Gesture

Purely functional recognition of Drag and Click gestures over a W3C Pointer Event -compatible API, for Scala/Scala.js

Built on top of State provided by the Cats library.

See also slidedeck about the library design.

Gesture core

Contains the library code:

• GestureProcessor converts a series of PointerEvents into a series of GestureEvents, while updating a Finite State Machine represented by PointerState.

• Optionally, GestureAndRegionProcessor[R] can extend the functionality to tracking the region R where the gesture began and completed, if any. The region itself is provided by the user of the library an can be any type, so long a there is a search function (Double, Double) => Option[R] to find the region R at a coordinate, if any.

• Coordinates are modeled as (Double, Double)

Published for both Scala.jvm and Scala.js.
