Hammjs - Javascript

Hammjs is a lightweight, flexible and easy to use Javascript library for creating touch gestures.

Features

• Supports multiple gestures like swipe, pinch, rotate, tap, double tap and long press
• Offers easy integration with other Javascript frameworks
• Provides custom events for handling gestures
• Can handle both mouse and touch events
• Works with both desktop and mobile devices

Getting Started

To get started with Hammjs, you need to include the library in your HTML file:

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

Once the library is included, you can start using its functionality. Here's an example of how to detect a swipe gesture:

var myElement = document.getElementById('myElement');
var hammertime = new Hammer(myElement);

hammertime.on('swipe', function(ev) {
    console.log(ev);
});

In this example, we create a new Hammer instance for the myElement element and bind a swipe event to it. When the user swipes on the element, the event handler function will be called and the event object will be logged to the console.

Supported Gestures

Hammjs supports the following gestures:

• tap
• doubletap
• press
• pan
• swipe
• pinch
• rotate

To handle a specific gesture, you need to bind the corresponding event to your element, like we did in the previous example for the swipe gesture.

Conclusion

Hammjs is a powerful and easy to use Javascript library for handling touch gestures. With its support for a variety of gestures and events, it makes it easy to add interactive features to your web applications.
