
      console.log(data.x);
      console.log(data.y);
      console.log(data.distance.x);
      console.log(data.distance.y);
    });

    Anyway you can combine Tocca.js with the default javascript touch events:

    • touchmove
    • touchstart
    • touchend
    • touchcancel

    To disable the default touch behaviours (zoom on double tap, scroll on swipe...) on a certain element via javascript you can always use the following snippet:

    elm.addEventListener('touchmove',function(e){e.preventDefault()});
    elm.addEventListener('touchstart',function(e){e.preventDefault()});
    elm.addEventListener('touchend',function(e){e.preventDefault()});

    Configuration

    Whenever you want to configure the plugin events settings you can do that simply specifying two constants before including Tocca.js into the page

    <script>
    var SWIPE_THRESHOLD = 100, // default value
      DBL_TAP_THRESHOLD = 200, // range of time in which a dbltap event could be detected,
      LONG_TAP_THRESHOLD = 1000, // range of time after which a longtap event could be detected
      TAP_THRESHOLD = 150, // range of time in which a tap event could be detected
      TAP_PRECISION = 60 / 2, // default value (touch events boundaries)
      JUST_ON_TOUCH_DEVICES = false, // default value ( decide whether you want to use the Tocca.js events only on the touch devices )
      IGNORE_JQUERY = false; // default value ( will not use jQuery events, even if jQuery is detected )
    </script> 
    <script src="path/to/Tocca.js"></script>

    In Tocca.js 1.1.0 you can also configure/get the internal options via function:

    window.tocca({
      useJquery: your new option
      swipeThreshold: your new option
      tapThreshold: your new option
      dbltapThreshold: your new option
      longtapThreshold: your new option
      tapPrecision: your new option
      justTouchEvents: your new option
    })
     
    console.log(window.tocca()) // will always return the current internal options

    Browser Support

    Actually the script has been tested on all the modern browsers but it need a better testing phase over several platforms: Chrome 29+ Firefox 23+ Opera 12+ Safari 5+

    It works on mobile/tablet browsers and on desktop browsers as well.

    On the old browsers all the Tocca.js events cannot be triggered.
