Docs Confusion Regarding Event Names about jquery-touch-events

[benmajor]

Thanks for your comment. I will consider re-writing that section of the docs so that it might be a little clearer. However, please be advised that the 'events' in this library are not events per se, and have only the data associated with them. getEndEvent() (and getStartEvent() for that matter) provides a convenient way to access the native event that was used (handy for cancelling default actions or to cancel bubbling).

If you need access to tapend, you should use the second callback argument as follows:

$('#myEle').on('tapend', function(e, touch) {  });

In the above code, touch now contains the data about the library event, rather than the native browser event.

The library does not provide a shim for tapmove (yet). This is on the roadmap, but won't be added until version 1.1. I want to make sure the events already provided are working well, and I'll likely push a new version (which provides tapmove along with some new events) in the next few weeks. Watch this space I guess.

I am also considering adding gestures to the library as well (for example two, three, and four finger taps, etc.), as well as shake and so forth. I don't know whether these deserve to be placed in this library, or whether it'd be worth putting together a new one. I don't want to bloat the events library too much, as the footprint is already as large as I'd like.

Thanks for your comments :)

Ben.
